Everything was very clean and well taken care of. The staff was very friendly and breakfast was great. Parking/access was easy and stress-free. Anyone with bad allergies keep in mind that this is out in the country - grass/hay, farms around etc. This is a big part of what we enjoyed about it but we know it can be a problem for some people.

A very traditional inn. This is a B and B though. No tea or coffee in the carriage room we were in. A really lovely spot with great pool area and gardens. Very peaceful and beautiful breakfast with 5 star service. Good good 10 min drive to North Cannon.

Lovely grounds, well maintained rooms, very pleasant staff and excellent breakfast, and the main house is a beautiful vintage estate house. I stayed in a separate building with a relaxing common area. It would have been nice to have coffee/tea available in room or in the common area (rather than have the short walk to the office area) to get coffee in the morning, particularly in inclement weather.

We really enjoyed our trip to Blackberry River Inn. The room was clean and cozy. Parking was easy. Interactions with Lucas gave us the feeling that we are really home. When we had to leave early by 7 am, Lucas offered to prepare hot breakfast to go for us though breakfast time starts at 8:00 am. When you do have time to sit down and have breakfast, it was well prepared. Like the other guest said, that is the best breakfast you can have in town, pancakes, eggs, sausages, yogurt, milk, coffee, juice. He offers all.

This historic inn is beautiful!
We stayed in the main building which was built around 1760.
The room was very spacious and set up well. We also had an enclosed 'porch' which was very nice. There was a small refrigerator. A microwave and coffee maker were not in the room. That would have been nice.
The bathroom was also spacious, but had a lot of wasted space. It could have been arranged better, giving a larger shower area. The heat is the old, stand-up radiator/building heat, so there is not much ability to control the room's temperature accurately. The first night was too warm, second too cool, etc.
The best part about staying here was the staff and the breakfast. The staff was fantastic and always available if you needed. They were always pleasant and ready to help. Joe, Lucas and (I don't know the lady's name) were great! Especially Joe!
I always had the omelet for breakfast. It was probably the best I've ever had. There was also a good sized fruit cup, home fries, toast or English muffin and pancakes. Coffee, juice, and, of course, water were also provided. Coffee, tea and cookies were always available in the foyer. The cookies seemed home-made and not store bought. Very good. Even though we stayed 4 nights, our room was made up every day with fresh towels and linens. A few pieces of candy were also set on a tray. Nice.
We stayed here due to the proximity to Canaan.
We would definitely stay here again if visiting that area.
Rated Excellent primarily due to staff.

This place was a mixed bag. The main house was nicely decorated, with coffee, tea, cookies and cake available at all times. Breakfast was outstanding, and Joe was so gracious and amazing. Our room, however, was less than satisfactory. The room was cold, with no apparent means for heat. There was also a sewage smell, especially in the bathroom. Overall, it was ok, but we would probably not stay here again.

A beautiful old Inn that has been well looked after. Breakfast was in a beautiful room and the food and service were both excellent. We also appreciated the complimentary cookies and chocolates in the foyer along with the tea and coffee facilities. The not so good points were the strong smell outside from the piggery (?) which thankfully couldn't be smelled from inside the building. Also the walls are paper thin so we were kept up by our neighbours who turned up late and had their TV going. The toilet paper is incredibly thin and what you might expect from a much cheaper place.

Breakfast makes the difference.

Between a 3 and a 5!
This is a mixed bag. Accommodation for after-hours arrival was terrific.
Breakfast was a real treat! Breakfast: 5 ⭐️.
Room was very basic. Small and sparsely furnished. No TV. No phone. WiFi not working. Comfortable bed. Bath also clean but very basic. Wash basin but no counter. Shower with curtain that lets water onto the floor. Room 3 ⭐️.
But for one or two nights when not occupying the room much more than to sleep and wash-up, it is certainly serviceable.
Would return for breakfast alone!
Convenient to Lime Rock Park racetrack!

The Inn is on a lovely piece of property with trees, grass, flowers. The bathroom was beautiful, the bed was comfortable and there was a common area \"living room\" that had a fridge for guests to place things and a microwave. The pool is fabulous (though it could use some more chaise lounges, there were only 2). The breakfast was truly delicious, made to order every morning. Home made chocolate chip cookies are out for the taking and there are dvds to borrow if you want to watch t.v. There is no cable or roku, so if that is important to you, you may want to bring a laptop as there is internet and you can stream your own.
Campbell Falls is very very close and stunning. There is also a good winery down the street which had some lovely wines.
Overall, this was a perfect getaway.

Classic but dated and worn

The place was nice enough, but definitely showed it's age as an old house converted to an Inn. The room was big, and the bathroom huge, but the mattress was old and tired. There was no central AC or even a mini-split, it was a very noisy old window AC unit that barely cooled the room, but could not touch the bathroom. We had to shut the bathroom door to get any cooling in the room. I don't hate it, but would only stay in spring or fall when the temps are low.

My stay was excellent. My room was on the 2nd floor right side, next to the window...big enough for a family of 3.
This was a solo/business trip for me and the room has an excellent dining room and meeting/living room with a very nice view if you love green. I slept like a baby. Breakfast was fantastic-freakin-tastic--drop a $20 on the table for the fam. Will stay there whenever I go back up th Limerock Park. The drive to and from Limerock is a dream if u know what u doin...and ya gotta go to the pub up the road...the locals are super freaking awesome!!!
