Every year, one of our kids goes to camp in the area and we come up early to have a mini-vacation before getting them.
My husband and I stayed in the Blue Willow. The service we experienced while there was great, except not by the owner. They had gone on vacation and had a sub. She was wonderful. The owners however, were not. Our problem was that we were there early to pick up our daughter from camp. We were supposed to go to a closing ceremony the 3rd evening during our stay, and then pick up our daughter the next morning. However, that evening our daughter was begging us to take her home. She had been there for 2 weeks, and had had enough of roughing it at camp. Plus, most of her friends were going that evening as well. She was willing to sleep on the floor of our room and was near tears. Well, the Blue Willow is impossibly small, has just the queen bed and had no floor space.
My husband put in a call to the owner asking about getting moved to a larger room. We had not used our current room since it had been cleaned that day. We were more than willing to pay the difference for the larger room. However, the Mrs. Kerr said she could rent us the other room in addition to our current room. She said the other room had only tile floors (which our daughter was perfectly willing to sleep on and her bedding from camp to make a pallet with). So Mrs. Kerr wanted us to put our daughter in a room alone and said my husband and I could stay in our room. Keep in mind that they had already taken $450 dollars, and this was the third night of our stay. It's not like we had asked for this upfront trying to get their policies twisted for the entire time. It was a surprise to us that our daughter wanted to go home. Sadly, we had to leave our daughter at camp and promised her to get her as early as possible, missing breakfast.

The Blue Willow was clean and decorated beautifully. However, I had two complaints:
1) The size of the room. My husband and I are average size people and felt very cramped. There is just enough space to get around the bed. If either one of us had been large, it would have been impossible. I couldn't imagine staying there in weather that forced you to eat breakfast in the room. We ate on the deck.
2) The stench of the towels. They have been mildewed and wiping your face or body leaves that scent on you. Someone else mentioned that when staying there back in December, unbelievably it is still a major problem. We told the sub innkeeper the first morning and she apologized and gave us a brand new set - which also was mildewed! We gave up at that point and just used the robes as towels. Note to the innkeepers: The ONLY way to get that smell out, short of trashing the towels, is to soak the towels for at least an hour in non-chlorine bleach. Biz is one example. The room as very clean, but seemed so much less so with the spoiled towels and I cannot rank cleanliness that high because of it.

The breakfast was a disappointment. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't what I expected. The first morning we had a half a plate of fresh fruit and a piece of quiche. The fruit was delicious and fresh. The quiche was slightly overcooked and hadn't been put together properly. The result was huge clumps of bacon missing the egg between them. The second morning was another large portion of fresh fruit (yum) and a muffin. Coffee was those "dunk in hot water" bags and wasn't up to par. We drank that coffee, then went to the coffee shop in town to get a real cup. We don't know if the third morning would have been like one of their raved about breakfasts, but we never experienced it. Never had potatoes of any kind as talked about or pictured? I have stayed in Bed and Breakfast that had a lesser breakfast but wasn't disappointed because they didn't rave about it ahead of time. My breakfast at Hidden springs was a disappointment because they talk about it a lot on the website.

The location is good, not great. It is a nice walk into town but I don't think you would do that often. It's not close enough to leave your car parked while your there. If you go eat or shop your more than likely will want to take your car. Also, you park on the street and must negotiate stairs down into the room. Fortunately we don't have a problem with that, but someone less agile would. We had to be careful doing this with suitcases on rain slick stairs.
*The B&B does not have wifi available. Not having free wifi these days is outdated. It doesn't cost very much and makes things a lot more convenient. My husband is self-employed and must keep up with his email. To do so ,we had to sit at the library (which is beautiful by the way).

So, in summary, our stay wasn't a disaster but it fell short in many areas. We would never go back and no, we would not recommend staying there. Oh, and we also had opted to stay a fourth night in town (of course not here) and found a room at the Flat Iron for the same price. Huge room, stunning views, free wifi, kitchenette, and its right above the coffee shop:)

We recently exchanged our wedding vows at Hidden Springs.. The cottage was beautiful, the ceremony was more than we had hoped for . Stephanie and Jim did a beautiful job arranging our wedding and hosting it in the lovely garden area, the cake and decorations were to die for!!!! The garden area was beautiful with the waterfall and the flowers and the teak furniture... Stephanie really went out of her way to accommodate all our special requests. Both Jim and Stephanie are outstanding Inn Keepers who genuinely love to pamper their guests.. I can not say enough about the wonderful time we had at Hidden Springs and our wedding will be memorable for years and years to come thanks to Jim and Steph. We already booked for our first anniversary for next year! Now that says a lot about what type of experience we had at Hidden Springs. We are already recommending Hidden Springs to all of our friends and family!!

My Wife and I decided to take a little end of winter vacation to Eureka Springs and it was just what we needed. We Found Hidden Springs B&B here on Trip Advisor and it sounded just like what we were looking for. The owners were very kind and helpful in explaining the room options and the booking process took only a few minutes. When we arrived we were greeted with such kindness; and the owners helped us pick out a few restaurants and local flare to check out for our stay. We stayed in the Blue Willow room and it very beautiful and very comfortable. The victorian decor was tastefully done and the bed was so comfortable. We enjoyed taking nice hot jacuzzi baths every night and waking up to the most amazing breakfasts we have ever had at any B&B. Hidden Springs is our new favorite B&B, as is Eureka Springs our new favorite weekend getaway. We can't wait to go back in the spring!

This was our first time to stay at Hidden Springs B&B. I found this beautiful Inn via their web site. The Tobe Smith cottage was just as I had seen on the website. It was elegant and such a cozy, romantic room. The decor was beautiful down to the bath and bed linens. My favorite part of our stay was the absolutley wonderful and delicious breakfast that was brought right to our door each morning. I even ask Stephanie the owner for the recipe for the sausage bruchette. This was the best gourmet breakfast I have ever had. I know that I could never recreate such an awesome recipe. It it simply Stephanie's own delicious creation. We hated to leave this beautiful Inn. But, I know that we will be back to our romantic getaway soon. I highly recommend Hidden Springs B&B to anyone looking to be pampered weather it be for a night or for a weekend.
