The Barnstead Inn

We stayed at the Barnstead Inn for a girls weekend in August 2021. It was incredible, probably my best Bed & Breakfast experience ever. Our room the Dorset Room was immaculately clean, the decor and bathroom were gorgeous. There was always coffee available and morning breakfast was amazing. Pop up food vendor on some evenings was great. Also loved the tavern and being able to get a drink by the fire in the evening. It was an easy walk to downtown. The owners were friendly and welcoming. I'm planning to come back for a weekend with my husband soon!

I loved my stay. I was here for 2 nights and everything was perfect. The rooms are unique and all oversized, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast is included and excellent; eggs Benedict one morning and blueberry cream cheese stuffed French toast the next. The fire pits were lit and a nice way to meet fellow guests every evening, with drinks and food delivered to our lounge chairs. Beautiful gardens and location.

The Barnstead Inn is absolutely fabulous! My sister and I just wrapped our very first visit to Vermont and staying at the Barnstead Inn made the trip one to remember! The staff is just amazing and so intentional. The Arlington Room was perfect, and the outdoor fireplaces paired with a Vermont Flannel Co. blanket was oh so cozy in the evening. The breakfast was AMAZING and was served alongside some of the best coffee I have ever had. The the furry innkeepers King & Lucky were friendly faces ready to greet you at every turn which was so fun. Barnstead team, thank you for everything and keep up the amazing work! This place is truly special. The Massey family will most certainly be back!

I just stayed at the inn with my 84 year-old mother and my 25 year-old daughter and we fell in love with the beauty and charm of the whole property. The rooms were clean and bright with comfy beds and bedding we loved the modern farm decor too the home made breakfasts were absolutely delicious, we loved the sweet dogs and everybody that worked there were so warm and friendly. Even in November it was absolutely perfect. We can’t wait to go back!

My sister and my 2 daughters just returned from a weekend away at the Barnstead Inn. It was absolutely perfect in every way. We were greeted by the wonderful “furry innkeepers, King and Lucky! They couldn’t have been sweeter. Our rooms were in the Cowbarn which is so beautifully decorated with that modern but rustic farmhouse feel. Everything you could need or want is right there. They were very clean and beautiful. There were fire pits right outside our door on the patio and although we weren’t able to sit and enjoy them, they make it feel so warm and inviting. Everyone couldn’t have been nicer to us. They truly make you feel welcomed and are very easy to talk to. The breakfast each morning was delicious and Sarah was great in the evening to make wonderful drinks and appetizers as we sat around and got to know the kids, Peyton and Pierce. So friendly and sweet. The Inn and all of the grounds were so beautifully decorated with Christmas lights and decor which made it feel so beautiful this time of year. This trip was a getaway planned for my sister who has been dealing with health issues the past couple of years. We wanted to give her an experience that she would love and remember for a long time and The Barnstead Inn provided that and more! Thank you so much to Andrea and Pete. You truly have an amazing property that you take pride in and provide such a wonderful experience to your guests. Thank you Sarah for your hospitality at the tavern and the great cocktails you make! You were so sweet even when we showed up at closing time and asked you to make us one last cocktail. Thank you Pierce and Payton for sitting and chatting with us when we arrived. You were very cute and we loved talking to you. To King and Lucky who sat with us and made us smile for 2 days and allowed us to give them hugs whenever we felt like it. We won’t forget our 1st time at the Barnstead Inn. I am already looking forward to our next trip back. Manchester VT is a beautiful town with lots to see and do. We can’t wait to come back!

This Inn is beautifully done. The grounds and buildings are immaculate. The room we stayed in was very nicely done. Unfortunately the mattress for us was very uncomfortable and way too soft, we sunk in. The food both at the tavern and breakfast was great! The two dogs are adorable.

Wow. What a great Inn. Our stay surpassed our expectations and we can't wait to return. The grounds are gorgeous the website pictures do not give it justice, the hosts and staff are just lovely King and Lucky included and the location is fabulous. We can't wait to come back!Service: 5/5

We stayed here Columbus Day weekend and it was the perfect location. Amazing homemade breakfast each morning and dinner at the bar was great too. Loved the dogs, Lucky and King. Will definitely stay here when back in Vermont.

We've been visiting Manchester for years and were happy at the Kimpton, but I'm so glad we made the switch this year to Barnstead Inn. Perfectly placed for skiing in Stratton and a gentle walk to town each afternoon before drinks and dinner. It has a family-run feel because it is! and they also take great care in the quality of food and drink. Great new rooms. Fabulous atmosphere. Excellent hospitality all round! thank you

We had a fantastic stay. We rented the Hildene suite during Christmas weekend. It was magical. The host was so friendly and attentive. The breakfast every day was excellent. It’s right in Manchester so it’s close to shops, restaurants and ski mountains. We ate dinner one night in the tavern and it was by far our best meal in Vermont.
