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.

I selected this lodging because it is literally the only place to stay in Ravenna, and because I like antiques. This B&B exceeded my expectations. It is lovely, comfortable, warm and quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful. I had fun exploring the rooms and taking in all the antique furniture and art and collectibles. It has clearly been renovated recently (bathroom) and it's well-maintained, with period details. It was very clean. I loved the plants in the common rooms too. My only regret was that it was too cold to enjoy the beautiful porches. I will return to enjoy them, in the future. Highly recommend this place!

A classic traditional B&B Inn; Victorian building with well-appointed, period-style architecture and decor, and an interesting history; quiet and restful, within blocks of downtown Ravenna. Bob Walker, the outstanding and friendly proprietor, keeps the dining room well-stocked with breakfast foods, drinks and all-day snacks. The Inn is well worth the stay, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

A beautiful bed and breakfast! The owner is in the process of upgrading and replacing the roof and working on things...but it is still so beautiful! The antiques and just the ambiance is so warming. Very quiet...i loved it! Perfect stop for me on my way to visit family and friends! Highly recommend!!!
