There are times in life when it's good to just get away from routine and the humdrum of daily living, don't you think?
The Penrose Victorian Inn in Haydenville, Massachusetts, shown in this post, is a great place to escape to, particularly if one loves anything Victorian.
A visit there is a perfect opportunity to do what the saying on the dining room fireplace below says:
Why not feast your eyes on a dining room like the one shown above and below, and dream of a different time and age?
The rose-covered wallpaper, itself, is swoonworthy to Victorian aficionados.
For an extra special treat, a visit to the Penrose Victorian Inn fits the bill.
If Victorian ambiance and decor are your cup of tea, this totally charming and elegant inn will keep you smiling.
The innkeepers, Nancy and Dick Zimmer, are as charming as the establishment they run.
They are world travelers, too, and will gladly tell you about some of their ventures to all the Continents!
Where else, besides the Penrose Victorian Inn, can one dine with a nearby parrot named Edna May for company?
Or hear the sweet melodies of an exquisite "player piano" drifting up to beautifully decorated bedrooms?
Exquisite stained glass, picturesque lamps of every possible description, hundreds of antiques and Victorian decor in every direction are all yours for a few precious hours when you check in as a guest at the Penrose Victorian Inn.
We hope to have several posts on this darling inn so, if interested, keep checking back, from time to time, to Writing Straight from the Heart.
Our daughter and son-in-law gave us a certificate to stay at the Penrose and it turned out to be quite an unforgettable birthday gift!
Keep coming back for more posts and photos on the Penrose Victorian Inn, will you?
