We stayed at Barrow House in October 2010 and had a wonderful time. Ms. Shirley and Chris are wonderful hosts and made our stay comfortable. We stayed in the Empire Suite in the Printer's Cottage, across the street from Barrow House. We found it clean, roomy and comfortable. The suite has a living room with 2 recliners, a LCD TV and DVD player. There are lots of movies available for viewing. The bedroom is spacious with antique Eastlake furniture and a daybed. The bathroom is large with a clawfoot tub/shower combo. The cottage has a shared sunroom, kitchen and veranda. All of which make the stay more cozy and relaxing. Ms. Shirley is a wealth of knowledge about the St. Francisville area. She supplies maps and recommendations for dining in the area. She gave us helpful tips about the Angola Prison rodeo which we attended on Sunday. Breakfast was delicious each morning and entertaining with great conversation.
We had never stayed at a B&B before and were a little apprehensive. But we were quite pleased with our stay at Barrow House and will recommend it to our friends.

My friend and I were very excited to stay here. we had booked our room online, and had correspondence with one of the owners by email on our room. At first we booked the Rose Room and then realized it only had a double bed. We then emailed back and changed our room to one that had a bigger bed. We thought that we were good to go, but when we arrived after driving all day, they did not have the right room for us. We asked them about our request of a room with a larger bed, and the owner responded very rudely to us and said they were completely booked up. Even though we had an email stating the confirmation that the larger room was ours. The owner didn't even give us a chance to show them the email. So needless to say, we slept in a double bed with two people for two nights. Our stay was not enjoyable. The pastries that we recieved in the morning were wonderful, but I find it rediculous that you would have to pay an additional $5 for eggs, when this is a B&B. Also you only get one hour to have breakfest unless you get it togo; which is what we did since we were doing several activities while we were visiting. I will never come back to this B&B, I was very disappointed, and we ended up paying more for the room we didn't want.

We have stayed at Barrow House and the Printers Cottage three times over the years. Our recent visit was just as enjoyable. We found the place very clean and comfortable and love the quaintness. The innkeepers are very welcoming and helpful with recommendations. We can't wait to go back.

We stayed at the Barrow House but in the Printer's Cottage next door. It was dirty, moldy and every single surface was covered with stuffed teddy bears (which were also very dusty). Couldn't use any surface since all were covered with bears. Moved them onto the floor and into the closets but moving them created an allergy attack. Just disgusting. There were 61 bears in one (small) bathroom. It was creepy. Had they not be so dirty is probably wouldn't have been so bad. I slept in a bed with a canopy - everytime you moved dust would float down from above. Also the bath mats need to be thrown away and the whole place scrubbed. Couldn't wait to leave.
