“Relaxing weekend away in quintessential Vermont town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

My honey and I spent a two-day weekend away to celebrate Valentine's day. Middlebury has a beautiful college with a Snow Bowl for downhill skiing, Otter Creek brewery, and all the usual features of a quaint New England town.

The Inn is located right off the town green, with most places within walking distance. It is a beautiful inn with nicely decorated rooms that are comfortable and warm. The inn keepers are wonderful and charming, serving a complimentary breakfast to your room with a smile (and panache). The little details are as important here as the larger ones; you get complimentary water bottles in your room for example and fresh baked cookies and coffee and tea are also available, no charge. The bathrooms are well equipped, with Aveda products, robes, showers with power, and plenty of hot water. The beds were very comfortable, and we appreciated the black-out shades that are easily raised to enjoy the views or lowered for sleeping. Bruce and Brenda truly care about your stay, and will help you find whatever you need to make your stay at the inn and in town enjoyable.

We will definitely be visiting again!

“Perfect New England Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying in Middlebury at the Inn on the Green. The Inn was located right in the center of the town, easy to walk to restaurants, the college, and entertainment. The Inn was very clean, the decor was extremely pleasant and interesting, and the bed was quite comfortable. The breakfast, which is brought up to the room at a time that the guest indicates, was wonderful, with fresh baked goods, yogurt, hot beverages, and fruit.

The very knowledgeable and engaging Innkeepers went beyond the call of duty answering questions as we exploring the town as a potential place to live. They helped us with tickets to a concert, and had many recommendations that were extremely helpful in our exploration.

In short, this was one of the most satisfying inn/bed and breakfast that we have stayed at and would highly recommend it.

“Dissapointing, and breakfast was very poor”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Given the other positive reviews on the Inn we were expeting great things. The location is fantastic and the added extras like cookies and tea were well received. However, the sleep qulaity was dreadful and every time one of us moved in bed the whole matress creaked too so we had no sleep for two nights. Frankly, the breakfast was terrible, on both occassions wha we ordered did not come all together and we had to ask for it to be supplied. In fact we were so dissapointed with the breakfast thet we actually went to the bakery which supplied the Inn to check it out. The bakery was fine but I just wonder if the owners of the Inn actually check out what is being supplied to their customers.
We loved Middlebury, had a good walk round the college and had a brewery tour, sadly the Inn did not impress us.

iog71, Owner at Inn on the Green, responded to this review
7 January 2012
Thank you very much for taking the time to offer a review of our inn. We regret very much that you were not pleased with some aspects of your stay.
We were quite surprised by your observation that you found the quality of sleep to be poor. In the last year, we have replaced all of the 18 mattresses used by guests of the inn and many guests have told us that our mattresses are exceptionally comfortable. Thank you for making us aware that the bed in your room made creaking noises in response to movement. The inn is furnished with a mix of antique, vintage, and new objects. We constantly are on the lookout to identify furniture and furnishings that need repair or replacement, and I believe that we are very responsive when a guests reports any shortcoming. For example, in response to a guest observation that the rooms could be darker at night for optimal sleep, we recently replaced 49 window coverings to provide blackout cellular shades in all the guest rooms.
May I respectfully suggest that should you find yourself in a similar position in the future (that is, if you are not satisfied with any aspect of your room or its furnishings), raise the issue with the innkeeper at the time of your stay. Had you done so during your stay with us, we would have made every effort to move you to a different room. As your comment reached us only now, several months later, we can only express our sincere regret to you and assure other prospective guests that we will follow up on the specific observation about the bed creaking, and will replace or repair it as appropriate.
We regret that you found your breakfast disappointing. Our experienced staff do get it right most of the time, delivering a custom breakfast specified by the guest (based on a breakfast card filled out the evening prior) at the time he or she would like to enjoy breakfast. This becomes a little more difficult to manage during very busy periods, but the guest breakfast experience should never suffer as a result. I do apologize that in your case, it seems that our efforts were not completely successful.
Again, thank you very much for your feedback. I'm glad that you enjoyed visiting our village and hope we will meet here again one day!

“exactly what we were looking for”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

kind staff, comfortable and cozy room. the quaint accommodations and homey vibe made me never want to check into a hotel again! we came in from the cold and fresh cookies had just come out of the oven. tea was delivered to our room in ceramic mugs. breakfast in bed was the perfect touch to top off a phenomenal stay. would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

“Kudos to "The Green!"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011

As a guest lecturer at Middlebury College in late October, I was lodged at this dreamily perfect place in this perfect little town. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and genuinely caring. The complementary breakfast (who can beat hot oatmeal, fresh bread from the local bakery, plus a pot of coffee and fixings) is delivered on demand in a room that makes a guest feel as though she's staying at a friend's home. Accommodations and decor are appropriately vintage New England, yet up-to-the-minute comfy and convenient.
I was thrilled.
