Chez Lyndon Manor

This place is amazing Great food and service I loved the atmosphere Definitely will be going back

Why 4 stars? Because the Lyndon House was a fun way to shake things up. --- --- ---I travel to Lexington about 4 times a year, and I've made it a fun goal to stay at a different hotel for each visit. You might even say *I'm sleeping my way around Lexington!* Is that a good slogan?The Lyndon House feels like it's probably about the age of my great grandmother, if she were still with us. In Florida, where I live, historical buildings do not run rampant, so it's always kind of neat to take in that kind of ambiance. However, if sleek/modern/new is more your flavor, then you might want to look elsewhere. I'd definitely prefer something modernized, but this was a fun change of pace.The parking lot in the back of the building is essentially off of an alley. I seriously don't even know if I was driving the right direction down the alley, as I didn't see any signs marked anywhere. And because the alley is so narrow, parking properly between the lines can be a bit of a challenge. I had a mid-sized vehicle, so if you're cruising down in a Hummer, I'd recommend parking in the street nearby, and not even messing with the alley.The main entrance door has a key pad and your room is opened with an *actual* physical key. I found this to be fascinating, though thinking back, it's really not very odd for a simple B&B to not pay for the device that allows for keycard entry on each room.The room is decor fits the theme of the home - classic. The bed is extremely comfortable with about 10 pillows, which is the key to my heart. There's an individual thermostat in the room, but I'm not sure how accurate it is, or how quickly it reacts to adjustments. It was 22 degrees outside during my stay, and I'm not sure my feet ever warmed up. Then again, I don't see a lot of 22 degree nights, so maybe that's just a way of life.Unfortunately, my stay was so brief that I did not have the pleasure of taking advantage of the "breakfast" portion of the bed & breakfast. Like a zombie, I woke up in the morning, and was a ghost before breakfast was available. I almost forgot the best part - the world's most delicious mints are available at the check-in counter. Please continue having those until the end of time.

Will definitely be back to stay again! It was beautiful older rustic type scene that was up to date clean and beautiful! Everything is kept neatly and you feel at home.. Anton had fruits, pastries, cake and juices ready to snack on while we waited on our freshly cooked breakfast! (Which was fabulous) I would recommend this place to everyone!! It's a nice quiet place to get away and enjoy a beautiful town! I can not say enough great things about this place!!!

Absolutely recommend this place for a nice visit to Lexington! The owner and innkeeper was so warm and kind, and happy to give us suggestions on great things to do and places to see around Lexington. Breakfast (sundried tomato frittata, bacon, muffins and breads, etc.) was delicious.The location was the biggest perk for me--we parked our car on Friday afternoon, and didn't move it until we left at the end of the weekend. It's an easy walk to multiple neighborhoods, restaurants, breweries, and distilleries.

Our stay was great here. We had to leave before breakfast for a trip to Columbus, but Anton was already up and was really kind to cook us some really tasty mushrooms and eggs. Thanks again!

AMAZING SPECTACULAR BEST TRAVEL EXPERIENCE EVERI have never been happier or more ecstatic to write the first review of a place. Anton, the inn keeper here, is fantastic, and so incredibly accommodating. The slogan here of having southern hospitality at its finest is definitely true. My boyfriend and I have never felt more warmly welcome. There is parking here, leading to the backyard and steps up to this almost magical old victorian style house, completely made of brick. There are only a few rooms in this bed and breakfast, but each one is named after something famous in Lexington--Shaker Suite (our room) named after the Shaker Village, and the Keeneland Room named after the famous racetrack there for examples.The whole B&B is gorgeous inside. Everything is clean and neat and just makes you feel at home, especially in comparison to any hotel you may have stayed in. Anton escorts you to your room, and there is a TV and cable and DVD player in each room and your own bathroom, and he even is nice enough to have a selection of DVDs for you to borrow. The rooms are nice in size, and there is free wireless, and free snacks and drinks throughout the day. The bedrooms have enough closet and drawer space too for your clothes, and good sized bathrooms, and everything everywhere is decorated nicely, all with the old Victorian feel. Classic, just classic.We stayed here for Valentine's day so there was a room special complete with roses a gift certificate for dinner and a bottle of champagne, and breakfast in bed!! It was perfect. Everything about it. Anton is a great chef and we stayed here two nights and each day that breakfast he made was the best start to our day complete with blueberry pancakes, bacon, biscuits, fruit, coffee, tea, orange juice, hash browns, eggs, pastries......wow, just wow. It is a social place as well, and everyone else who stayed here (they were there for a family reunion) and they were all very nice and talkative, and that is how a bed and breakfast should be. I could not have stayed in a better location--near downtown, within walking distance to plenty of places...And with the best inn keeper ever. He even was nice enough to drive us to the airport at the end of our visit!!! Honestly, staying at this bed and breakfast was the highlight of my trip to lexington, and if I ever go back and if any of you go to visit, this should be your number one destination. THANKS, ANTON!!!!

I was a bit hesitant at first about the Lyndon House. I had to drive through a pretty shady neighborhood to get to the property, however once I arrived I was pleasantly surprised!The B&B is located a short walk from downtown Lexington, and is close to both the convention center and the university. Had the weather not been so cold while I was there I really would have ventured out to see the area.All that being said, my stay was fantastic. Anton made my entire family (all 17 of us!) feel incredibly welcome, and the house itself is not only beautiful, but spacious. I stayed in the only room on the third floor, which left me with alot of privacy - which was nice from time to time after being around all that family! There are seven rooms total and a variety of areas downstairs, including a really cute sun room - so there's plenty of places to lounge.Breakfast each morning was served on our schedule, which was nice because most of us are not early risers - and there was plenty of choices, and lots of hot tea (which was important to me because I came down with a cold while I was there).I would definitely try the Lyndon House again, in warmer temperatures so that I could really sightsee in and around Lexington.

Please see photos. I had decided to not post anymore comments on this property after getting a refund for our stay but after reading the attack on me by the owner of this property on another review site chose to make sure I justifiably demonized" this property on every media source I can find. They say a picture speaks 1000 words so see my 9 pics please. I posted photos of our stay at this property showing the properties blatant neglect to only be attacked personally by the owner saying i'm a unhappy person. I write tons of wonderful reviews but sadly this property is the worst B&B I have ever stayed in. I am a very happy person but I will not stand for being victimized with an experience such as this. Once again all corroborated by the photos. Pay close attention to the one of the window seal outside our bathroom. From no one being at the property upon our arrival or for the whole first day to the neighborhood being homeless street wanderers and scary this place reeks of Bates motel. Speaking of reeks. The room had a musty smell as well as the bed. The A/C didn't work and The reply I receive to that is I could not operate the thermostat properly. I own a multi million dollar air conditioning company and I know how to use thermostats. I guess I didn't know how to screw the faucet back onto the tub either as When we arrived it was laying on the back of the toilet. Parking is in the alley and the neighborhood is a homeless haven. We were approached numerous times during our stay. Refund or not the experience was terrible and my time away from work I desire to be extremely enjoyable at places which will leave wonderful memories in my head and not a nightmare to recall. I like spending money on high end B&Bs and in fact pay as much as one thousand a night for wow experiences. This one was definitely a wow. again look at photos. Glad to see other people are reading my reviews on this property on other sites. I've attached a photo of that report from another site as well. I established this yelp account today for this reason but plan on using it as a tool in the future as well.

Beware deceptive business practice! I booked a room that was listed as refundable if canceled at least 48 hours in advance. My plans changed and I cancelled the reservation with 5 days notice, and was shocked to discover that the proprietor charges a "10% restocking fee," which was $21. This was not disclosed at the time I made the online booking, although apparently is buried deep within the fine print that nobody ever reads. I reached out to the owner, who responded "you made an online reservation and doing so you click through my system, which said you read and understood all the policies and accepted the terms so this is a moot point so move on."If this is the owner's idea of customer service, I suggest avoiding this property.

During our stay we had items missing out of our room and witnessed random people in the house at all hours of the night. We heard yelling and honestly felt creeped out.
