It was a nice change from regular hotels. Will always stay there if I’m in Bennington and can’t recommend them enough.

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.

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.
