A unique historical property, the furnishings are all lovely antiques. The parlor room is a beauty and it was so nice to have a cup of tea there at the end of the day. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. It was like staying at your great aunt's glamorous home...welcoming and comfortable. The bed was amazing!

It was quaint. It’s a very old house so it is very creaky. It was nice and quiet otherwise. There was a mixup in rooms with not much of an apology. Once I had unpacked I was told I needed to move to another room because new staff gave me a reserved room. All in all it was a nice place but not sure I would go back.

Spectacular house!

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.

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.

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.

The building was really nice and in the process of finishing up on painting. The rooms were very dated and I assume to be refreshed next? Our room had several issues, The coffee table in the sitting area was broken and should be removed. The drapes in the sitting area had a broken rod so it was difficult to close them. The bath vanity had 2 of 4 lights out, the 2 working were different brightness and there was no soap at the sink. The base boards were Very dusty around the toilet. The coffee had 3 expresso and 1 regular coffee pod. We don't care for expresso. I talked to, I think, the owner about the issues and said he was unaware of them and they would be taken care of. That night we returned to No change to the bulbs in the bathroom, coffee table untouched, NO coffee pods at all and the coffee area still had old pods and dirty cups there. No change to the coffee table or the curtain rod. They did service the room because there were fresh towels. The bed had the Duvet pulled up but we had left it that way so not sure they did anything in the bed area.
