We recently stayed in the Gordon Suite (separate bedroom, bathroom with jacuzzi, living room and mini kitchen). For the money (about $240) this room was well worth the price. Something this big with this much to offer would be twice that price in nearby Boston.
We ate dinner in the restaurant and went to Corks afterwards for some after dinner drinks, which was all excellent.
The only reason I give this review average is for the room. When we first walked in we were overcome with a musty smell. So much so that we went down the road to a grocery store and bought some air freshener which definitely helped, but I can't believe the staff doesn't smell this and do something about it. There were also many tiles that had settled and shifted on the bathroom walls with grout missing too. I realize this is an old inn, has certainly settled over time and I don't fault them for this. Everything was super clean.
I hope they can do some work to get the musty smell out, but I think it's probably a bigger issue with the age of the building, heating system, etc. I also realize that many places are hurting in this economy and don't have a ton of money to put into updates. Let's hope the Bedford Village Inn survives with flying colors. There's not many upscale places left in this area and our dinner, drinks (and breakfast the next day) were held in half filled or less rooms.
