Group Bookings

The Lion and the Rose is a great place to hold a family reunion or to house a wedding party. Group use of the property provides your party with greater freedom to relax, socialize, and customize their stay. Our experience is that groups spend more time together socializing in the house, have more special service requests and require more clean-up than individual guests.
The Basics:

Group Bookings apply to parties occupying 4 or more rooms. (Depending on the nature of the Group Booking, all 7 guest rooms may need to be rented even though only 4, 5 or 6 of the guest rooms are used.)

House normally sleeps 13 in seven guest rooms (with up to 16 possible).

Rates inlcude full 2-course breakfast for resident guests.
Pricing:

Standard Room Rates plus 12.5% Hotel Tax plus 15% standard gratuity.

Additional $100 per night extra group use service charge may apply depending on the nature of the booking.

Gift cards and gift certificates cannot be used for group bookings.

AAA, AARP, single-person and other discounts do not apply.
Other Factors:

Friday or Saturday night bookings require 2 night minimum.

$30/night/guest service charge for more than 13 guests.

Special Events for resident or non-resident guests can be arranged for an additional charge.

Only children under 1 year of age or 10 years and older can be accomodated.

The kitchen cannot be used by guests to prepare food. There is a small guest refrigerator for storing a bottle or two of wine and "left overs" or "take out" food.

"Absolutely flawless. My family used this B&B as headquarters for a wedding in Portland. It is terrific in every way -- even Aunt Berta said so! The innkeepers are fine, friendly individuals it is a pleasure to get to know, and they strive constantly to make your stay a perfect one. The home is beautifully decorated, a Victorian gem, and breakfasts are delicious, varied, more than plentiful, and made and served with great care. Recommended most highly." Dan Pellegrin (White Plains, NY)
