Room Descriptions

Dedicated to the musical history of the patriarch of the Griffin family, this room has been recently decorated with plush, martini colored wall to wall carpeting, rose colored walls with an intricate patterned border. The windows facing east and south provide views of the seasoned gardens and refreshing, cross ventilation. The bed is a king size with a draped, half-canopy and a ceiling fan provides just the right atmosphere. A seating area, (with Grand-pop Griffins favorite rocker) an antique table, reading lamp and an immitation lighted fireplace contribute to the comfort of this room. Memorbilia from Father Griffins musical career also adorn walls and dresser tops. Birdseye maple drawers and a large closet allow for plenty of storage while a large, two-seater shower and a pedestal sink complete the setting.

The Lancastrian Room:
Is a mini-suite, having its own corridor
linking the w.c. and
the
original
bathroom which contains a rose stenciled, claw leg tub with shower, a
victorian
marble sink with silver fittings, original hand worked half panels of
douglas
fir, and a beautifully restored antique wash stand. The bedroom has
views
of the well established gardens to the south, and to the west is our
very
own creek, providing a gentle suite to send you off to sleep. The bed
is
a Queen size, and is an exquisite example of Victorian craftsmanship in
hand carved, burled walnut. The antique oak drawers have been restored
to their original beauty, and the carpet is of a rich burgundy color
while
the
walls are a bold, sea green. A lighted ceiling fan with night light and
picture rails displaying scenes of Victorian Lancashire, in England
complete
the setting of this most desired room.
