    "Come as guests, leave as family" We booked a little get away for a couple of days and we found a gold mine. We really did come as guests and leave as family. From the time we arrived until the time we left we felt as if we were part of the family. We loved getting to know Jill and Peter and learning about their family and the history of the house. The house was decorated so nicely and no matter where you were on the property it was very relaxing. There are 5 rooms upstairs and each one has a name and a theme. We stayed in room 4, North Nest. There is only 1 room that does not have its own private bathroom (South Siesta) all of the other rooms have private baths. Other than going out for lunch and dinner we maximized our usage of the property and its amenities. There was a nook where we enjoyed tea and fresh Timbrook honey, a common room where we enjoyed talking and watching Netflix. Outside there was a deluxe hot tub, an in ground pool, a patio with a fire pit and bird feeders, a green house, a garden, a chicken coop, a tropical aviary with 7 parrots, and 4 acres to just walk around and enjoy. The gazebo was under construction, but looked like it would be open soon. Breakfast (served between 7-9) - Both mornings we enjoyed a magnificent breakfast that was made with love and as farm fresh as it gets. The first morning we enjoyed for our first course of grilled avocados with fresh salsa. The second course was crepes with fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, maple syrup, sausage patties, coffee and juice. The second morning we enjoyed a first course of fresh fruit, yogurt and nuts. The second course was a delicious caprice omelette, candied bacon, breakfast potatoes, zucchini bread, coffee and juice. WOW! The food was so fresh and so tasty and oh so yummy! Our stay was in the middle of the week and it was nice as there was only one other couple that was staying there. We were told that the rooms are booked on weekends and its really busy. Parking was a little tight as there was some construction on the driveway and a retaining wall during our stay, but other than that there are enough spots for each of the guests to park. This was our first time at a bed and breakfast. We had such a great time that the bar for other B&B's will all be compared to this stay. I definitely recommend staying here and can't wait to come back for a future visit.

    I was looking for a local place for a romantic getaway, and came across the Timbrook Guesthouse pretty quickly. Who knew this idyllic property was right outside of Antrim park? If you're not looking for it, you might miss it. Especially coming from the north as the bushes almost obscured the sign! There are trees surrounding the property, so once you enter, you really feel as if you've left the city! There is plenty of parking, and they are working on adding a few more overflow spots. If you really want some privacy, stay during the week like we did. There was only one other room occupied at any point during our stay. We heard they get busy on the weekends. There are five rooms available upstairs. These are designed for two, and no children are allowed. So it's a perfect place to get away. The South Siesta has a private bathroom across the hall, and all the other rooms have one inside. Each room is uniquely decorated around a particular theme. On the property, you'll find a luxurious hot tub, a relaxing pool with flotation devices available, a flower garden, the aviary housing cockatoos and macaws, several bird feeders for wild birds near the large open patio, a fire pit, and tons of green space to enjoy. There is also a gazebo under construction and almost finished! What really makes the stay unique is the hospitality and fine dining. Jill and Peter were both excellent hosts and fun to talk to. Jill whipped up some fabulous breakfasts including meat for us, despite the fact that she's a vegetarian herself. She can accommodate your dietary needs, too. The honey available at the tea station is made on site. Yes, they have bees, too! And chickens. Talk about fresh eggs! I wouldn't be surprised if more of our breakfast was home-grown, as I also recognized mint and basil out in the patio gardens. "Come as guests, leave as family" is not just a nice motto, but it is really how you'll feel if you stay at the Timbrook Guesthouse!

    My wife and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary on 8/11/20. We do a trip every year for our anniversary and this year my wife decided she wanted to visit the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. So I planned a 2-day trip and while doing my research for a place to stay on 8/11, I happened upon The Timbrook Guesthouse. I will keep the review as short as possible because I love brevity but I make no promises. Jill, the owner, is super fantastic and a 10-star host. She puts forth a Brobdingnagian effort to make sure her guests are happy. If you stay at Timbrook, you will not be able to understand how she does it. No human could possibly do all of the things Jill does everyday to keep Timbrook running like a well-oiled machine. I think she may be a robot. Timbrook itself is the kind of house we'd live in forever if we didn't have 10 fleabaggy cats who love to ruin everything and drive us crazy. The house and the property are just amazing in every way. There are a lot of fun things to do in and around Columbus but you won't wanna leave the property. The house itself and our room were incredible. Everything was super clean, comfortable and welcoming, and we loved how it was decorated. And it's so quiet. The house is so quiet. I love quiet. Did I mention it was quiet? We got to meet KoKo, an awesome bird who loves to eat large nuts. Jill fed him as we watched and it was really a treat. We also got to meet Charlie, another awesome bird who can really voice his opinion. There are also a whole bunch of chickens and who doesn't love watching chickens scamper about. BREAKFAST was so many positive adjectives, I couldn't possibly list them all. A fruit cup that was akin to Ambrosia (which, if you don't know, is the food of the gods). And a hot meal that I ate slowly and savored every morsel. My wife is a trained chef, so one can imagine the cuisine i'm used to, and this was just crazy-delicious. Our only disappointment was that we could not stay longer. My wife and I met a very nice older couple at breakfast who said they were staying all week. We were so envious. We both agreed that when we come back to Columbus, we will stay at Timbrook. We got to see Puka the cat if only briefly right before we left. Maybe next time we visit, we can get closer to pet him but he was a little spooked and being cat owners ourselves, we totally understood. Our Teddy hides under the bed whenever people he doesn't know come over our house. His sister, Ruby, hides too. But Puka is gorgeous and count yourself lucky if you get to see him. Our experience was 10 stars. So if you plan on being in the Columbus area, make sure you do not miss this treasure. Tell Jill that Kevin and Carrie sent you!

    Beautiful presentation of breakfast. Added plus the breakfast was amazing!  They also offered 3 different kinds of juice

    I had the opportunity to stay here one night this week. I would definitely go again. The grounds are very beautiful. If you love flowers this is a must visit. I had the opportunity to swim in the pool and also use the hot tub. I loved that the pool offered different levels of depth. I love to tread water for exercise and most times I have to bend my legs because I'm so tall because the pool is never deep enough. This pool was able to meet my needs and I was able to tread without having to bend. I think the pool was 9 to 10 feet deep. It had ample shallow space as well. There was also stairs to get in the pool. They provided floats to fully enjoy your time in the pool. The pool and hot tub area was very relaxing to enjoy. The chairs and lounge chairs were comfortable and also provided shade for those that didn't want to be in the sun. The parrots were an added plus. I enjoyed their company. The breakfast was excellent and was served in the inviting sun room. Very beautiful! It was relaxing and peaceful. The signage was excellent. I had a great nights rest. The only thing I did not see was individual room temperature control but I didn't ask either so it could have been there I just didn't see it. The room I stayed in did not have curtains just shutters which I woke up to the brightness of the new day. But I didn't mind. It was a very peaceful room. They do provide robes and huge towels for the pool in your room which was an added plus. They provide bottled water in your room. In the snack area downstairs they had wonderful snickerdoodles. They do have a freezer and refrigerator in the snack area for guests to use. The hostess was very accommodating and helpful in everything and anything you may need. She had a kind attitude and a genuine caring for you while you were there. She was open to suggestions to making her place better. There was several rooms in the house that you could enjoy the beauty of the grounds. I would definitely come here again.

    Sunrise view on the East suite balcony! Comfy chairs and very spacious!

    Oh my goodness! The Timbrook Guesthouse is top notch! Immaculately clean. Visually gorgeous with unique collections throughout the property. The outside areas are pristine with landscaping that makes you feel relaxed in this vacation get-away paradise. Add the scrumptious breakfasts to the list of reasons to stay! We will be back!

    If I could give this hotel zero stars, I would. I honestly don't understand how it's still in…read morebusiness or why anyone would choose to stay here. The problems started before I even arrived. I had reserved a specific room, but because the hotel had flooding, they changed my accommodations without notifying me. That's the first red flag. When I checked in, they told me they would still be able to give me the room I originally booked. Great--I told them I was going to dinner with my daughter and would be back in a few hours. When we returned about three hours later, I was met by the same gentleman who had helped me earlier and a woman at the front desk. She informed me my room still wasn't ready, that I would not be getting the room I reserved after all, and told me that if I didn't like it, I could simply check out. That was red flag number two. Customer service was completely unacceptable. I decided to give them 10 minutes while I looked for another hotel. Shortly afterward, a housekeeper came and let me know my room was finally ready. Walking to the room should have been my warning. The elevator smelled terrible, and the seventh-floor hallway had a strong odor of mildew mixed with body odor. Unfortunately, it only got worse. As soon as I entered the room, I realized the carpet near the entrance was soaking wet. The room itself had a musty smell and looked extremely worn and outdated. The final straw came when I went to brush my teeth and discovered there was no running water in the room. At that point, I packed my belongings, went back to the front desk, and spoke with a gentleman named Christopher. He offered little help and showed no urgency in resolving the situation. I immediately checked out and moved to the Embassy Suites by Hilton, where my stay was a complete improvement. I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone. Between the poor communication, rude customer service, foul odors, water damage, lack of running water, and overall condition of the property, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had.This version is firm, factual, and detailed, which tends to make reviews more credible and useful to other travelers.

    Bad honest reviews , I should have listened. IHG pulled their flagship for this hotel, willing to…read morebet because they are not under their umbrella. As a former IHG DOS and GM, I highly recommend avoiding this hotel. An audit needs done asap on this location. I left and paid 100 extra at the Renaissance 5 min down the road, wow...Night and Day, actually felt a breath of relief and I booked third party. DO NOT STAY HERE. This is definitely purchased and ran down under and LOST their flagship, they ain't even part of IHG, hmm wonder why? Because it's nasty here, this is just another operation that will just get as much money as they can and not put the money where it's needed. You might as well stay at a red roof inn or hourly motel, in six months I'd be surprised if their prices are lowered. This is a 2 star hotel at best. Cleaning was completely sub par, hair in bathtub and when I pulled out the couch, it had crumbs everywhere, nasty on the floor. Upon parking, driveways has pot holes and glass everywhere, there were a few parked vehicles up to no good, 3 down the way were parked and using a coat hanger to open a car door , another was parked sideways rolling one. Loud music in parking lot like a block party. Didn't want to leave my vehicle behind. First I paid extra for a room for Two Double Beds. It was a week in advance, and plenty of rooms, specifically did not want a sofa bed. Upon arrival I was told there are no rooms with two beds, then get to room, no sheets or even pillows for the sofa bed in the room, dirty sheets outside my door in hallway and elevator is packed with migrated workers, elevators and hallways are literally doused with marijuana smell and the front office manager wouldn' refund my stay, instead I complained to my third party and they indeed refunded my stay.
