Inn on Putney Road Bed and Breakfast

the property itself is lovely- ample back yard, outdoor seating, as well as indoor reading areas, living room, etc. The breakfasts were delicious.|Some rooms are better suited for folks who are not light sleepers: the Red Maple room is essentially in a converted garage, and the thin walls result in being able to hear your neighbor as they walk around their room, and the water pipes run really loudly when the person in the next room takes a shower, etc. I personally found the Red Maple Room to be a bit claustrophobic because there is only one window and the air conditioner takes up a lot of space in the window, and the view is of a car parked just across the driveway; the remaining windows are coated for privacy and I don't count the window in the door as a real window because it only has a shade for privacy, not a curtain so it's all or nothing for daylight/privacy. The tub in the Red Maple room is great.|The Crown Point Room is much larger and not claustrophobic at all; the street noise is surprisingly frequent, even at night and the water pipes from 2 adjacent rooms are quite loud.

Easily the nicest B & B we’ve ever stayed at! So, so beautiful! Everything from the picturesque backyard, complete with early spring garden and gorgeous pottery, to the charming room was just the perfect romantic getaway for my husband and I. Brattleboro is such a funky, lovely town with a great downtown and this place was just right around the corner!||And don’t get me started on the breakfast!!! 3 courses with fresh muffins, fruit and granola parfait and veggie and goat cheese quiche - all served with fresh, French press coffee! I wish we could have stayed longer.

This stunning historic mansion is an absolute gem. Immaculately maintained, it sits nestled on a picturesque hillside overlooking a river, surrounded by tall trees and beautifully landscaped gardens. The setting is peaceful and idyllic, with plenty of inviting spaces to relax—whether on the decks, in the charming gazebo, or beside a tranquil garden fountain.||The rooms were thoughtfully appointed with everything you could need for a comfortable stay, blending old-world charm with modern convenience. Breakfast was a delight: a perfectly caramelized grapefruit brûlée followed by a delicious homemade bacon quiche, all served with freshly brewed coffee and juice.||Although I was only passing through and could stay just one night, I genuinely wish I had more time to soak it all in. I would absolutely recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone looking for a peaceful, elegant, and memorable getaway.

Our first time to Inn on Putney Road and not our last!! Our daughter goes to a nearby boarding school and we have been trying out different accommodations in the area while visiting her. We had a great stay here. The staff (Marie and Faye) were both EXCELLENT as well as the wonderful cook we met (sorry - did not get her name). Lots of thoughtful touches here by innkeepers that you can tell really care.... snacks in room, water in mini fridge (thank you for no plastic bottles!), robes, coffee in room, the list goes on. Breakfast is very nice and love the French press coffee. They made check-in very easy since we were arriving late. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

We had a wonderful experience at the Inn on Putney Road. Paul is everything a B&B host should be: Kind, professional, a great communicator, considerate, and on top of all of that, he is a great cook! He also made sure that any dietary restrictions were considered, which we highly appreciated, and we enjoyed gourmet style breakfast every day of our stay. There is definitely a personal touch and style that made our stay very special. We highly recommend!

Homey yet elegant, the Inn on Putney Road lives up to the charm one looks for in a Bed and Breakfast. It is cozy and the sense of passion for hospitality comes through. My family member and I stayed a couple of nights. When we arrived, we had space to breathe and become acquainted with the room and house. It felt open, welcoming, and was quiet: just what we longed for when escaping to Vermont for nature and peace. The gorgeous antiques were varied. Each common area was a joy to be in. The room was lovely, clean, and nicely arranged. The mini refrigerator in the closet had plenty of space and there was a carafe of water in it as well as seltzers in glass jars. We let the innkeepers know we were vegan ahead of time, and plant-based popcorn and chocolates, made by local companies, were in a basket on the vanity- a thoughtful touch. There were beautiful pottery mugs for tea and coffee in the room, of spring colors. These were also downstairs for use and there were others for sale: souvenirs to bring home. The mugs are made in MN by a small company, Deneen Pottery. The Harney and Sons looseleaf and bag tea was offered in delicious flavors. All of these mostly local and small business offerings added to the experience. The bed was very comfortable and the bath was delightful for easing the muscles after hikes and cool air. The robes were a luxurious touch. We felt like characters in a period drama: going downstairs to play the piano in the fine room with the fireplace, or for a game of pool. There was also a chess table in another small room which was finely decorated. There were board games and books in abundance. The yard had lighting in the trees at night. Past the bubbling fountain in the middle, there were patios that looked through tall pines at the river below. The stars shone brightly, and we warmed in front of the fire. The Inn people we met were Paul, the owner, and also Fay, and Marie. All were brightly welcoming. Breakfast was exquisite with multiple courses. They took care to provide us filling and flavorful meals with plant-based eggs and sausage, potatoes, grapefruit with a sweet crust of and cinnamon covered in fruit, parfait, and French toast with local maple syrup. What a place!

We had a wonderful visit at the Inn at Putney Road. The room was comfortable, clean and sunny. The food at breakfast was outstanding - more than we could eat We didn’t want to leave!! We will definitely be returning. Thankyou for sharing your wonderful home.

Wonderful accommodations, great service. A must if seeking a place to stay in Brattleboro. Quick walk to town and very convenient to most area hiking.

We had an absolutely lovely stay!! We were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary and we haven't been away since Covid so this was a treat for us and Judy and Paul did not disappoint! Our room was beautiful and the bed was so comfortable. They provided plush robes along with complimentary snacks and sodas made in VT. The delicious breakfast far surpassed our expectations. We are still not eating inside restaurants and we were so grateful for the beautiful set up outside for our breakfast with the stunning view of the backyard. We would highly recommend this inn to anyone visiting the area. We definitely chose the right place!

We had an incredible stay here! Paul, our host, was super friendly and helpful. The house itself is delightfully charming, our room was clean and cozy and stocked with snacks, and the breakfast was delicious. Paul went above and beyond making sure to accommodate our dietary restrictions -- best gluten-free muffins I've ever tasted! 1000% would recommend this spot!

I adored this bed and breakfast. The building and grounds were absolutely beautiful, the beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent. We stayed in the Hummingbird room in the carriage house, but you can't go wrong anywhere you choose.

Our stay with Paul and Judy at the Inn on Putney Road was exceptional. After a long roadtrip from the Midwest, Paul went out of his way to check in on us as we arrived, showing us around the inn and to our room, carefully taking our breakfast orders, and making us feel totally welcome. The house and grounds are beautiful, the room and common spaces warmly decorated and super comfortable, and the food and service each morning for breakfast was first rate. We could not have asked for a more successful stay, and are already planning our next roadtrip out east to give us an excuse to stay there again. We give the Inn on Putney Road our highest recommendation.

We stayed for 2 nights at the Inn on Putney and wished we could stay longer. John and Cindy are the perfect hosts and the inn is beautiful. The grounds are beautiful, with plenty of spots to sit and enjoy a good book. We were in the Ripley Suite and loved it. As you walk in the door, you step into the bedroom with views overlooking the backyard. The bedroom was so cozy and the bed offers an incredible night sleep. Walking into the living room, there is a beautiful fireplace, sofa, desk area and a mini frig. The bathroom is traditional and offers plenty of space. John's breakfasts are absolutely delicious and a wonderful start to each day. We will absolutely go back and you should just go!

Paul and Judy, our hosts at the Inn on Putney Road have likely written the book on hospitality, warmth and the most welcoming morning gourmet breakfast one could ask for... The Inn is a destiination in and of itself. A refreshing casual walk to downtown Brattleboro and all of the neat places and things it has to offer. The beautiful grounds connect directly with acres of wooded trails that lead out to a hidden gem of natural landscape, forest and meadows with direct access for a refreshing swim on a quaint branch of the West river. The Inn is simply first class and beautiful as it offers many quaint and quiet spots inside and on the grounds to enjoy fun and quiet moments together with family, a good book or a nap!

Wonderful bed-and-breakfast just outside of town. The staff was very accommodating, even allowing us to bring our 20 month old granddaughter. The suite upstairs was spectacular, and of the highest quality. They were accommodating and allowing us to use the downstairs in the evening as if it were our home when we wanted to bring in dinner to eat with our granddaughter. Highest recommendations!

There's not much I can say that isn't detailed well in other reviews. This bnb blew us away. The attention to detail was just wonderful. The sheets were the softest sheets I've ever slept in. The food was gourmet and tailored to our tastes/dietary needs. And the area, the friendliness of Paul, just... everything... was so beyond. We got lucky with a cancellation. You will likely have to book well ahead. Sooooo worth it.

Hands down the best B&B I have stayed in. The innkeepers are human beings that create a warm safe environment. They open their inn to veterans each year on Veterans Day cultivating a really nice getaway for veterans and a guest. I can not speak more highly of this B&B. The breakfast is gourmet, and home made with local ingredients. Also love the warm inviting environment. I would not hesitate to recommend this inn to anyone including my own mother !

Paul and Staffs at the Inn, Thank you so much for giving us a wonderful experience at your Inn. Delicious breakfast, serene garden in the back and friendliness of everyone made us feel at home. Loved all the art work in the main house. Thank you Paul for giving us recommendations in terms of hiking trails, art galleries and restaurants. We left Brattleboro with good memories.

We celebrated our 25th Anniversary in Vermont and staying here was the icing on the cake!! Paul's cooking was fantastic!! We still talk about our amazing breakfast he served us! We can not wait to come back! See y'all on 2/13/22!!

What a sense pleasure this B & B is. Cindy has exquisite taste in antiques, art, collectibles, and gifts to take on your journey. We were long-distance travelers from California but what a perfect spot for locals for a special night or a WEDDING. As I snapped pics, I thought that a bridal party would fit perfectly here at the Inn and the guests could converge on the property for a perfect exchange of vows in Vermont. Loved the place...even the piano is in tune for a wedding march, jazz jam, classic, or rock n roll tinkle on the ivories. Great Balls of Fire.

When our adult children presented us with a holiday gift of a two-night stay at Brattleboro's Inn at Putney Road, we had no idea how much we would absolutely love our stay over Valentine's Day (Sunday afternoon, February 13 through Tuesday morning February 15). My wife, Anne, and I are aficionados of elegant New England bed and breakfast inns, and we were thrilled with both the beautiful inn itself as well as Paul, the incredibly kind and hospitable innkeeper and his excellent staff. First the inn: classical New England, warm sculpted woods and a cozy fire, luxurious without being ostentatious. Both gorgeous and enchanting! Our room was the Garden View Room which had a very comfortable queen bed, a warm fireplace, a refrigerator stocked with soft drinks, some complimentary snacks, a coffeemaker, and a deep classic-style tub Inviting public rooms with all the personal touches, eclectic art, and six lovely rooms perfect for travelers or tourists looking for a bit of respite from the usual challenges of the work-a-day world. The atmosphere throughout the inn was comfortable and inviting--with snacks like chocolates and home-made cookies always available and plentiful. As fantastic as the inn was (and it was sensational), it was equaled or even surpassed by the warmth, friendliness, and generosity of the innkeeper, Paul. Over the few days we were there, he became a real friend, always available and inquiring as to our stay but never overbearing or intrusive. He just really seemed to care about us, rather more like friends than simply guests. I believe that the inn was full the days we were there, but he made us feel--through his attention to us and our needs--that we were the only guests there. The breakfasts, as others on these pages have remarked, were truly outstanding---works of culinary art which were not only absolutely delicious, but also delighted all the senses. The presentation of each dish was magnificent. On one morning, a half-grapefruit with a caramelized sugar topping on which rested luscious, colorful fruit, pancakes with strawberries and fresh maple syrup, a fried breakfast potato dish with exquisite seasoning. The next day, a lovely fruit salad with walnuts and blue cheese sprinkles and an elegant omelette, with another potato dish. We also really enjoyed the fresh juice and the aromatic French press coffee. My descriptions cannot match the quality of the offerings. Please check out the photographs. Finally, I have to comment that we have never ever seen such attention to our dietary needs as Paul displayed. My daughter had explained beforehand that her parents were both on strict salt-free diets, and Paul constantly adjusted our breakfast to accommodate our needs. He prepared our meals without salt and even changed the planned quiche to a delicious omelette and stuffed it with salt-free ingredients to be sure that we not only enjoyed our breakfast, but that it was diet-friendly. Looking for things to do? The day we arrived, we explored and shopped in downtown Brattleboro. That night we had a fantastic gourmet dinner at T. J. Buckley's. The next day we visited a number of terrific places: the Grafton Village Cheese Company, the Vermont Country Store (both locations--in Weston and Rockingham), and the Friesians of Majesty in Townshend for a incredible sleigh ride that was both relaxing and thrilling, capped by a fascinating discussion about the history of the Friesians by the owner. It was a Valentine's weekend beyond any we had ever experienced---three days and two nights at the romantic, elegant, unforgettable Inn at Putney Road. We can't wait to do it again!

We are longtime visitors to Brattleboro visiting for the 1st time since the 2020 pandemic started. The grounds, house and interior are elegant and lovely. For us playing cards, enjoying wine and chocolates in our room and delicious gourmet breakfasts made by the host were simple and perfect. We plan to come again in the summer when we can do some hiking at Wantastiquet and kayaking nearby!

We stayed here a few weeks ago for our 20th anniversary. This place is amazing! Breakfast is gourmet and top-notch. We had massages on-site. Our room was spacious, clean, and quite lovely. The grounds are beautiful, and there's a lake a short walk down the path. Brattleboro is beautiful, and we got to see the leaves turn colors. I'm enamored of this place- my husband keeps trying to convince me that we can't move to Vermont and live at the inn, but a girl can dream. One hundred percent recommend. Please take me with you!

The Inn on Pitney Road is a very special place. I planned a trip to Brattleboro from NYC after finding myself with a very rare three days off in a row. A quick search lead me to the inn and I booked the Blue Room for two nights. I came up to hike, read and generally unplug. I was able to do exactly that. The inn is tucked away on Putney road and just a ten minute walk into town. The decor is beautiful and the accommodations very comfortable. There are books everywhere to knock off the shelf and thumb through as well as a really great selection of classic DVD's to watch in your room. Paul, the innkeeper and host, was very kind and accommodating. He was able to provide excellent advice on nearby hikes and places to eat. There were very thoughtful touches throughout, like tea and coffee setups everywhere, snacks in your room, super comfy couches in the sitting area and a fun pool table. I am already looking forward to coming back to stay here. It was a true delight.

My wife and I stayed in a carriage house room separate from the main house. Very comfortable and clean room with a nice jacuzzi tub and a quiet, romantic gas fireplace. The grounds are beautiful and the main house is very comfortable. Within walking distance of downtown and has hiking trail access around the lake. John and Cindy who run the B&B were great and make their B&B a fantastically hospitable home. We stayed for 5 days/4 nights. Breakfasts are great.

What a delightful inn. The rooms are beautiful, the bed was comfortable, the main rooms charming. But what really sets this lovely inn apart from the others is the service. The innkeepers are charming and helpful, attentive and kind. They are the ideal hosts. And the breakfast? Incredible.

The house is just lovely, as is the backyard. The walls are filled with original artwork and loads of books and movies to enjoy. And there were candy dishes everywhere! Which was a problem after the first day, since I couldn't stop snacking... Anything you may need (or forgotten) is in the room--some nicer b&bs will surprise you by really skimping on the toiletries--that's not the case here. What really makes this place exceptional is the breakfast. We weren't in Brattleboro for long, and had dinner at two of the nicer establishments in town. Our breakfasts at the Inn were better than both; and honestly, the best we've had at a b&b. Buckwheat crepes filled with yogurt and spiced apples, asparagus and herbed goat cheese omelettes (with just the right balance of cheese; you could still taste the other ingredients), hot muffins, fresh pressed coffee; and each meal started with prepared fruit (mint and honey pear salad and bruleed grapefruit.) I could not believe these dishes weren't prepared by a professional chef. We'll be back!

This is the second time in less than a month I stayed at this wonderful bed and breakfast. The Inn is beautiful and in a perfect location, walking distance to downtown and hiking trails and kayaking right nearby. The backyard is beautiful and the Inn has lots of relaxation space. Innkeepers Paul and Judy are super accommodating and friendly. The breakfasts are very delicious and quite unique. Highly recommend this place anytime - and given the times important to note they have taken great safety precautions. Everything sparkling clean - sanitizer everywhere and all masked.

I stayed at the Inn of Putney Road a few weeks before the lockdown began. It also seems that i was a guest at the inn right before new ownership took over. My review is based on my stay during Presidents week 2020. I was more than satisfied with my stay. It's a very small inn with only 4 rooms in the house. I happened to have been the only guest when i was there which was nice. It was as If i had my own space to myself outside of my room. The breakfasts in the morning were homemade and delicious. John, who was the breakfast chef was astute when he noticed i didn't eat the bacon and made sure to make Turkey bacon on the next day (although i don't eat turkey bacon either but it was the thought and paying attention to details that count). Also on a VERY nice comfortable weather day, you can stroll right into town to the main street. Although it was very Cold and snowing when i was there, so walking was not on my agenda then. I would definitely come back and experience brattleboro in another season so I can see different sights.

Great place to spend a weekend getaway! Rooms are all great, owners are crazy nice and breakfast is to die for!

Very welcoming and quant. Breakfast was amazing. I have a few dietary limitations and they were extremely accommodating.

My fiance and I stayed here for a long weekend in the lovely Red Maple Room, in the carriage house off from the main establishment. We are people who appreciate a cozy and quiet setting and this was so delightful. The room is so cute, and it has a perfect hot tub and fire place, great after returning from a brisk hike nearby. The grounds themselves are so pretty and sit just at the edge of the West River inlet, with a beautiful walking trail along the water just behind the property. The great treat of staying here were the owners, John and Cindy. We came on Amtrak from New York City, John was so accommodating and picked us up from the station. They both were sweet, inviting, generous, hilarious hosts, and John makes the best breakfasts each morning, and Cindy introduced us to the genius concept of "Boston Tea" :-) . There was a lot to explore and appreciate in Brattleboro and nearby (if you don't mind the splurge, there's an amazing meal to be had at T.J. Buckley's). But both my fiance and I wish we had left more time to hang out with John and Cindy! I'm gushing, but they were very polite and attentive. As far as the Brattleboro scene goes, we came here for a quiet New England autumn weekend and it was golden-leafed and exactly what we wanted. The town has plenty of great places to eat and cute shops. Nearby, there are wonderful farms, great distilleries, and an impressive glass blowing shop. Overall, a great getaway that we would love to repeat.

This is beautiful spot, highly recommended for a special get away. Secluded inside beautiful, tranquil gardens and greenery, this beautiful stately house is minutes from downtown Brattleboro which has many attractions, including a great variety of restaurants. The inn keepers could not have been nicer, providing friendly help, a gourmet plentiful breakfast and a meticulously Covid-sensitive environment. This inn is under new management and they have embraced hospitality thoughtful care and professionalism. Great place!

We spent a wonderful long weekend at the B&B, and it couldn't have been more perfect. Quiet, full of beautiful period details, and lovely hosts. The breakfasts are a wonderful surprise. We stayed in the Ripley Suite which is almost like having your own studio apartment.

This is a very charming place in a beautiful setting, and just a brief walk to the heart of Brattleboro. John and Cindy welcomed us warmly, offered a great breakfast and, in general, made our brief stay very comfortable. Among the features of this inn is a large and accessible book collection on a vast range of topics.
