Christmas in Plymouth
The house was warm and inviting, plenty of spaces for lots of adults to spread out, play games, and eat all together. The hot tub was an added bonus during a cold week. Steps to the charming downtown and pretty view in the back to the brook.

Great, with a few notes to pass along.
This house is beautiful and historic, plenty of room. Love the beauty of the crooked floors, slightly off walls and hallways! Really authentic. Missed the opportunity to open any windows in the house any some of the furniture needs to be looked after. As many of the chairs are broken. We didn’t have the privilege of using the hot tub or the deck because we had a rainy weekend but this house salvaged our entire family reunion.thank you so much.

Fun filled and exploratory
The house was perfect for our large gang. We could walk to so many different locales, historical/cultural/essential. We biked easily over to Long Beach and enjoyed the trails that take off from behind the house. We love to cook and felt very well supplied by what’s available in the kitchen! The home is comfortable, cool, clean and safe for our littlest children.

Fun long weekend
The house is in a great location, lots of comfy beds and well equipped. It was as described for sure. Our only issue was that we contacted the owner after arrival because one of the doors would not unlock and this is a major safety hazard. He took awhile to reply, when he did he did not understand what I was telling him and when I tried to explain and ask about it again, we did not hear back. Hoping they fix the front door dead bolt- as this is a huge safety issue in case of fire!

Highly recommend Harlow Bishop House
Our family group of 10 had a wonderful stay at the Harlow House. Plenty of space, very comfortable beds, very clean. The upstairs king BR shares a hall bathroom with one of the queen BRs. The other upstairs queen has it's own bathroom. The main level queen BR accesses the common 1/2 bath on that floor. The bunk rooms downstairs would have accommodated several more easily and has the 3rd full bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped - so easy to be able to fix your own breakfasts and we cooked in 2 nights out of 3. Easy walk to the historic Plymouth waterfront, bagels/delis/cafe's, seafood shacks. Good WIFI. The hot tub and back patio space was a bonus. FYI, Woods Seafood on the public wharf has great fried seafood to eat in/ take out, but also has an excellent seafood market. We grilled fresh swordfish one night and ordered pre-steamed/ pre-cracked lobsters for another night. Scott was very responsive to our questions. We would certainly come back.

Wedding weekend!
My son and my amazing daughter in law were married on Labor Day weekend 2023. We almost filled the house. Having grown up in New England I can say that this house is an excellent representation of a first period home. It is old. The floors are sloped. It is quirky, there are nooks and crannies, there is character. Rob T. was correct the bed on the main floor is soft. All other beds are medium bordering on firm. We had a room swap on the second night, one couple found the second floor bed too firm and the guest found the soft bed too soft. After the swap all were very satisfied with their sleep. We had a great time around the fire pit, in the hot tub and dinners on the deck. We enjoyed meandering on the path down to the mill stream and watching the people walk by. We walked to Plymouth center and enjoyed exploring the beach.
