We were in the carriage house extension, the room was very cozy, very clean, and very comfortable. I enjoyed the amenities and had a good time in the jet tub. The location was wonderful, only a 5 minute walk to town, plenty of food and shops around. The decorations were beautiful, and the house itself was very pretty.
There was apparently a bat in the most expensive room in the main house. We did not experience that. The breakfast seemed a bit too fancy for a bed and breakfast. Whenever someone in the carriage house used a water appliance, we could hear it through the bathroom. There was also a lack of places to put a meal down on and eat from. The flat screen tv they advertise is smaller than the pillows.

We had a large bedroom with private bath in a beautiful, large and classic home. The owner and staff were most welcoming and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were great meals. We left our car in the parking area and walked to the center of town a few blocks away. We were pleasantly surprised by a classic car show on Main St. We enjoyed touring the attractions of the Bennington area such as the Battlefield monument and the museum, which had a great exhibit of Grandma Moses.
Nothing - everything was excellent.

The location is fabulous. It’s convenient to all of Bennington, as well as Routes 7 and 7A, for exploring all the surrounding towns. The inn is beautiful and we were sorry we didn’t have more time there to sit and relax on the pretty porch or perhaps play a game or two in the sitting room. Joe is a perfect host and we hope to go back soon.
Having a small refrigerator in the room would have been helpful to keep fresh all the wonderful Vermont goodies we purchased!

Breakfast was excellent, especially the first one with waffles and Amish peaches/cream. Location was great for our purposes. Room furnishings and views were beautiful. Bathroom very clean and well-appointed.
Carpeting in room needed additional vacuuming/cleaning and could probably use updating. Accidental glitch first morning with no hot water for showering, but great second day. No television access that we could find in entire facility. Typically not a problem but there was important breaking news at that time, so maybe a small TV room in such situations would be a good

Beautifully restored old house filled with interesting items. Very much a snapshot of history. The main living room was absolutely beautiful.
No TV or WIFI. Bed was just a full memory foam, which being 6'2" with back issues, was not my first choice. Furniture was nicely done and pretty to look at, but not really usable, I was afraid to layout items or sit on the chair for fear of breaking or scratching something.

Our room was beautiful! It was huge and comfortable in every way. Breakfast was served in a lovely high ceilinged room, on white linen and with flowers on every table. The service was impeccable and the coffee was strong and delicious. The staff and owner were informative and knowledgeable and the inn is walking distance of the downtown restaurants. Hint - fabulous food at Risrorante Allegro!
The only thing that could have improved the experience would have been a choice of breakfast foods. While the Belgian waffle was crisp and delicious and had a topping fresh fruit and Vermont maple syrup, I probably would have ordered an omelet or oatmeal had there been a choice.

Joe was an excellent host. He was very helpful with our arrival. He told us about places of interest to see in the area. He also made great recommendations for places to eat. My favorite part was the breakfast. He made it himself and it was excellent. Joe really works hard to make sure his guests have a great experience.

Breakfast was a surprise treat every morning. Had local honey for my coffee, A different local Mennonite fruit every morning. Joe and his staff were always pleasant and informative.
A longer stay would have been nice but the three nights were wonderful. Didn't miss that there are no TV's in the rooms. Cant wait to go back with my wife.

This house has charm! Beautifully decorated and very welcoming. The bed was very comfortable and the room was super clean. The breakfast was excellent! The bacon was from a local butcher and I could have eaten a pound of it! The location was close to downtown and we were able to walk to dinner. Joe, the owner was fantastic and was full of information about the history of this house. I would highly recomment it.
Everything was great.
