We stayed at the White Goose Inn for several days in May 2010, and thought it had both plusses and minuses. The room was spacious and the beds were reasonably comfortable, but our room did not have a closet or an armoire. The sink was in the bedroom, not the bath. The bathroom had the smallest shower compartment I've ever seen, too small for someone 6'2."

The website pictures of this B&B suggest a rustic setting, but the building sits only thirty feet from Route 10, the local north-south road that handles its share of car and truck traffic. Our room faced the road; anyone staying here would do well to ask for a room in back.

The breakfasts were tasty and well prepared, but guests were obliged to eat between 8 and 9. The innkeeper had the annoying habit of coming into the breakfast room while guests were eating, and starting lengthy conversations--as if he were a guest himself. I thought his behavior intrusive.

With taxes and all, this place cost us $150 a night and wasn't worth it. There are several small motels within a mile or two that charge about $80 a night; friends who stayed at them said they were quite satisfied.
