“Our stay in Glen Rose for the Paluxy Pedal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

I had such a great time here at Bussey's. They treated us like family. The room we stayed in, The Cajun Cabin, was unbelievable. Every single detail you could imagine was there. I won't spoil the fun for the next guest, but you won't believe what happens in the room when you turn out the lights! She even made us homemade cookies! I really can't wait to go back. These two will make you feel right at home. We were in town for the annual Paluxy Pedal.

“Treated Like Family...Maybe Better”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

My wife and I were in Glen Rose to do some bike riding in prep for an upcoming race, and wanted something besides the typical chain hotel. We had a very nice stay at Bussey's SSBnB, and would certainly stay again if we were in the area. The location is great, within a couple of blocks of 'downtown' and the square, and just a block from a nice restaurant. The room (we stayed in the Cozy Victorian) was plenty big, cozy and well appointed. Though this isn't your standard bed and breakfast, with a prepared morning meal, that actually worked perfect for us as we were on the road by 7am both mornings (to beat the heat) and really had no time or desire for a formal breakfast. Plenty of fixins, both for breakfast and a non-stop array of snacks, was provided in the 'hospitality room', just off our suite and available 24 hours. The highlight of our stay was the hospitality of the Busseys, going out of their way to assure we had what we needed, including an ample supply of ice early in the morning. There's no TV, but we survived, though the free WiFi was much appreciated. All and all, a very enjoyable weekend.

Room Tip: Either room would be a good choice, though the Cozy Victorian appears a little bigger.

“Grandmother-Mother-Daughter Weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2010

We wanted to take a trip for just the three of us, Grandmother-Mother-Daughter, so we decided to go with Bussey's Bed & Breakfast. They gave us a discount on renting both rooms, but you can easily pass between them if you have both. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. They have improved the place recently, making a pleasant hospitality room that can be accessed easily so that they can provide food and we can enjoy it at leisure without being disturbed. We sat on the lawn & porch and enjoyed, we walked through town and visited many interesting shops with friendly people, we walked to the Big Rocks Park and enjoyed watching the sun set and the moon rise. We enjoyed it so much we returned to see the sun rise in the morning. It's a beautiful area, the innkeepers are nice and hospitable, the room is pleasant with its electric fireplace and a pleasant selection of books and games. Very refreshing weekend. I think we'll stay here again!

“It really is something special!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2009

My daughter & I went here for a Mother-Daughter weekend two years ago and enjoyed it so much we came back for another weekend and found that they'd made many upgrades and improvements. It was an enjoyable weekend, from the friendly but not intrusive hosts, to the pleasant & comfortable room, to the variety of foods available for breakfast and the opportunity to fix those in our own time frame, we really enjoyed the place and plan to return next year.

“Great place. We won't stay anywhere else!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2009

We stayed in the Cajun Cowboy room. It had everything we needed! Even a few supplies we forgot! I loved the country music left in the room. The old westerns were great too! There are supplies to make your own breakfast, but we did not use any of them. The room also comes with a well stocked fridge.

The room was cool and dark and we slept great! The bed was comfortable. The Busseys are awesome hosts! We would not stay anywhere else! It's like staying with family.

We sat outside in the garden and enjoyed the fish ponds. It's a great place to relax!

The Busseys also recommended great places to eat: Turn & Burn and the Riverhouse Grill (which is across the street!).

Bussey's Something Special is very close to the square. We were easily able to walk down to the square and visit the shops.
