Gorgeous farmhouse with beautiful rooms.   However the owner is snippy and rude.  Made us feel unwelcome. Would respond hashly to friendly questions.  Check in was 1 and no one was available until 6, without an apology.  Would recommend only to see the animals.

Snippy Owner

We were in town to visit family. Had found the bed & breakfast on the Internet. The property looked as though it was a nice place to stay. The price was excellent compared to the hotels in the area.

When we arrived late at midnight, the owner was waiting for us with the porch light on.   We were welcomed & shown our room which was on the 1st floor off of the dining room. It had a king bed nicely made, couch, chair dresser & flat screen TV. The bathroom was ensuite. 

Each morning all the guests gathered around the table to chat & the owner prepared a nice breakfast. Fresh fruit to start, then bacon, home fries, eggs & the main staple chosen for the day. One day we had a delicious pancake. 

The house had a nice wrap around porch that looked out over the property. This is a working farm, so any type of animal you can see. We particularly like the small goat & the rooster, that will wake you up in the morning. There was also a peacock that joined with the wake up morning call. 

We thoroughly enjoyed just sitting around in the morning enjoying all of natures beauty & the farm. You can't help but fall in love with this B&B.

If you are in the area, I highly recommend you consider a night or two here. 

Excellent Accommodations

I stayed with my fiancé at this quaint little farm last summer in July when we were attending a good friend's wedding.  The first thing we noticed was the warmth of our hostess.  A lady who single handedly runs this establishment, our hostess was very helpful in making sure that we settle in as smoothly and comfortably as possible.  Apart from that she was also a wonderful cook who made us delicious breakfasts.  The house itself was quaint, with Victorian era furnishings scattered throughout.  Our bedroom, on the second floor, was large and comfortable.  The drawing room on the ground floor was well appointed with antique furniture and old books.  And did I mention the farm animals?  The rooster, hens, horses, the dogs...they added so much life to the place!  Not to mention there was an alpaca and two peacocks - one never expects to see such creatures here in this part of the world!  They added a slight air of surrealism to the farm.  The slope across the front yard was also part of the property, and taking a nice, brisk stroll there was a pleasant experience. All in all, we were both very satisfied with our stay, and wanted to thank our hostess for being so warm, gracious and helpful.

Full of character and charm

We recently reserved three rooms at Shamrock Farms Bed and Breakfast in Lapeer County after viewing their professionally written website with lovely photos. Unfortunately, this place was not at all as it was represented in it’s web site. To enter the home, we walked across the porch which was occupied by a couple chickens. At first glance this was charming, until we noticed chicken feces everywhere. So anyone entering the home effectively brought this waste into the dining room and throughout the building. Once we entered into the home we were hit with the intense, putrid odor of animal urine.  The odor was so strong that there were times when our eyes were affected. One of the women in our party was nauseous throughout our stay. I don't know why we didn't walk out right then and there! Later, while chatting with the owner over the baby gate separating us from her private living space,  we saw that there were at least six dogs, two cats and a goat inhabiting the kitchen area. There were dog pee pads on the floor in this same area. No wonder the odor was so strong!  Grant it, the owner was busy but there was a definite lack of hospitality on her part. Most B & B's give you access to cold water, coffee, tea, pop, snacks to make you feel at home.  This is not so at the Shamrock Farms.  We did not have access to the kitchen. Luckily we packed bottled water for the trip as there were not even glasses in our rooms if we wanted or needed them. We did receive glasses after asking for them, only to find them scratched up and mismatched.  (We washed them before using as we felt that they were not clean.)  Maybe it was the smell permeating the house that made us feel this way?  The web site boasts “Before retiring for the evening you'll be treated to wine and appetizers with the promise of a delicious complimentary breakfast in the morning.” Not that we would have eaten the appetizer, but there was no mention of this complimentary snack.  There was a basket of teas on display but, again, we didn’t have access to the kitchen for water and cups. In the morning it was over an hour before we were offered coffee (we were unable to find our inn keeper). When the coffee was finally served there wasn’t creamer available for awhile. Then we didn’t even have spoons to stir in our creamer. After our breakfast was served we noticed that our hostess was wearing the same sweatshirt that she had on the evening before when she was holding a dog and then a sick goat (Yes, a sick goat) close to her chest. None of us could eat. Between the odor and the ever present animal fur, the first floor felt very unsanitary.
We specifically requested a first floor room with handicap capabilities. We found this room, as all the other bedrooms, to be beautifully decorated. However, the bed was a traditional Victorian style (approximately 3 ½ feet high), hardly acceptable for a person who requires a handicap room. When we pointed this out to Maureen, our hostess, she offered no assistance whatsoever (step stool, box, etc). Getting our 87 year old mother into bed that night was a challenge, to say the least.
As we reflect on our stay, we keep asking ourselves, "Why did we stay?"  The answer to that question may be that we were concerned about hurting our hostess' feelings, we were expecting to hear a plausible excuse and we were hoping that the situation was a fluke and our circumstances would improve.  As we look back, we know that we should have left.  Please be forewarned.

Guests should not be invited into this home

Warm and welcoming, cozy and comfortable.  This B&B is nicely kept and offers a unique farm setting just minutes from shopping and good eats.  We totally enjoyed petting the animals and holding sweet Sally the goat.  Plenty of room and privacy... we had a king sized bed that was soooo toasty warm and comfortable.  Only drawback was no shelf in the shower to put your shower items on and no hand-held sprayer which we prefer.  The breakfast was delightful and more than we could eat.  Maureen took very good care of us and we look forward to visiting again in the future.  I give this B&B a solid 4-Star rating and would rank it above most hotel stays.
