A great family friendly Inn with gracious hosts, Jim and Linda and helpful staff. Stayed the July 4th weekend with daughter and son in law and two young grandchildren. Everything was great. Breakfasts (included in rate) are sumptuous. We ate dinner one night and that was also very good. The young ones (4 and 7) had a ball on the property. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We have stayed at several nice Inns in Dorset and would recommend Barrows especially if traveling with young ones.

Incredibly friendly, wonderful innkeepers. The rooms are clean and well kept, service is excellent, and prices are very reasonable compared to other B&Bs in the area. Good food, particularly the included breakfast. This is a place we will stay again when visiting our friends in Dorset. Dorset itself is a lovely town, lovely Vermont scenery, and easily accessed.

My wife and I (and dog) just returned from a wonderful long weekend at Barrows House. The Stables, where we stayed, was well appointed, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Our meals were served in a warm and inviting style. Don't miss the rack of lamb, leek tart, and generous desserts. Each evening innkeepers Jim and Linda McGinnis came to our table and inquired about our day, and offered great ideas to add to our stay in Vermont. These two have worked exceptionally hard over the years to keep Barrows House a gem. We will plan on coming again.
