Daniel Stebbins House Bed & Breakfast

The Daniel Stebbins House (not Inn, as described here in Trip Advisor) in South Hadley is a charming B&B with 4 rooms on the upstairs level (this is not an accessible place if you don't like stairs). All 4 are very nicely furnished with period pieces. I stayed in the Red Room (#1) which has a queen-sized bed and private bath. The B&B is located just a couple of blocks from "downtown" South Hadley and Mount Holyoke College, an easy walk.
The room was clean and inviting. The bed was very comfortable -- a padded mattress cover made it soft, and the down comforter on top was very welcome, even in August (the days were warm but the nights chilled down). I slept very well in this big bed. :-)
I stayed on a Friday night -- weekend rates are $10/night more but you get a full breakfast the next day. The breakfast was scrambled eggs done the way I like (on the soft side), a coffee cake (which I didn't try, being diabetic, but it looked good!), fresh fruit cut up in a bowl, breads/english muffins, orange juice (they produced V8 for me, since I can't have fruit juice) and dry cereal (boxed). No meat (bacon, etc.) though.
The other rooms (yes, I peeked in since the doors were open!) were furnished just as nicely as mine. One room had two beds instead of the one large one, and one had a 4-poster bed that was so high off the ground, it had a stepstool! The proprietress, Ann Furnelli, was very friendly and helpful.
I will definitely stay here again when I get the chance! I was just lucky that the on-campus hotel I was staying at (Willits-Hallowell Center at Mount Holyoke College) had a conference booked so I couldn't extend my stay one more day, forcing me to find another place. Nothing like serendipity!
