I stayed at A Village Bed & Breakfast in late November, 2012. My short noticed booking resulted in splitting my stay in the Garden Suite on the first floor and Katie's Room on the second floor. I found the Garden Suite very roomy and liked the large private bathroom. I also liked that it is more private due to its location in the back of the house. Katie's room is also very nice and cozy, several large windows that lets in lots of morning light. Katie's Room shares hall bathroom with the main office and Emily's room, which is the other guest room on the second floor. In general, I found both rooms to be pleasant and clean, and not lacking in amenities.

Breakfast is continental, and very generous. There are lots of fresh fruits, cereals, breads, pastries, cheeses, preserves, yoghurts, eggs, coffee, juice, milk, and soy and rice milk alternatives. A Village B&B does not serve hot breakfasts.

I found the location to be convenient for my purposes, since it was near to the Newton Highlands Station and local businesses and restaurants. I also find that the area is quiet in the evenings and feel safe in the neighborhood. There is a nice restaurant at the corner of the block called 51 Lincoln which I enjoyed very much, especially with their Tuesday special on oysters.

There were two quirks I thought worth mentioning. One is the parking situation where the long driveway means that guests must park in a way that allowed everyone to enter and exit, or someone will end up getting blocked. The other is that there is a bell that tolls on the hour every hour, and I wasn't sure whether it was coming from outside or inside the house. I suspect that it is from outside. I didn't bother to ask, since it wasn't an issue with me.

I enjoyed my stay very much. I found the my host and proprietor, Claudia, very personal and accommodating. She made sure that I wasn't wanting for anything, and was flexible in arranging my stay there. I would recommend anyone who are planning to stay in Newton to consider A Village B&B. I will stay there again in the future.

Why stay at a big hotel chain when you can stay at a beautiful, quiet bed and breakfast for a more than perfect rate? I'm so glad that I chose to stay here. Claudia was very friendly and nice to talk to before we left for the day and when we came back at night. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

We stayed in the ground floor suite which has a king size bed, private bathroom, and an enclosed screened-in porch. The room is furnished nicely and has a desk with outlets to charge your electronics. A very large flat-screen TV is on one wall. There is a mini fridge as well as controls for heat/air conditioning.The bathroom has a tub with a separate shower and natural products (shampoo/conditioner/soap) are provided for guests. Claudia gives guests a card in which they can mark off which breakfast items they prefer. We were offered: coffee, juices, bagels and spreads, biscotti, scones, hard-boiled eggs, cereals, and fresh fruit. Also, this B&B is about 1 block away from the Newton Highlands "T" stop, making it easy to commute into Boston.

Easy access to the "T" , highway and local neighborhoods. We stayed on the 3rd floor "Penthouse Suite" which was spacious and offered us the convenience of a kitchen, sitting area and private bath for our extended visit. Extremely clean, comfortable rooms and a wide variety of items for the continental breakfast.
Claudia was very helpful, friendly and quite interesting
