My husband and I stayed here to celebrate his 40th birthday this past weekend. The B&B exceeded our expectations. It was clean, quiet, with beautiful decor and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Our room was quite large which was a nice surprise. It was decorated to feel very cozy and with comfort in mind. Breakfast each morning was the highlight of our experience there. The yogurt parfait was so good we ordered it both mornings! The location was also hard to beat; right on Main Street in the heart of downtown Great Barrington. Highly recommend nearby Fuel Coffee shop, GB Eats, and Soho Creamery for ice cream. We can’t wait to come back!

Property's Favorite Review
Awesome hospitality and attention to detail. Carrie helped us with planning for dining out and for scheduling our breakfast. We slept like babies on the spacious king bed and we’re so impressed by all the features of the bathroom including a jacuzzi tub and roomy shower. Santiago was so friendly in his dining facility and an amazing chef for our breakfast. We weren’t sure how a B&B would work on the 3rd floor of a city building but it was great with both outdoor stairways and an elevator. When in our suite, we couldn’t tell that anyone else was there! We’d go back in a heartbeat!

Beautiful little hotel with a phenomenal breakfast and even better service. William was so kind and helped us with recommendations in the area. Location is perfect since it is right in the town and only 20-25 minutes from Lenox which is also fun. 10/10 would recommend.

We stayed just one night at this unique property and were impressed with how clean and organized everything was. Great communications via email and text kept us up to date on when our room was ready, parking, directions, breakfast etc.. Free parking with a nice exit directly to the main street from our room. We will stay again for sure in the future.

The Barrington is a beautiful little gem in downtown Great Barrington. Our room was decorated with eclectic, intriguing antiques; it was also quiet and rigorously clean. Located fifteen minutes from Stockbridge center, it makes a great basecamp for activities in the southern Berkshires, but its location in downtown Great Barrington means that you can walk right out the door to a number of great restaurants and pleasant shops.

We stayed in the Rustic Retreat which was a large room with a very comfortable bed, large bathroom with walk in shower, a small refrigerator and plenty of storage room. The room was clean, beautifully decorated and smelled fantastic...the whole hotel smelled like a spa! It had a relaxing spa scent in the room and in the hallways. Everyone we dealt with was very pleasant. The elevator from the parking lot made it very easy to get our luggage in and out. The hotel is located right in the heart of Great Barrington, making it very easy to walk to dinner, shopping, etc. Breakfast, which was brought to our room at our requested time, was a delicious continental breakfast with muffins, croissants, yogurt, juice, coffee and more. There was a nice table and chairs by the floor to ceiling windows in our room which gave us a great spot to sit and eat a very relaxing breakfast. We'd definitely consider staying again and would highly recommend this hotel. If I had to struggle to find any suggestions for improvement...maybe brighter lighting in the bathroom for makeup application?
