Swift House Inn

The rooms, the staff and the food were all outstanding. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. The owner and the staff went above and beyond to help make our visit to see our daughter at Middlebury a great experience.

Inn is beautifully decorated and well kept. Room was comfortable and bathroom was modern and spotless. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious with lots of great choices. We also had a wonderful dinner in the dining room. We definitely enjoyed our stay here!

We stayed three nights in The Mansfield Room in the Carriage House as part of a two week New England road trip.|Our room was in the Carriage House which is located at the back of the large property with its own parking area, a 30 second drive from the Gate House where check in is done, and a 30 second walk from the main house which also houses Jessica’s restaurant where breakfast is taken.||Access is down one flight of stairs or from a path that winds through the garden to a semi private patio. Weather was a bit chilly for sitting outside but it would be delightful in summer. The room is large with a comfortable king size bed, a good sized bathroom with shower over bath and plenty of hanging space. No outside noise that we could hear – we slept well.||We had a superb meal one evening in Jessica’s and enjoyed a chat with owner Matthew from whom this is clearly a labour of love. The town of Middlebury is also delightful and well worth a morning mooch.||We thoroughly enjoyed the efficiency and friendliness of the staff but it is very much an inn rather than a B&B with staff in branded casual uniform and a set way of doing things. And therein lies our one issue – the buffet breakfast. On arrival we had to book times for each morning with everything done through Open Table which meant three texts in quick succession as we were asking questions. Business like and it may work for them but I got the impression that people were turning up when they felt like it. Ultimately this meant that food ran out or wasn’t as warm as it should have been. Staff were lovely and would happily make you an omelette or scrambled eggs instead so why not offer a plated main course in the first place?||Having said that, it certainly wouldn’t put us off staying here again and we thoroughly recommend the Swift House Inn.

We took advantage of a brief swing through VT and NH to stay only one night in Middlebury (wish it had been more). What a gem of a place! Charming, comfortable, quiet and well maintained. And it also has the added advantage of a wonderful restaurant, Jessica's. A complete, self-contained, wonderful experience. I think this is a true reflection of what New England Charm is that we have heard or often read about. If you have the opportunity, don't miss out

A beautiful inn in a beautiful area. Location is excellent and the staff does an incredible job. Rooms are very nice and beds are super comfortable. The chef is outstanding and his wife is an incredible mixologist( crests her own amazing drinks) glad I don't live near the inn as I would be eating out a lot ( there) and drinking more !! Not to be missed!!!

My husband and I just stayed for a few nights the weekend of our wedding. Upon arrival, the staff were welcoming and made us feel right at home. We got dinner at Jessica’s the night we arrived and got to enjoy beautiful views and delicious cocktails. And I of course cannot forget to mention how incredible the breakfast staff is. After our first morning, the staff greeted us with our usual drinks. They make you feel right at home. I already am looking forward to the next time we get to stay. Not to mention the grounds are beautiful!

We loved staying at the Swift Inn for a recent wedding celebration. The property is superbly maintained with beautiful grounds and comfy guest suites. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The morning breakfast is also very well done with a select menu to kick off your day.

The room was very spacious and meticulously clean. Best of all was the breakfast. Great food and staff. Enjoyed the outdoor seating and the view of the grounds. Will definitely back. If you are visiting the area I’m not sure that you could find a better alternative.
