Manor House Inn

A restorative, peaceful getaway! We stayed at the Manor House Inn for a quick anniversary getaway. Just 2.5 hours outside of NYC, the Inn offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. We stayed in the Country French room which offered a nice view of the property and a large soaking tub with luxurious amenities from the linens to the toiletries. The property is charming and thoughtful with attention to detail at its core. We enjoyed playing board games by the fire place with a hot cup of tea at night. We took a hike at Haystack Mountain during the day, which was a short drive from the Inn. The location is ideal being walking distance from the town center and various trails/hiking spots. The Manor House Inn has something to offer for anyone looking to relax, restore, and explore the surrounding beauties! We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed everything about our relaxing two night stay. We enjoyed walking the boardwalk in town, hiking to a local waterfall and reading in the parlor near the fireplace. Our room was well equipped, clean and comfortable. The breakfasts are substantial and delicious. The hosts are charming and knowledgeable. Hope to visit again soon.

What a wonderful place the Manor House Inn is! Our hosts Blair and Fell were so gracious and kind and the house is simply stunning. Blair had all sorts of suggestions of what to do in Norfolk and surrounding area. We explored the town (an easy walk from the inn) after an amazing breakfast from Chef Fell. The beautiful library, Yale Summer School of Music and the Ice Box cafe for a well deserved latte were among the highlights. After another amazing breakfast, we had to leave but we will definitely be back to explore more of what Litchfield County has to offer and stay at the restful and relaxing Manor House Inn.

What can I say? Our experience at Manor House was perfect. We had rescheduled our visit on numerous occasions and the staff courteously accommodated us. I have never been to this type of bed/breakfast, and was wonderfully surprised when I saw it as I was greeted by a beautiful estate, and courteous staff. The innkeepers were kind, pleasant, and welcoming. The interior of the inn is quite beautiful, and I was reminded of being in a country estate in Europe while staying there. This place is for those who want to escape the rigors of technology, and stress to escape to the country. I was so relaxed I didn't want to leave, and each room has its own theme. I personally can't wait to return to this hidden gem. Mark my words you won't be disappointed - this place is a winner.

Our recent stay at The Manor House Inn was perfect! What a hidden gem! Blair, one of the innkeepers, was warm and welcoming. She gave us a tour of the home, pointing out interesting historical details. We stayed in the “ Country French “ room. It was very clean and comfortable. We loved the big windows overlooking the beautiful backyard, and the soaking tub was a treat! The room was spacious, quiet, and the bed very comfortable. Fell, the chef, has created a menu that exceeded our expectations (and we have stayed at many bed and breakfasts). The food was not only creative, hearty, and delicious, but beautifully presented. The Inn’s location is ideal. The town center is a short walk away, where you’ll find a pub, coffee shop, or even attend a performance at Infinity Hall. The surrounding countryside is filled with activities, including hiking, antique shopping, farm markets, and breweries/distilleries. The only issue we had was deciding whether to be out and about, or enjoying the beautiful and peaceful spaces at the Inn. It’s the perfect getaway. We can’t wait to return!

We came back to the Manor House Inn this summer and stayed three nights this time. The room with private bath was impeccably clean, spacious, well appointed with a reading area, very ample storage and all the amenities one could want. Downstairs we enjoyed spending time in the central and sun rooms especially, reading, playing games, and chatting with the inn keepers and other guests. Coffee, tea, and fresh baked cookies were available at all hours. Breakfast was hot, fresh, and beautiful, the service very attentive and welcoming. The entire staff was very concerned with every aspect of our stay, including providing advice for exploring the local scene, like hiking, the library, food and drink, and the farmers' market.

The Manor House is a stunning example of Gilded Age elegance, tucked away in a peaceful New England town. The sophisticated architecture and furnishings make you feel like you have gone back in time. The breakfast was delicious and I was impressed by the attention to detail of amenities offered. The whole stay was incredibly relaxing.

The Manor House Inn must be one of the best kept secrets in Connecticut! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home and relaxed, welcomed by such an engaging and kind innkeeper. Such deep thoughtfulness has gone into every detail of the home, from the delicious homemade caramels in the front to the Alice in Wonderland pictures throughout to the beautiful guidebook offering details on everything you need to know about nearby activities, restaurants and Inn history. My husband and I came for a relaxing weekend getaway and so enjoyed spending time in the common areas playing games and walking around the grounds and nearby historic down while talking. The rooms are incredibly comfortable with everything you need at your fingertips. And the delicious afternoon cookies and coffee and homemade morning breakfast were delightful! We plan to come back again soon and recommend you check out this gem!

We booked a room here for a weekend away, and we're so glad we did! It was a cold and rainy weekend, and Manor House was perfectly cozy. There is just enough to do in the area for a weekend, and we also enjoyed lounging by the fire in the great room and in the refreshing sun room. There's a little kitchenette with coffee and tea to drink at the manor or take to go. It also has a mini fridge where we were able to chill the wine we picked up from Sunset Meadows on the way (we also highly recommend you stop there if you're driving up from the south). Breakfast was fresh fruit and a veggie frittata with roasted potatoes. Yum!

We just had several guests stay at the Inn. Fantastic place, so warm and welcoming. Highly recommending a stay...

I loved absolutely everything about my experience here. My husband I stayed two nights, we were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The building is *incredible*--you step back in time and it's all so very well maintained. They have thought of absolutely everything, and there are amenities throughout. Kathy is a delight, welcoming and an incredible cook. I already miss the breakfasts. We stayed in the Morgan room and it was perfect--the deck, the giant tub, and the comfy bed. We also did the Beer Lovers Package, and it was so much fun (my favorite part might be the bottle opener shaped like a key). Norfolk is a quiet, beautiful part of the state, close to a bunch of restaurants, breweries, and wineries. I highly recommend going to Manor House, and I look forward to when we can return.

Very nice and comfortable older converted mansion. We stayed in a large room with a fireplace that was so comfortable that the couple we were travelling with joined us nightly for drinks and a snack in the room. The location is decent if you're spending time in Norfolk, breakfast is wonderful and there's a simple charm to the historic beauty of this inn. Our hosts were delightful and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. This was just a long weekend getaway for us so we didn't take advantage of everything the Inn has to offer, but what we did experience was very good. We highly recommend this one!

Wanted a little get away for our anniversary-we found this little gem sometime in December and ended up spending the night. It was wonderful! The inn owners were so sweet and ended up upgrading our room. The place was clean and spacious, and the brunch the next morning was delicious. I felt like I was visiting family. Not to mention, we ordered strawberries and champagne for the night and when we got back to the room for dinner they were already there waiting for us. Highly recommend spending a night at this Berkshire gem.

We stumbled upon this architectural masterpiece while looking for a place close to the Infiniti Theater. What a gorgeous building. Beautiful wood, luxurious beds, amazing period detail and interesting artwork. The best was that the host was kind enough to give us an upgrade once we realized that we could get a discount since we were going to the theater. Nice town, nice host, nice location to the theater, nice price. What more Can I say?

A gorgeous, quaint B&B. The bedroom we had had a huge bathtub and a great electric fireplace. Very romantic!! What a great place to spend a quiet fall weekend. Apparently there is hiking nearby. The breakfast in the morning was homemade and served to us. The options were an egg scramble or berry pancakes. Both were delicious. The coffee was fresh! There is even an area with wine glasses and complimentary wine downstairs. Loved the sitting room and all of the books on the bookshelf! My one complaint was the lack of bathroom privacy. You didn't really want to go #2 while you were there hahah!! They did have a downstairs bathroom near the entrance however ;) The innkeeper was out of sight, but there when we needed him. He was very polite. We were only one of two couples there so it was very romantic for a night away!

We LOVE tudors so picked this and from the outside and the lovely space downstairs, you will not be disappointed. The town is soo charming too. Take my word for it though that no matter how cheap/frugal you are do NOT and I repeat NOT book the cheapest room here. In my case it was the Cottage Room. The b&b owners laughed when they showed us to our room. My bf being 6'5 tall - really too tall for the sloping ceilings of this room. I got stuck on the side of the bed where the ceiling slopes down so far that I felt rather suffocated during the night. Really, it was bad. Tiny. I mean we live in tiny Manhattan studios and this was wayy tinier. Really it was a room fit for 2 dollhouse sized people. The linens were also ripped - torn pillowcase, sheet, plus the sheet would not stay on the mattress. Should have upgraded but we were too lazy. They did tell us to look in the other rooms, as they were unoccupied and all the other rooms looked spacious and gorgeous. So my fault for being a cheapskate. At $175 with tax per night really this room was a total disgrace. I hope management takes note of the issues. Upgrade the linens.. It is one thing to stick people in a shoebox but another not to provide the expected quality of bedding. The breakfast was okay. Best thing by far- the homemade banana chocolate chip loaf bread!

Such a beautiful and peaceful setting. Gorgeous and unique rooms, gracious hospitality, and colorful gardens. Thanks for another great visit!

Perfect Anniversary Stay. We haven't been to the Manor House in more than 10 years. Still Perfect, with new innkeepers that know how to be warm and gracious. The pancake breakfast with local bacon and local maple syrup was particularly good. The room with a modern sauna tub was also great, comfortable and nicely furnished.

This historic inn was designed by Spofford, who built the Underground n London. The room that I slept had a bed that is next to the roof. The sitting room had a grand piano, and a fireplace. The staircase has paneling on its side. I liked the blueberry pancakes that the innkeeper served for breakfast.

My wife and I were in Norfolk to see a concert at Infinity Hall. The Manor House Inn is just a short walk to the concert Hall and the perfect place to stay if you plan on spending the night after a show. Kirsten and Adam are the owners your hosts and couldn't be nicer. You are made to feel welcome from the moment you arrive to the minute you leave. The place is a huge Newport style mansion with big rooms and there are beautiful details throughout. The breakfast they serve is really good and you will not walk away hungry! Our room was comfortable and had a very nice wood burning fireplace. We'll go back to stay for sure!

We just spent a wonderful weekend with family at the Manor House. Tucked away on a quiet street, it's a classically beautiful home with gorgeous grounds and a wonderful family to that runs it. From deliciously prepared breakfasts to an excellent catered dinner, you will eat well here. They also have several rooms with lavish bathtubs, even one that fit my 6'1" frame (which is rare), and a small spa room with a superb local professional that can come by as needed. If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing weekend getaway, you should definitely take a look at the Manor House.

Such a wonderful location and a beautiful Inn. Visited this Inn for a couple days away with a friend and we were not disappointed. The historic Inn had wonderful period details - the windows were amazing! Our room had a fireplace which made it all the more cozy and relaxing. The Innkeepers are warm and friendly, and very helpful. Breakfast was delicious and all locally sourced ingredients. I could not have asked for a better, more relaxing weekend!

Lovely property with beautiful architecture. The stone wall-sized fireplace in the sitting room was mesmerizing. Wine available at no charge, books galore...what a great place to sit and relax! Breakfast was delicious, we had the 2-room 3rd floor suite (1 double bed and 2 twins) plus private shower/bath. Managers of the property are informative, warm and friendly.

Spent the weekend in Norfolk...and had a blast. First, this town is expensive. It's a vacation spot and it's beautiful. There's not a whole lot to do other than enjoy music, the beautiful scenery, the nice people and pretty good food. Rick and Shelia are the managers of this B&B and they were awesome. I had called a few days before and spoke with Shelia about a possible room upgrade. We had Le Chambre and I wanted anything nicer and bigger to treat my wife to. It wasn't too small but it needed a chair in the room. I was mislead by one of the pictures for it. It looked like you could sit in a nook near a window (but that was in the hallway right outside the room). There was a room on the 3rd floor but I opted against it. When we arrived, we were satisfied with the room but it wasn't anything special for the price...but it did just fine. I went out to take pictures of the house and when in the hallway I noticed a door to another room open. Just as Rick was coming out of showing other guests to their room he said "you can go in and look, it's the master bedroom." I did, it was very nice. I responded with "If you have any cancellations, let me know" (knowing that the place was booked up this weekend and it was unlikely, I figured I'd try anyway). Within 15 minutes, Rick came back up to our room and said "you're not gonna believe this, but the people who had the Master bedroom (THE SPOFFORD ROOM) just called in and cancelled. It's yours if you want it?" SOLD The entire place is dated but charming (this happens with houses that are a few hundred years old and it's expected). The bed wasn't the most comfortable but it was good enough. We got back late from the show and I wanted to start a fire in the fireplace but there wasn't any kindling and only 3 smaller pieces of wood. That was a small bummer. There is a nice deck off of the room but it's off the bathroom. The bathroom was nice and the shower was enjoyable. The next morning we had a great breakfast courtesy of the managers. One of the best Omelettes I've ever had and my wife enjoyed the french toast and fruit. Did I mention they leave wine out for you to help yourself, as well as coffee? The grounds are beautiful and just up the road (about a half mile) from Infinity Hall and the Woodcreek Bistro. Also a close drive to Haystack Mountain, which is a must see. All in all, don't hesitate too book here. The grounds and the management (Rick and Shelia) are worth it.

A great place to stay if you are seeing a show at Infinity hall. It's a beautiful 5 minute walk to the hall. The new innkeepers are great and the B&B is just beautiful. I can't wait to go back during the autumn leaf peeping season. Breakfast was super and we felt like the house belonged to us for the weekend.

This is a superb B&B. From the outside the house is very impressive. It only gets better once you walk inside. The innkeeper, Karl , is very helpful and does a fine job running the Inn. The rooms are gorgeous, the grounds spacious, the breakfast excellent and the location ideal, particularly if you're going to a show at Infinity Hall. The Manor House website states their inn is one of the best Bed & Breakfasts in CT, we've stayed at many B&B's throughout the US and Europe and this is definitely one of the best!

I had an event at Lime Rock park and needed to book some rooms for clients on short notice. All of the staff were extremely helpful and even assisted me in preparing a special gift upon my clients' arrival. Beautiful views and lovely rooms, I would recommend this Inn to anyone who needs a relaxing place to stay in the area. We booked the country French room, Chalet suite, Lincoln room, and English room which were all charming and comfortable.

We spent the weekend at the Manor House and found it to be so perfect we had to do a review. The Innkeepers: Chef Kurt and Kathy are so welcoming and friendly and just so likeable. We felt at home. The breakfasts were unbelievable - large portions, baked goods, fruit, the meats were the best - smoked sausage one morning and thick bacon the next. Two choices offered both days and all different fresh fruit or yogurt parfait. Walking distance to town yet you felt so peaceful and quiet - sits on several acres - we felt like we were in another country. Can't wait to go back. Loved the whole experience. Thanks Chef and Kathy - you were great! Jobs well done!
