The English House Traditional Tea
Room and Inn
is a beacon of a bygone Victorian Era where life flows at a slower pace. Take time to yourself to relax and unwind in a setting that is as close to historical as one can get. This 1893 Victorian was once the original "mansion" of Breda and was the greatest showplace in the area in its day.

The Inn promotes an old-fashioned way of life, and does not have any television sets. However for business travelers and meeting purposes we do offer wi-fi. There is a front porch on which to repose, or a side pergola where one can sit and sip lemonade. During the summer the Victorian Gardens are in full bloom and the smell of the old Linden tree and columbine fill the air. The front parlor is an excellent place to curl up and read a book or have a chat by the fireplace during the wintertime.

Spend the morning reading the newspaper over coffee on the porch and take a brisk walk around town. Spend the afternoon on a bike ride using one of our several guest bikes or breathe in the fresh air while playing 9 holes of golf. Forget about the traffic and the hustle and bustle of modern living. Be completely comfortable, be utterly pampered, and let The Inn show you the down-to-earth old-fashioned hospitality for which Iowans are known.
