I stayed at the Village Inn for a short break with my husband in March, and we were seriously impressed with this B&B. From the beautiful decor, to the amazing breakfasts, and the warm welcome of the owners, this place is hard to beat. I am not always a fan of period decor, but here it was done sympathetically and tastefully, and really added a luxurious feel to the place. I do not agree that it was dark or noisy as one reviewer has suggested. Our room was technically a suite, with a lovely little sitting room, with flat screen tv. The best feature was the amazingly comfortable bed which is without doubt the best I have slept on. The whirlpool bath was also fabulous. We also had a chance to have a peek at the rooms which were not in use, and would have happily stayed in any of them as they were all spacious and tastefully done. There are also additional areas to hang out - from the cosy tavern downstairs to the lovely sitting areas on the ground floor and upstairs. The breakfasts were wonderful, with 3 courses consisting of freshly made baked goods, juice, fruit and a different entree each morning. David and Evelyn are perfect hosts and tread the line perfectly between being warm and friendly, and professional. It is an easy 2 minute stroll from the Village Inn to the centre of Woodstock which has a nice pub and restaurants. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Village Inn, and can't wait to go back.

My better half and I pulled into the Village Inn not knowing what to expect and were completely blown away by the beautiful layout, ambience, and charming hosts. David and Evelyn have built a home that embodies the timeless warmth and quirky character that Vermont is known for. Every square inch in the house contained beauty. The bed was HEAVEN, the food was delicious, and the bathrooms were built with luxury in mind. I've never felt so at home so far away from home. I'd recommend this gorgeous little B&B to anyone looking to slow it down and really breathe in their surroundings.

First of all we were completely taken by the charm of what we saw online and the charm of old world details of the decor. on arrival we were greeted by david and evelyn who are incredibly sweet and truly welcoming. the home is beautifully brought back to life and tastefully "olde" and instantaneously comfortable, far surpassing what we saw online.. we stayed in room 5 on the first floor. it was great to see that the attention that was put into the reception rooms continued to the suites. we had an opporunity to walk through the rest of the house and check out the other rooms that weren't occupied and every room is different and incredibly cozy and inviting. breakfast is U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E. Evelyn makes everything from scratch. nothing prepackaged right down to the bread. we checked out other b&b's in woodstock and believe me they leave alot to be desired, so DO NOT waste your time looking anywhere else if you are in woodstock. unfortunately we only got to meet spanky and alfalfa (david and evelyn's sausage dogs) once, as they are kept in david and evelyns place. they are a delightful addition to the truly homely feel of village inn. it seemed obvious that every other guest that was at the inn during our stay was equally enamored with this place and our hosts. this may sound like raving, but it is simply the truth.. check it out for yourself.

We stayed at the Village Inn in March of 2008 after reading the long list of postive reviews here. We paid extra for the best room - Room 1, seeking a nice weekend away from the city. And while I agree with many statements that the Village Inn is a pleasant experience, my wife and I both agreed that all of the postivie reviews are a bit much. For the high price, we expected more.. .
The positives: Very nice owners, a cute little inn, well kept, great breakfasts. Room 1 is big, it has a TV and a large bathroom, and its own private entrance. Its close to town.
The negatives: First and foremost, Room 1 is directly underneath the owners apartment. The owners have 2 small dogs. The dogs and the owners get up at 5am. I know, because they woke me up both mornings with the pitter patter of footsteps and banging of doors. The walls are thin (like in many B&Bs) and we complained tothe oweners about noise. The decor is interesting, but is very dark and outdated...Imagine the picture on the website about 3 shades darker. The Inn is on a busy road. There's not too much to do at this inn other than hang in your room, which would have been fine if the room was warmer, better lit, there was more privacy, etc.
Bottom line; If you are really into B&Bs, and the experience of meeting the owners, and a good breakfast etc. this is may be a good option. If you're looking for a real, luxurious weekend getaway, I'd consider other options. And if you're a light sleeper or want seclusion from noise, Room 1 does not solve all of your problems. Maybe I am just not a B&B fan, but this was not worth the price.
