東漢普頓藝術之家住宿加早餐旅館

Girls getaway with my teenage daughter. We live locally on Long Island. About 1 hour from the ArtHouse. Wanted to try something different as we typically do a lot of resort stays together. Michael and Rosalind are lovely hosts and their talent is exceptional. You'll see that if you take the time to tour each of their studios. Now for my review of their ArtHouse. Overall, a memorable stay. Depending on which room type you book, you'll invest $800-$1,100. Even more, if you visit during high season when their outdoor pool is open. Depending on when you book, note that part or all of your prepayment is nonrefundable. With that said, my expectations were high. I'm also in the travel biz 20+ years. I admit however that inns, homes and B&Bs are far from my area of expertise. EXTERIOR: The siding and facade of the house were different from what I was expecting. It seemed like it needed a refresh. Knowing they had state of the art amenities inside the home, I expected the entrance to be different at first glance. RECEPTION: A received a call from Michael prior to my arrival. I advised I was on my way. During that call, there was no discussion of where to park or which door to enter when I got there. I also advised I sent multiple emails to which he said he replied. I checked my spam. Oddly enough, I never received anything. Upon arrival, I parked in their driveway not knowing I needed to pull into the adjacent driveway and enter through the side door. This made for an uncomfortable start because we were ringing the wrong doorbell next to a garage that was halfway open. For a couple of minutes there, I did not feel safe and instantly felt regret. Michael soon greeted us however and turned that around. He instructed where to park and gave us the full tour. That tour was easily 20 minutes. He showed us the grounds, the room and maps of the area. My opinion is this tour could have been shorter. My teen was disengaged so I could only imagine for parents traveling with small children. OUTDOOR POOL: Not open for our stay but I went into this fully aware of that. My suggestion is to put on a pool cover. You could see the emptiness of the concrete and some of the murky water. It took away from the beauty of the surrounding area which I'm sure is fabulous when the pool is open. The prices as mentioned earlier are higher in the summer once you can swim.. Approximately $200 p/night more. We did not use their indoor pool. It's small and serves its purpose but not inviting enough to want to put our bathing suits on. Just my opinion. I know guests do use it. The pool table and darts were also an option but we elected not to use. Overall, we never revisited the downstairs of the house after our tour to game or swim. BUTLER PANTRY: This is a lovely area outside their kitchen that has bountiful snacks and drinks. We didn't take much but appreciated the selection offered. Keep in mind the owners are using their kitchen so this area is not fully private. BICYCLES

One of our favorite places anywhere! The house and rooms are amazing. The pool and hot tub are great. The gardens are beautiful. And Rosalind and Michael quickly feel like friends, not just hosts. We've been there three times already, and hope to come back many more times.
