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.

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!

The house was built in 1887, so it is old with lots of character. The floors and stairs creak, but for us, that adds to the experience. The decor is original to the time period. We were lucky enough to be here while an amazing pianist played for the evening. Beautiful

The Inn is beautiful and the room we were given (Jim Dandy Suite) was very nice but the bathroom for that room is terrible! The sink had a large crack and the drain stopper didn’t work. The stand-alone shower was very very small & the shower head was mostly clogged so the water didn’t flow thru well. The toilet was so low to the floor that you need to grab onto the nearest door frame to pull yourself up off of the toilet seat. And the sink and counter were also very low. I’m 5’8” and had to bend very far to use the sink and toilet. And the toilet tank was loose and moved a few inches left and right as if it were not even attached. All in all I would give the Inn and room a 9/10 but the room’s bathroom facilities a 1/10. It really was hard to use the toilet, shower and sink.

It was a historic beautiful property! The room was spacious and nice! The greeter lady was nice and accommodating and she gave us a tour of a property. Inside of the room there were nice touches all throughout like complementary nice glass water bottles and toiletries. It's location was very convenient in a walking distance to the shops and restaurants. The breakfast was very good and it was served promptly. We would recommend this place to our friends.

The house was spectacular! Built in the late 1800’s. Antique furniture throughout but still had an adequate number of plugs to charge our electronics. Breakfast consisted of waffles with mixed fruit on top. Delicious! Would definitely stay here again.

This Victorian style B & B house was a nice, quiet, authentic experience as we visited Bennington. As a couple, we enjoyed one of nicer suites located in a separate building. The family owned and operated staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was unique and special (ie) fresh fruit, Belgium waffles served with Vermont maple syrup, etc. It was a treat!!! Highly recommend if you are looking for something special, authentic and unique.

Beautiful old mansion. Built in 1887. Lovely staff, very quiet neighborhood, big front porch for morning coffee and paper. It’s exactly halfway between Western New York and Maine. Perfect stopover between the two. Exactly what we wanted. Love it.

We totally enjoyed our 3 night stay at South Shire. The Sleigh room was wonderful...quiet, clean, roomy, and cozy! The bed was extremely comfortable, and any of our requests were met immediately with a smile. Joe's breakfasts were a dream and the perfect way to start our day...our compliments to the chef! They also make it a habit to use local ingredients for their meals which is great to see. (If you go, be sure to check out Henry's Market - bacon to die for!) We didn't have an opportunity to try their dinners, but the menu posted daily looked fabulous. This wonderfully decorated building is located within walking distance of many sights, yet there is no traffic sound. We hope to make it back again to South Shire and will definitely spread the word on your great hospitality. Dan & Roxanne, Caledonia NY

The people made this place SO unique. I've never been treated so nicely- genuinely- by hospitality people. The hotel staff clearly love what they do; you can feel It by how they treat their guests. In addition, the room was so cute, and the fact that it was pet-friendly made it extra special!

We stayed in the large Sleigh Room Suite which was beautiful- comfortable bed, fireplace, jacuzzi bath with separate shower- and quiet. The breakfasts were excellent. The added pleasures were meeting the host- Joe- and staff. They truly care about their guests and want you to feel right at home.

Central Heat was not on yet, but space heater was enough. Shower was good. Historical old building has charm but some amenities were different. Excellent breakfast setting.
