Unique stay. We enjoyed it. Of note, no reception past 7p. We didnt realize enough bath towels were provided until after 7p and therefore nothing could be done. The appliance with usb charging capability didnt work. I mentioned this to the manager in the am but he dodnt seem to care.

Housekeeping not up to par, dusty, bathroom floor not mopped, ancient upholstery in room and public area lumpy, felt springs, not comfortable. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The B&B does not include breakfast! Breakfast and dining pricey and exotic, so not used. We are not walkers, but area very walkable. Knowledge of off season closures a problem.

Old world charm - this beautiful Victorian mansion is the perfect remedy for the sterile and soulless beige.

Typical historical bed and breakfast - our room was large and the bed was comfortable. Appreciated the extras like bottled water and a log for the fireplace. The decor was period appropriate and well done but the room would benefit from a refresh of things like the shower and the carpet, especially at this price point.

Quiet and safe area. Beautiful old home. The furnishings were quit old but in excellent condition. The home was original, nothing in the architecture was compromised.

Stay was overall good, but there was not enough off-street parking for everyone and Bennington does not allow overnight street parking in the winter.

Charming Inn with jacuzzi
Beautiful inn in Bennington VT. Gracious host/ innkeeper made sure we were well taken care of and met our every need. Lovely breakfast in their formal dining room. We even celebrated the New Year with the owner and friends with fondue and drinks in the parlor. Old fashion inn with modern amenities including jacuzzi n coffee maker. We will be back!
