Thank you Richard for providing such a beautiful and interesting place for us to have some quiet time together. We needed a place to relax and destress after a very busy time in our lives. We felt right at home and were as comfortable as if we were at home. The room was perfect and the breakfast delicious!

Tucked away on a residential street in the small town of Bellevue (Northern Ohio), is the picturesque Victorian Tudor Inn Bed & Breakfast. We were greeted at the door by Innkeeper Richard Stegman and his warm welcoming smile, then taken on a grand tour of this more than 7500 square foot historic English tudor, built in 1906. Each of the delicately designed guest rooms are filled with antiques and collectibles, gathered and purchased by Richard over the years. Richard mentions that there were so many antique pieces he found that spoke to his heart, he knew he could not re-sell them… they would eventually have resting place.

Relaxing in the living room after a long drive, with a glass of wine in hand, we had tantalizing conversations with Richard and some of his other guests. Mary and Jane, out-of-towners who frequent the B&B often, tell us: “The Victorian Tudor Inn is like a journey back in time. A perfect anecdote to the fast paced world…a step away from the rat race.” “We feel welcome and at home in a way that we don’t feel at other accommodations.”

The morning after our arrival, the aroma of fresh, local bacon frying danced in the air enticing me to seek out the kitchen. The fresh fruit, cinnamon French toast and juices welcomed me to the table. Cooked to order hot Belgian waffles, extra large country eggs or omelets, served with the vegetables and cheese of your choice were just minutes away. This delectable breakfast made for a king, or queen, is the perfect start to anyone’s day!

Richard’s warm personality and optimistic charm made us feel as if we had been on an overnight visit with our own family.

My husband and I wanted to stay somewhere unique and affordable. We checked out at least dozen different small Inns/B & B's websites and decided on The Victorian Tudor Inn. And what a WONDERFUL Inn this was. So beautiful, so clean, so decorative, so comfortable - so private. The Innkeeper was clearly a professional, he was engaging yet provided total privacy when needed. We were impressed with the historical and antique nature of our surroundings, but had all the modern conveniences - including internet, hundreds of TV channels, IPOD/IPAD docking stations, etc. This was honestly one of our best stays at any lodging facility of any type ever!

Twice a year we invite our clients to join us for an outing. Historically we provided overnight accomodations at local motels. This year we decided to try something different. Twice we reserved the entire Inn and had an excellent steak dinner provided by the Inn. The food was excellent along with the fine wine. Our guests truly enjoyed the suites, food and the stay. The Inn Keeper was personable, friendly and attentative to our guests. They are excited to join us again next year. We plan to book again for May and September 2012. I would recommend this establishment to other professionals for meetings, dinners and overnight stays. It is quiet, classy and a place where your clients can relax and be themselves. David T.
