Just as James Taylor faithfully returns to Tanglewood every summer giving an amazing concert, and meeting every expectation year after year - we return to the White Horse Inn every year as well meeting and exceeding our expectations. The McGovern family truly welcomes you into the B&B like you are family but treat you like royalty. Breakfast is offered in a cozy breakfast room, or if you are fortunate like we were to sit on a spacious deck over looking the gardens. Gary makes an amazing hot breakfast item every morning along with fresh fruit and fresh breads made by Kendra and Ms. McGovern. Not just a cold cereal and day old fruit. The rooms though simple are very comfortable, and clean with the bonus of air conditioning. You are not staying at your grandmothers house. We made use of their bbq and enjoyed the home.

Since the McGoverns' are from the area, they are like you own personal concierge service too. They know the area, the shortcuts, the great restaurants, recommendations and if they don't know it, they will happily find the answer.

Its truly a wonderful experience to stay at their home. We look forward to it year after year.

Friends and I have stayed here twice in the last two years. Gary, the owner, is very accommodating - made sure breakfast menu was to our liking (well in advance), handled us checking in late, and served us breakfast early. Rooms are large and well appointed; breakfast room is warm and comfortable; outside deck and yard are lovely (but it was too cold for us to take advantage of them). Each year we check around to look for other options, but come back to the White Horse Inn - and we haven't been disappointed.

White Horse is what a B&B should be. Clean, immaculately maintained. It has no trendiness or sparkle of some boutique B&Bs but everything feels substantial, very comfortable & functional. This makes it very cosy. White Horse is facing a State-level route (set back by about 20 meters) but we never were bothered by the road noise. On a weekend the traffic was practically non-existent. The next morning came on Monday, and I faintly heard a few vehicles pass by during the morning "rush" as I was half-asleep, but then the sounds faded away.
The breakfast was top-quality as Gary prepared something new and very tasty every morning. The portions were not large but quite sufficient.
The hosts were friendly, helpful and very pleasant to talk to.
Although the accomodation is not on the cheap side, the value on offer is very good, considering the hotel's proximity to Tanglewood and its clean and well appointed rooms.
When and if I come to Tanglewood again, I will definitely return.
Almost forgot, ask your hosts to take a sample of delicious Lodi apples from a tree in the back!!! You will not see it in any supermarket (and few if any farmers markets in the USA).

We had a lovely stay at the White Horse Inn. We booked the trip at the last minute, and were staying for only one night, so the places in Lenox were impossible to get into, and we sort of fell into it. Well, it was a lucky fall, because the place was a treat. It has a lot of charm, and the room was well appointed (albeit not lavish). The price was terrificly reasonable.

What really made it stand out was the proactive personal touch - the innkeeper by email asked us if we wanted him to make reservations, and then suggested a few places (with commentary), and then made the reservation needed. At a delicious breakfast the next morning, he gave us great advice on how to spend our day in the area. The only negative point is the obvious one - it's in Pittsfield and on a main road. Of course, it is in the Central Berkshires so it is well located and so it's not really very far out of the way from Lenox/Stockbridge (but it would have been nicer to stay right in one of those towns since there are more attractions there than in Pittsfield)...
