I had the 7 best consecutive sleeps of my past 25 years at the Cecil Bacon Manor. That—in itself—is an outstanding review! (My sleeps are highly valued.) 

Unlike many guests, my spouse and I stayed for an entire week. So it's fair to say we saw a larger sampling of the Cecil's offerings... and this was a good thing. We had seven delicious breakfasts, which included proteins, fruits, yogurt, carbohydrates, juice, tea and coffee. (I am a diabetic, so I care about these things.) Though our host, David, offered to prepare something special for me, it truly wasn't necessary. And our breakfasts—almost every day—were substantial enough to get  us through the majority of the day without the necessity of "topping up." 

As I implied in my title, the Cecil Bacon is an old building. It was first constructed in 1909, and although it has been renovated and updated since then, many parts of the building are relatively aged. This means that the floors (beautiful hardwood) creak when they are walked on. Doors sometimes close a bit louder you expect. Lighting is adequate, but not new. Plumbing gets the job done perfectly, but does not look sparkly new. None of this made any difference to us. But if you are looking for a brand new boutique B&B where everything still has that "new B&B sparkle," this may not be the place for you. (We did not notice any voices coming from other rooms at any time.)

The Cecil Bacon has numerous spaces to enjoy. There is a library (separate room) with comfy seating and shelves of books. There is a front room with more comfy seating and lots of fresh air. If you prefer to sit outside, there is a large deck, a courtyard, and several smaller outdoor seating areas. On of our days in Seattle, se spent the entire day at the manor. It was lovely.

Breakfast is served in the dining room, but if you prefer not to eat at the large breakfast table (it seats about 12–14, I think), then there are at least two other areas with tables set for breakfast away from the larger group.

We were in the "Garden" room, in the basement. (The basement has tall ceilings and good windows, so don't picture something dark and basementy.) Our mattresses—two beds in our room—were wonderful. The bedding was comfortable and sufficient. A bonus during our visit that the basement stayed wonderully cool during the 95 degree heat wave!

To sum up, we would happily stay at the Cecil Bacon Manor again. Many thanks to David and his family! David... keep caring about people the way you do.

An elderly and utterly charming B&B

Comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly palatial B&B in an established well-off neighbourhood. But note. This is a B&B, albeit quite a large one with good facilities, not a hotel. In some ways it means it's better. There are no petty restrictions about what you can bring in. On the other hand, there's no bar or swimming pool; no bell-hop. There's no menu for breakfast either. David rings the changes each day. You won't be asked to eat what you don't like, but it will be what it is. I liked that. Overall, I felt I was a guest in a friend's home. If that's what you'd like, book soon!

High standard B&B with good connections to downtown and parking

This is a quirky little place in a fairly quiet suburb - although the planes go overhead from about 4am! The location was good - near to train/tram into main town, and it is within walking distance of a few restaurants. We walked back from The Smith Tower - which was about an hour but do-able if you're fairly fit.
We had one of the basement rooms and it was very dark, and a little tired looking. The bed was quite uncomfortable and there were other people's hair in the bathroom which is always gross.
Breakfast was a little odd - and this is not the place to stay if you are vegetarian/vegan as the only option was some cashew nut yoghurt and dry toast (no jam or anything). It is served family style in one sitting, which was lovely chatting to the other guests, but did mean our day started later than we would have liked. 
On the whole it was reasonably priced and reasonably located but a little disappointing.

Reasonably priced and located but a little disappointing.

Grandma’s house in a very pretty location 
Didn’t like the room - too much stuff 
The bathroom was super tiny and we were not warned about it
Do not book a Clipper room
I just wanted to get out to spend less time inside a dark weird room
Breakfast was meh and communal dining area is not for everyone 
Stay elsewhere 

Quaint, quirky and friendly. Wonderful place to stay, felt like sharing someone's happy and lovely home. We would happily stay again. Plenty  of bars, restaurants a lovely park only a short walk away.
