“Quaint B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We had an early morning flight at Burlington Int'l airport so we decided to stay near the city of Burlington over night. We could not get a hotel room and this B&B is just over a 10 minute drive to the airport and is reasonably priced so we booked it.
Anne the owner was very nice & met us in the evening with a plate of home made cookies. They were very tasty.
The B&B only had 3 rooms. Our room was quite tight as we had expected but it was fine for one night. The decor looked new and was charming. Just like staying in someone's home.
The bed was very comfortable.The bathroom in our room was quite large and very clean and had all we needed.
Since it was Fall we just opened the window for some air , but I would think if it was summer, the room might be very hot as I did not see any air conditioning. There are also no TV's in the room. Just one downstairs in the living room.
There was a lot of noise outside coming from the home across the street. It was either a party or a bunch of kids just sitting outside, but we did hear them until quite late. Also, the B&B is not soundproof and we could hear someone walking around in the hall.
There is a long stairway in the house up to the rooms and unfortunately the stairway is very narrow and we had a hard time carrying our luggage up to the room.
Since we had an early morning flight we were not able to stay for breakfast. We left when it was still dark out (5am) and it was very dark at the door where we left. Finally a few feet away to the parking area the sensor lights came on. I would recommend to the owner to put sensor lights by the front door entrance for safety.
The owners live in the house connected next door and have an intercom in the kitchen where you could call them if you needed anything.

Room Tip: Very small tight room. I don't recommend staying here if you are more than 2 people.

“Charming VT B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2011

Truly enjoyed our stay here, in the "Cozy" room. Although the room is small, it's very comfortable, attractive, and immaculate. A recent renovation made the room somewhat larger than it was on our last visit. The grounds are beautiful, with lovely gardens, lawns, & views of nearby fields. Easy to find, and only short drives to Shelburne and Burlington. Ann & George are very warm & welcoming hosts, and they serve very nice full breakfasts. Excellent value.

Room Tip: All 3 rooms are nice. Try to book as early as possible to get the one you'd like.

“We loved our stay at Elliot House B&B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2011

My partner and I stayed in the "Quaint" room over the long Easter weekend. We arrived later than we hoped, but Anne greeted us with cookies and recommended a great place nearby, called Cucina Antica, to eat a late dinner.

Our room's decor was "old-fashioned romance" - it was spotlessly clean and had a nice, big bathroom. The views from both the room and and bathroom were beautiful and relaxing. The breakfasts were delicious and we very much enjoyed the conversations with Anne and the other guests. On Easter Sunday, all guests got Easter chocolates as a treat.

We were very happy with Elliot House and with the surrounding area - there are many things to do in Shelburne and in nearby Burlington. Ann's recommendations were wonderful - even though last Saturday was cold and rainy, we had a fabulous time at the Vermont winery as well as the teddy bear factory in Shelburne, and then explored the pedestrians-only Church Street in Burlington. I also highly recommend Shelburne Farms, which is interesting for adults and fun for children. If you want a really great view of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks, go up to Shelburne Farms' Lone Tree Hill.

In a nutshell...we need to go back soon!

“Kindly, caring and helpful hosts. Five star breakfast - so fresh and nutricious! Meticulously clean.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2011

I knew beforehand that the rooms (there are 3) would be "cozy" so I was prepared for feeling cramped in the closet sized bathroom, but I didn't care at all because the rest of the experience was so delightful. All 3 rooms were rented the night we stayed, so the breakfast table was full and we enjoyed such stimulating conversation that we lingered long past the appointed breakfast time. If this was an inconvenience to our hostess, she never let on, allowing us a relaxing morning before we all headed out into the world.

“Classic B&B experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2011

Great innkeepers -- friendly, helpful, welcoming, knowledgeable. Clean, comfortable rooms. Convenient but quiet location. Great views from the two guest rooms at the back looking out to the orchards, fields, mountains. Tasty breakfast, yummy cookies and tea. Excellent value.
