We have been in Kent three times the past year and always stay at the Rocking horse. We love its vintage charm and beautiful quaint neighborhood. Bob is extremely thoughtful with all the extras he provides. We will be back.

My wife and I are both retired and had to travel from out-of-state a few weeks ago to Ravenna for a funeral and looked for a nice place to stay for two nights. The Rocking Horse Inn looked OK and so we rented it. I was a bit curious about the owner's statement that all reservations were non-refundable "for any reason." Really, for "any reason?" Our reservation asked if there were any "requests," and we only had one: We wrote that my wife has airborne allergies and cannot be around "any" scented cleaners or fragrances (like Febreze), etc. To our dismay, when we arrived the entire 1st floor was filled with fragrances (candles, scented outlets, etc.). When we went up to our room it was even worse, our whole room reeked. I tried to open the windows, but they were completely sealed shut by old paint - which I do believe is a Safety Code Violation! Also, it is interesting that many old homes (like the Rocking Horse) might use heavy fragrances to cover over mold or mildew toxins. For many, scents are enjoyable, but for many others they are toxic: https://seetheair.org/2024/05/09/beyond-the-pleasant-smell-the-hidden-dangers-of-air-fresheners-in-your-home/ We spoke with the owner and he told us that the only thing he did was to remove 2 candles from our room the night before we came, like that would help. We never received another return phone call or text, although we tried 5x. We recommend AVOIDING the Rocking Horse Inn!!!

Charming.
Me and my daughter stayed for the night after seeing the Orchestra play at Blossom. We were charmed by the house and all its character. The Host was very helpful and we enjoyed the array of snacks and drinks. We were also impressed with how comfortable the bed was. We will be back!

This was our first experience with a B&B. The home was under renovation but everything was very clean and organized. Bob, our host, was nothing short of exceptional. The room was very comfortable. Furnishings were outstanding and kept in line with the 1875 original construction of the property. We would Highly Recommend staying at this property if you have the chance. If given the opportunity we would gladly stay here again.

Lovingly restored with lots of Victorian touches. Excellent breakfast, and snacks to take away. Very good value. The owner was on away, but his sister was friendly and helpful. However, the quality of the rooms varies, and some work to the property is needed. Avoid the Elizabeth room until the ceiling and door are repaired.

Wwhere’s the breakfast?
Beautify house, very nice room. But self service everything. I never saw the innkeeper or any staff. And a B&Bn with no cooked breakfast is not a B&B.

My first impression was that I went to the wrong address. Nothing like the advertising. Weeds, peeling paint. Inside, ragged frayed towels and filthy blankets. We didn’t stay one night. When I asked to be reimbursed for the second and third night, I was told that was impossible because I had prepaid.
