the lack of breakfast during the week is downright ludicrous at a B&B, as was the third floor room crammed under a sloping roof, not to mention the non-existent shower curtain! As a guest, i expected a complimentary snack or at least some decorum from the host—no such luck! i almost gave a good review, but just couldn’t.

gorgeous furniture in the common areas creates a homey vibe. the shower setup is inconvenient.

The charming decor made my stay wonderful, though parking was a bit challenging.

Charming decor in every room lovely wine on the balcony with a breathtaking view of Dubuque worth every moment. Staff were accommodating and friendly. The cozy garden was perfect for relaxing in the afternoons 🌸

A bit tricky navigating the stairs especially with luggage and the shower setup could be improved, a curtain would help a lot.

This place suits me perfectly with amenities like free wi-fi, air conditioning, and a shared kitchen. The staff helped me find transport on my first stay, and Simon's warm welcome made a lasting impression. Highly recommend it!

I had a good experience at Hancock House, a treasure of history with its fine views across Dubuque. The picturesque setting was complemented by comfortable bedding and the charm of the antique decor. Breakfast held unexpected culinary delights that made my mornings good. A minor inconvenience, though, was navigating the steep stairs with my luggage. Regardless, I'd recommend this gem!

The ambiance is charming with well-preserved historic decor that adds character to every corner. Enjoyable evenings can be had sipping wine on the inviting front porch, offering a picturesque view of the surrounding landscape.

Getting to a room on the third floor could be a hassle, especially if you’ve got more than a small bag to carry. The absence of a shower curtain in the bath made the setup a bit uncomfortable, and parking options around here might require some cautious maneuvering due to the hilly roads.

The Hancock House Bed & Breakfast Inn is beautifully restored, with charming period furnishings that create a welcoming atmosphere, making it easy for seniors like myself to relax and enjoy the stunning views of Dubuque and the Mississippi River.

More accessible common areas for seniors would be helpful.

Charming Stay with Room for Improvement

A beautiful Victorian setting with fantastic views. Simon served delicious breakfasts, but I was disappointed by the lack of breakfast on weekdays. Navigating the stairs can be a challenge, especially with luggage. I recommend calling ahead to confirm check-in details.

Staying in the Train Room was a unique experience with charming historic decor and great views. The shower setup lacked a curtain, which made it a bit inconvenient. Overall, Simon was welcoming and shared interesting stories about the place.

A delightful historical escape

Our stay was filled with unique charm, as we enjoyed the well-preserved Victorian ambiance, complete with delightful conversations over breakfast. The luxurious Train Room made us feel right at home.
