“Probably Quaint Once”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

There are some nice things about this inn. It has an appealing, quaint sort of look to it, and if you are doing something in or around Ridgefield the location is ideal. But it is clear that the owners have not taken care to maintain the condition of the property or to look after the details of their guests' experience. The room was plenty big and we found the bed comfortable. But . . . there was a funny sort of smell in the entry to the detached building that held our room and one other. Fortunately, the smell did not invade the room itself. And while the bedroom was roomy, the bathroom decidedly was not. It was tiny, and in need of maintenance. The toilet was so rickety I felt like it might collapse, taking me with it. And there was very little water pressure in the shower. I had to gyrate, contort, dance, and bend in various ways to have an adequate shower. Then there was breakfast. On the plus side, it was delivered to the room. On the minus side, it was not even what you could call a continental breakfast. A croissant and juice. The end. Enough to keep you from starving, but not enough to really call a breakfast. The grounds and surroundings are nice, but my guess is that the owners have been reluctant to invest enough in their property to make it a distinctive inn. As it is, it's just average, and not a destination.

“Stay somewhere else!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011

people found this review helpful

I stayed here over 20 years ago when it was really wonderful. The rooms were crisp, clean and well appointed. Dinner in the restaurant was superb, the mattress was comfy, pilllows soft and ample in number, light in the room was bright and made the room so welcoming. Breakfast delivered the next morning arrived in a huge willow basket with several wonderful choices of muffins, croissant and brioche, hot coffee and water for tea....probably with a flower wrapped in the linen surrounding the treats. What a difference 20 years can make. I was so looking forward to my visit to The Stonehenge after such a long hiatus...here is how it played out last night, a night both my husband and I wish to forget. We arrived around 11:25 PM to an empty "hospitality" desk, an envelope with our name was awaiting. The room was easy to find, directly behind the public rest room and about 10 feet from the front desk. The door was open, our room key on the bed. All lights have those dim flourescent light bulbs, depressing....one lamp by the bed had a ripped and torn liner on the silk lampshade, another lamp had a plastic, Wal-martesque off the shelf shade on a lovely porcelain lamp base. The bathroom had 70's 3 by 3 white tile that was crying for Sir Grout to come in and clean from top to bottom! The rimmed white sink, also a la 70's, desperatly needed to be re-grouted.The TV was an ancient 19 inch black boxed type sitting on a swivel cart. The clock in the room (no port for your ipod!) an old fashioned digital radio was displaying a time that I did not realize until the next day when I was late for an appointment, was 20 minutes behind!!! But THE worst part of all was the bed, it was as hard as a rock when I sat on it, and it had perfectly square corners more like a box spring foundation, not a mattress. I took the sheets off and it was a box spring, sitting on top of another box spring! I could feel springs under me and the sound when one moved was of metal...needless to say I was awake the entire night! If the bed had not kept me awake the a/c would have. We had it set on the lowest setting but at that it was still freezing in the room and it sounded like an airplane, it was so loud. If you turned it off the room became very hot and stuffy. I tried to get warm by putting on a blanket, but the ONLY blanket in the room (besides the dingy thin white washed one too many times bedspread), was a fuzzy, light, thin beige cotton and polyester blanket, which my husband kept wrapping around himself to keep warm. I wished there was a second blanket, an all weather down comforter with spanking clean white duvet cover would have been nice! There was a blood (?) stain on the dust ruffle which was too short, skimpy and again probably purchased at Walmart. The dark blue carpet had nasty stains just outside the bathroom door in 2 or 3 places. When the alarm went off, 20 minutes late, I opened the door to claim our "breakfast" that had been left on a tray at the door at 7:30. There was one very small croissant for each of us, no butter, tepid coffee and water for my tea so cool that I could not even make the tea! The orange juice was most assuredly NOT Tropicana much less fresh squeezed.
The entire experience was an abomiation...they should have been paying ME to stay there. Don't get me wrong I was not expecting Frett linens or rose petals scattered on the pillow top mattress (actually I was expecting a very comfortable bed..not too much to ask at a hotel or Inn, is it???????) What I am saying is that I was not expecting a 5 star experience given the rates BUT I was expecting a degree of hospitality and comfort. The Stonehenge failed miserably at both. I will never again stay there nor will I recommend it as I did in the past. In fact I apologize to any of my friends who could be reading this who may have stayed there because of my recommendation, based upon the knowledge of a stay 2 decades ago!

“Perfect Place for a Family Gathering”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I thank the Stonehenge Inn for helping to make our family gathering a big success. The second I saw the private grounds and pond, the old clapboard houses and lawns, I breathed a sigh of relief. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated, the staff was extremely accommodating and welcoming. They set us up with a great private room overlooking the pond for dinner, and the food and service were excellent. We were never rushed. They arranged the table as I requested. Everyone was very happy with the place.

“Nice location, but lacking in service”

Nice inn close to the town and activities. Attended a performance at the Ridgefield Playhouse and toured around Ridgefield. Breakfast was lacking, although included it only contained a croissant, juice and coffee or tea - but it was delivered to the room. Staff was nice but aloof.

“Two Thumbs Up”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2008

people found this review helpful

It's not a Relais and Chateau property, (read: the rooms are a touch tired looking) but the service is top notch. Everyone is very kind, helpful, friendly and accommodating. Plus, the setting--on a nice piece of property, with nice lawns, overlooking a small pond--is beautful! Great bang for your buck! Good for a family stay.
