“Wonderful, serene, quaint~”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2007

My husband I stayed for one week, The room was cozy, clean and quiet, The grounds were lovely with a beautiful mountain view across the highway. Quick commute to Bennington or Manchester areas. The Hotel owner Sophia is lovely! Very helpful and kind, we had a patio room with a barbecue outside and every day coffee and condiments were left in the room after being cleaned! (Microwave, fridge and coffee pot not to mention WIFI connection for laptop users!) Will stay again when in the area!

“Love this beautiful country motel !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2007

person found this review helpful

The location is fabulous -- a few miles away from the noise of Bennington and Manchester, yet close enough for shopping and recreational attractions. The motel and grounds are really beautiful. We usually have a patio room, and can grill and dine outside if the weather is good. The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfy. We have stayed there a few times per year for the last four years, and always had a great experience. The owner, Sophia, is very friendly and helpful and always has a big smile for you. Her continental breakfast is great -- love that homemade banana bread we had on our olast visit!!

  • Liked — clean, cozy, convenient, attractive, and great value
  • Disliked — nothing
  • Stayed May 2007, travelled as a couple

“OK but there are better in Bennington”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2004

Hotel is about 7 miles north of Bennington. Slightly back from Route 7a, could still hear car traffic. Claims to have continental breakfast but only has coffee and some fresh fruit in the office which is the size of a walk in closet. Rooms are small but clean. Beds are very soft, wife and I both woke up with back aches. Bathroom is very small, sink with no vanity. No place to put bathroom supplies. The hotel soap and shampoo is placed on the toilet tank top! Baseboard heating must have been added recently. The pipes for it run inside the room along the ceiling and walls. Perhaps if they painted it white it would not stand out so much. The copper color does not add to the charm of the place. We were not there in summer but the air conditioner is in the bathroom!. I guess it must get cold in there to take a shower when it has to cool the entire room. We stayed there because closer hotels to Bennington were full during leaf peeper season. Need to drive a distance to get to restaurants.
