After much driving between colleges and information filled sessions, I knew I would want a more homey atmosphere than what we would experience in cookie cutter hotels those first nights. Howarth House exceeded my expectations. I was first struck by the high gloss floors as well as very clean... More

The proprietors Brian and Linda have created a beautiful retreat in Central Massachusetts. The house and grounds are lovely, and the entire experience a study in casual elegance. The rooms are beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds, soft... More

Going back to my old hometown alone was a first for me. And since I was traveling alone, I wanted a comfortable and friendly place to stay. The Holiday Inn wasn't it. Then online I found the Howarth House B & B. and that was it. When I arrived the hosts were so welcoming and friendly. I knew immediately I... More

Great value, warm & friendly hosts, wonderful old home, what else could you ask for? Oh, and a loving tail wag from Tucker each morning! We loved it here and still can't get over the value. Just be careful what you order for breakfast, the portions are huge! -Jim & Patty Price
