Hanover House Bed & Breakfast was built in the 1860's with later additions. Its surrounding green fields, lovely landscaping, full front porch, deck, large in-ground swimming pool, 2 stocked ponds, and English country flower and vegetable gardens enchant everyone. A separate tree-lined drive leads to the stables. The charming home is furnished with elegant Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian antique furniture and prints, gathered during the proprietor's residency in the United Kingdom (where she restored a fairy-tale 16th century thatched cottage). Hand-made and hand-decorated porcelains by Royal Doulton, Royal Worchester, Royal Stratford, Aynsley, and others forming fanciful characters such as Sherlock Holmes, Alice in Wonderland, and King Henry the Eighth adorn niche and nook.


The house features a parquet floor foyer, panelled doors, exposed cherry beams, and a cherry mantle surrounding the family room fireplace. The gourmet kitchen has a step-down wet bar not far away. A small library, sunlit by priory-style beveled glass windows, is a cozy spot for sampling books

Scrumptious full breakfasts (varying daily from fruit-topped Belgian waffles or pancakes to fancy or traditional meat and egg dishes, fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden, and more) are served in the 14' x 25' formal dining room, with its crown molding and 9-inch baseboards, on an elegant Baker dinner table. Pretty English Staffordshire Burleigh dishes and real silverware cutlery add their sparkle to each meal.

There are five tasteful bedrooms, each with a king or queen-sized 4-poster bed, with additional twin beds available. Two of the 4-poster beds have lovely canopies and all are topped with soft, beautiful, English down and feather duvets. Three bedrooms have private bathrooms. The master bedroom is 18' x 15' feet with accompanying sitting room and fireplace. Its floor is covered by plush, supple, hunter green carpet and there are walk-in and cedar closets. The room's bathroom features a private steam sauna, roomy shower, separate soaker whirlpool tub, and double-bowled vanities. Each level of the house is air-conditioned.

The quiet elegance of Hanover House can also provide a charming, relaxed atmosphere for GROUP MEETINGS, CONFERENCES, or LECTURES, with a catered additional meal possible. It is a lovely setting for WEDDINGS, RECEPTIONS, BIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES, and, RETIREMENT PARTIES.
