Inn on Putney Road Bed and Breakfast

The Inn on Putney Road exceeded our expectations. Wonderful room, furnished nicely, cozy, with plenty of space and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was nicely done and other guests we met were a 'plus'. Location just outside of town is convenient yet quiet and nicely sited. The parlors and other shared spaces were especially nice with all the special things to make it homey and inviting. A perfect place to spend Christmas Eve and Day while visiting family in the area. Already planning to come back next year !!

We needed a quick trip out of town and chose a couple of locations in Vermont and New York . Brattleboro being one of them. We were seeing historic sites and stopped here for 2 nights. We loved the feel of the house. ||Lovely fireplace with a cup of coffee or cocoa in the early evenings. I enjoyed the afternoon of painting/drawing in the sunroom on the second floor. |Being January, the snow was Beautiful!! Just what we wanted, to cozy up and make it an early night- but that’s what we needed. ||We enjoyed the thrift/vintage shops!

I chose the Inn due to its proximity to downtown shopping and it's quaint appearance. We were welcomed even before arriving and the check in process was simple and efficient. ||The Inn has the charm of a house built almost 100 years ago and the hosts were extremely accommodating, assisting with anything we needed. I spent a lot of time sitting by the main fireplace reading a book, getting warm after a cold day of sightseeing. I enjoyed meeting people at breakfast but also having the space to dine without feeling the pressure to converse with others. ||Speaking of breakfast. Both mornings we were there the breakfast was UNBELIEVABLE. Fresh, delicious, hearty, surprising (a wonderful salad for the first course), and hot right out of the kitchen. We never ate again until dinner!||The electric fireplace in our room lent a bit of ambiance on a cold winters night but it also was just enough of a heat source to keep the room cozy. ||I loved our entire weekend and would stay there again without hesitation.

Lovely stay at Inn on Putney Road. It's a old but well kept up building with very comfortable beds, well appointed rooms. By well appointed they have thought of everything: coffee, snacks, water, tea, even little details like feminine hygiene products. The common space is cozy with a fire, and coffee/tea/cookies all day. HOWEVER, the staff are just delightful and go above and beyond. Both Marie and Shana are so helpful, DELICIOUS cooks, and go out of their way to make the stay special.

My niece and I just spent 18 days in New England staying three nights each in six different locations. Our stay at The Inn on Putney Road was, by far, our favorite. My niece stayed in The Mountain View Room and I stayed in The Ripley Suite. Both rooms were absolutely beautiful. Each had everything you could ask for. While I enjoyed the room with the separate living area, she chose to spend her evenings after our daily adventures in her room enjoying everything it had to offer. We typically don’t eat breakfast but we made an exception while at The Inn on Putney Road as Paul’s breakfast are not to be missed. He must have been a professional chef in his prior life. Another plus is the inn is located in a quiet area away from all the touristy areas - easy in, easy out, and sufficient parking. I would highly recommend The Inn on Putney Road if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, uniquely beautiful, well-appointed place to stay during your visit to Vermont.

Lovely comfortable room, warm, well-equipped. As usual, we really enjoyed our stay.|It enhanced our holiday experience in Brattleboro. We especially liked the gas fireplace.

My wife and I stayed here for a single night in the winter. The room temperature was jacked all the way up making it nearly impossible to sleep. Despite setting the thermostat to 60 the room simply would not cool down. I am fairly certain our nieghbors had the same issue as well due to the amount of noise they generated. It sounded like they were assembling some for of medieval tourture device over there but I think they were just trying to open an ancient window. This is by far the loudest most uncomfortable room I have stayed at in B&B, and for the price that is not what you want to hear. We never met the hosts which was disappointing since I had questions about the property. The only staff we met was the single person who served breakfast, she was friendly and attentive and breakfast was good. Sadly the two hours of sleep we got here pretty much destroyed our energy for our weekend getaway.

Stayed a few nights and loved the staff, food, location and our room in the Carriage house was cozy. Highly recommend hanging out in the living room of the main house with a bottle of wine, a book and some snacks! Hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor spaces and stay in the garden view room.

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.
