Jackson House Inn0

What a lovely place to spend a few days decompressing! Let me give you — reasons why this should be your next travel experience. 1. It is elegant without being stuffy. Everywhere you turn, you see little touches, thoughtful touches, that remind you that the owners know the business and know, exquisitely, how to care for their guests. 2. Breakfasts are sensational. They are tasty, unusual, and beautiful. And they are served in a dining room that oversees beautiful grounds. 3. The grounds are breathtaking. Everywhere you look, there are flowers and bushes and gardens, professionally attended to. It takes a good half hour to mosey around the four acres that comprise this elegant estate. 4. While you are out and about on the grounds, there are all kinds of places to sit. In the shade, in the sun. Grouped with multiple chairs. With solo or pairs of seats. Our favorite thing to do was to cross a bridge over a creek that runs through the property, and sit in the shade of a tree next to a small pond on the property. Such serenity. The quiet is punctuated by an occasional rooster from a nearby property. 5. While you are in the building there are lots of places to sit and read or quietly converse. There are at least three rooms devoted to this purpose. One is a library. All have elegant, but comfortable chairs. 6. The bed in our room was a study in luxury. I am 5’11”, and the top of the mattress was above my belly. It was a little awkward to ascend into (my wife’s side has a step stool), but well worth the effort. The bed is ultra comfortable. 7. The staff was personable, and made it clear that they would do anything reasonable to please their guests. 8. You know how country inns sometimes have a long covered porch and multiple easy chairs. This one does as well. 9. The avian life of the property is rich. Sitting in the dining room, it was a joy to watch dozens of birds flitting about the property, moving amongst the trees and vegetation.

All good.

This B&B was phenomenal -- and we're picky travelers! We loved everything from the room to the breakfasts to the overall atmosphere and service. Location wise it was satisfactory -- only a 3-4 minute drive to the shops and restaurants of walkable and very charming Woodstock. We would definitely stay here again.

The only suggestion we can make to the B&B is to lower the sugar and overall carb content of the breakfasts (better balance). Everything was absolutely delicious (no complaints there), but at least half of the breakfasts we experienced started with a sugary signature beverage and were rather heavy for starting the day. Wish there was a simpler, lighter option on those heavier days like eggs and fruit or eggs, breakfast meat, and toast. A sugary drink followed by fruit (with maple syrup) followed by French toast with breakfast meat (just an example of one of our mornings) was enough sugar to make us want to nap at 10 a.m. We suggest balancing the menu a bit better or offering a simple secondary/back up option to guests.

Breakfast was excellent and so satisfying; it was a 3 course breakfast during our stay, the kindest staff, the hostess and the chef always attentive and inviting. Myself and my daughter wanted to take some of our left over breakfast on the road with us when checking out and the chef made additional, 2 extra, fresh and hot breakfast servings to take with us. The kindest people who take care of the Inn and everyone who visits. I recommend the beautiful, historical and a home like feeling experience that myself and my daughter had during the last 4th of July weekend! The hostess and the concierge are helpful and pleasant with accommodations!! Thank you all for making it such a pleasant experience for us. The location is great, just a short drive to Woodstock Village, there is a farmer's market on the way and a snack bar right over a nice stream where people can stop and enjoy the nature.

The Inn is lovely and well cared for, and there were some nice little touches like fresh baked cookies left out in the tea room one night. The grounds are beautiful.

Breakfast took a really long time each morning, and we had to arrive at a set time rather than a window of time which was a bit restrictive. So if you like to get up and go in the morning, take this into account.

Friendly staff, excellent breakfast, beautiful old home, comfortable shared spaces to read and have a cup of tea. The gardens are especially pretty and a nice place to sit or stroll. The location is convenient to the shops in Woodstock but separate enough to feel private and quiet. It was a really lovely stay!

One of the trade offs with beautiful old places is a certain level of creakiness — the front door could use some grease to keep it from loudly announcing the arrival or departure of other guests.

Very convenient yet peaceful location. Rooms were furnished and equipped to an exceptionally high standard which reflected excellent taste and vision for traditional style. An absolute gem. Breakfasts were imaginative, ample and superior to expected hotel fare. The innkeepers were helpful and proactive in satisfying guests’ needs. Jackson House sets the standard to which other establishments should strive to attain

I could not envisage any areas needing improvement

This room was exceptional with a wonderful shower, very comfortable bed, and beautiful view outside the doors to the back garden. The managers Robin and Chef Jeff were a pleasure to talk with very interesting backgrounds. The breakfasts were delicious and varied. Met some very interesting fellow guests which was a added treat to our stay.

Nothing.

The mixed style of original with modern facilities. Absolutely loved how you can appreciate how the house looked some 130 years ago while also being able to have a spa bathtub after a long day of traveling.

At no fault of theirs, due to COVID protocols, they were not allowed to enter or clean our room during our stay. Nevertheless, they supplied as much clean linen as requested.

So many elegant touches - from the Frette linens and robes, to the delicious breakfast with the homemade strawberry pastry and eggs. Very personalized service and everything smelled so good, like lemon oil and wood soap. I was even treated to some pet therapy when I got to spend time with Lilith, the owner's cat. It was an amazing experience and I will definitely recommend and return.

Great breakfast, was prepared by the owner/chef and it was different every day we were there. The location was right outside of town, a 5-minute drive to town, and well worth the trip, Cant wait to go back to see what else Woodstock has to offer, 👍
