The English Inn is a stunning Italianate-style Victorian built in 1885 by Henry Bash. Conveniently located just a few blocks from the Uptown Historic District, the grand house sits on large private grounds surrounded by beautiful gardens with holly trees that Henry planted himself. Set far back from the street, it is quiet & peaceful. We are within one short mile of every great thing Port Townsend has to offer!
As you walk down the path, enjoy a wonderful view toward the west with the Olympic Mountains & stunning sunsets. As soon as you walk in the front door, you are greeted by the warmth & welcoming atmosphere which will surround your stay with us.
As you enter the front door with leaded glass design you are greeted by a long impressive grand staircase. The Parlor to the right of the entry is a large inviting room with 14 foot ceilings and fireplace. The magnificent wallpaper border is original and accented by stunning green walls, gorgeous fireplace mantle and beautiful antiques. Enjoy relaxing by the fire with an afternoon cup of tea, or a nice glass of wine with friends in the evening. The large bay window with window seat overlooks the beautiful garden and the Olympic Mountains and is a great spot to enjoy a good book. A wonderful selection of music is available to play while you are enjoying this warm welcoming room.
Breakfast is an affair not to be missed at The English Inn!
The formal dining room off the Parlor is spacious and elegantly decorated. Breakfast is served each morning at 9:00, with fine linens and antique china. The English Inn serves a full delectable breakfast complete with juices, fresh fruits, and hot entrees. You may experience a Traditional English Breakfast with the house specialty 'Toad in the Hole' with grilled potatoes, mushrooms, & tomatoes. Share an intimate meal with your sweetie, or a great laugh & conversation with new friends.
The garden at the Inn contains a gazebo where you can sit and enjoy a lovely view & glass of wine. We have also recently added a relaxing sundeck for socializing. The gardens are constantly changing; gardening is a passion of the innowners (well, the wife's) & she is always working on various projects in the gardens to restore the gardens back to their original splendor.
Your hosts, Jennifer & Martin MacGillonie, have been enjoying the guests of The English Inn for over 7 years, and love every minute of it. Martin is originally from Maidenhead, outside of London. He's been in the US since 1984. Jennifer was born & raised in Seattle, and met Martin thru her business 15 years ago, & they have been happily married for 9 years. They had been living in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle with their son Ryan. Martin was in the car business and Jennifer had an accounting & tax practice. They took these skills, along with Jennifer's love of gardening & cooking, Martin's wicked sense of humor, and both their love of history & all things British to make a unique Bed & Breakfast.
