You can tell a lot about a B&B within the first few minutes of pulling into the parking lot and walking through the front door. We dropped by the Shamrock Thistle and Crown B&B to get an idea of what this lovely looking Victorian might have to offer because we have out-of-town company coming to visit us at our new... More

I took my bride of 25 years to this Bed & Breakfast for our anniversary getaway. What a pleasant surprise as this B& B is truly a great place for relaxed enjoyment. From the warm and cozy den by the fireplace to the elegant dining room where breakfast was served we enjoyed every moment. Anne and Brantley have done an... More

We loved this place so much we are returning in December. We have stayed in B&B's around the globe and this is one of the very few that we have returned to. The humor, the unbelievable breakfast from a truly inspirational couple all made our stay relaxing. Sitting in the rocker talking with the innkeeper was heartwarming and I felt... More

My wife Jennifer and I just stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful time. The home itself is simply beautiful and just overflowing with warmth and charm. Our room (the Blarney Room) was just georgeous and perfect for couples. The innkeepers were 2 of the nicest people you will ever meet. From the first minute you arrive Brantley... More

I stayed here for three nights when I closed on my house in The Villages. I stayed in the cottage which is comfortable, charming and absolutely lovely. The breakfasts were delicious!

The country side around the property is magnificent with amazing views. Brantley is a wonderful conversationalist and Anne is a very pleasant and joyful person. They have beautiful children. The...

This was the 1st time my husband and I had gotten away by ourselves without our kids. I wanted the B&B experience but my husband was not sold on the idea of sharing a home with strangers. So I spent hours for days searching every B&B in Florida. (and I mean every) Being from Sarasota, I didn't really care where... More

My husband and 3 kids stayed Friday and Saturday at the Shamrock Thistle and Crown. What a wonderful time we had. Anne was wonderful and what a pleasure to meet a fellow Northern Irish woman!! Saturday was our son's 9th birthday and we came down for breakfast to a lovely birthday decorated table and one impressed 9 year old. Thanks... More

99% is the score we gave the cottage after a five night stay. We had a wonderful time at the Shamrock. Brantley and Anne go out of their way to make sure you are beyond happy during your stay. Anyone who has a reason to be in the area has two choices a cookie cutter hotel or a home away... More
