    Inviting common rooms
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Queen Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    It’s an old building, so expect oddly shaped rooms, uneven floors, etc. Every room has en suite bath but the shower is TINY. Road noise from 18-wheelers passing by during night. I think the art in the rooms could be drastically improved. It looked like junk from TJ Maxx when there are so many talented local artists they could collaborate with and exhibit. Travelers need to coordinate their arrival with the innkeeper bc there’s not always staff on site.

    The common rooms are among the best I have ever experienced! So welcoming. Real fire burning on the bar side and absolute relaxed coziness in the library. Close to ski resorts and more affordable than other nearby locations.

    The name lead us to believe that it was all about the history of the structure and the covered bridge. We didn't know that it was more about the gourmet dinning experience. I guess we should have done more research.

    The location was on a main highway and it was extremely noisy. We were expecting more of an 1800s B&B vibe. The room needs more period furnishings and decor. It looks like the last time it was updated was in the 1990's.

    • Queen and Twin Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The room size, although limited, still had space for a queen and twin beds. For a historic, former farmhouse, nothing was unexpected, although for handicapped folks, the stairs might be a consideration.

    Breakfast, although at additional cost, was very good, with plenty of choices, excellent French press coffee and herbal teas, and special touches, such as the delicious chef-made jam and artisanal rye toast. Complementary Keurig brewing was provided in the rooms. We enjoyed chatting with other guests over cocktails in the library, without the distraction of television. Innkeeper Mara was very congenial and accommodating, and was readily available for information, or other requests. The chef, Jev, apparently has established a reputation because we were unable to reserve a place, having not done so in advance. The accommodations were clean, quiet, comfortable, and well-appointed. The property and outdoor facilities were well-maintained, and provided a pleasant country setting on the banks of the river. For a deserved tourist destination, the price was reasonable and comparatively modest - overall, an excellent value. For daily fare to-go, don't miss the nearby farmer's market.

    I wish there was a tv in the room but it wasn't a big deal. I wish the room was a tad bit bigger but it never felt cramped.

    The breakfast was delicious and the location wasn't too far from downtown Woodstock. The rooms were charming and cozy.

    The bed was uncomfortable...a mattress that was long past its comfort-expectancy. The bathroom was cramped, with only a shower-in-the-tub, and virtually no counter space at the sink.

    Breakfast was superb. The owners very helpful, and gracious. They were very helpful in arranging dinner reservations in Woodstock for us, on evenings when they were not serving dinner at the Inn. The "library" was most comfortable, and a wonderful place to "unwind." The Inn's historic significance is well documented, and the additions (outstanding new bar, and dining area) are appropriate in their historic setting.

    Limited access to the bar in early evening. Lovely dinner was served in the dining room which was very well attended. If you wanted to sit in the bar and have a drink during their dinner hour, it wasn't readily available. A bartender in the pub would have been a lovely addition although I think it's important to recognize the difficulty of hiring staff during this Covid/post-Covid period.

    Breakfast and location were excellent.Staff were very engaging and helpful. Outdoor property is expansive with outdoor fireplace and adirondack chairs dotting the lawn along the river bank.

    Sometimes the highway no.4 and cars can be disturbing, however you cant hear it that much inside. Breakfast menu does not change, so do not order everything at once (even it is so tempting) :)

    Beautiful inn with helpful and friendly staff and owner. They have only 6 rooms so it is never crowded. Huge property situated by the river where you can walk and relax. Very stylish rooms with comfortable beds and nice common areas. Breakfast was sooo tasty :)

    The lady who was the owner or caretaker acted a bit elitist/snobby if you asked her for something like it was such an inconvenience to her. She would eventually do it, but we always got the impression we were more annoying/putting her out than actual guests. She should work on her customer service skills. I've worked in the hospitality industry for years including the Four Seasons so I know how to make guests feel like kings. This wasn't really it. New beds could be improved too, a bit old and worn feeling.

    Food was excellent and I do feel both the chef and the caretaker shined most here with their knowledge on food and drink pairing although still need some customer service skills. Maybe practice vocal tone and communication techniques to be more inviting.

    Lack of complimentary items such as coffee, shower gel, shampoo. This is the only place in New England I have stayed in the last 2 weeks (6 properties) where there was a charge for such items. Only the first coffee was free.

    Location on the river and only a short drive into Woodstock. The building had lovely, quirky rooms and layout.
