In the fall the Tollgate Hill Inn and restaurant are an idyllic setting in a New England town. Nestled in Litchfield, Connecticut, the inn is a historic property with a cozy restaurant on the grounds. Our room could have used a bit of updating, one of the beds had a loose board and my friend slept on a slant all night. Other than that, I would highly recommend this inn and restaurant. The food was great and the ambience couldn't be better. Be sure to visit nearby Kent State Park with an awesome waterfall and hiking trails, and the village of Kent has some wonderful shops.

Tollgate Hill Inn was exactly what I was looking for! I went for a one night stay during the week to get away from my crazy and very noisy life. When I arrived I was greeted by the inn keeper. She was very friendly and helpful. After showing me to my room, she made several recomendations for dinner. My room was both comfortable and quiet. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a quiet retreat.

The Tollgate Hill Inn is certainly a charming place to stay. My family and I stayed in the School House at the beginning of the month for a few days and found the room both warm and inviting. It had enough room to stretch out and not feel too crowded, which was nice because we were traveling with our two small children. Luckily, the room even had a mini fridge, so when we ate out we could store our food for later; which is great with little ones. The staff was very friendly and we observed them working both early mornings and late in to the evening. For an Inn or bed and breakfast type of experience, they would be at the top of our list every time.

Extraordinarily rude and unhelpful woman at desk that said she was the daughter of the owner! Room was o.k. and clean. Breakfast was help yourself and not good.

Well, for starters, be careful you don't miss the driveway to get into this place, and be very careful at night as the driveway is not marked at the entrance with lighting, but is at their main sign which sits a little back from the road. Anyway, that's inconsequential but worth mentioning.
We went in October 2011 for just one night, which is one positive for this place as other hotels in the area wanted two nights minimum, but we also chose this place because it has a tavern/restaurant on site and according to their website is open from noon until 8pm. This wasn't the case however as it's only open on certain days, weekends I believe, so that was disappointing considering that you'll have to truck it back to the flavorless cuisines of Litchfield for your dining (that's not fair to say, I bet Litchfield has some great food, but we chose to eat below $$$, which LItchfield is not famous for).
Back to the hotel, no one was at the front desk upon arrival but they did arrive shortly thereafter, and all seemed fine. We got to our room, looked around at the mishmash of furniture and decorations, and tried to come to ease with the odd little place we were staying at. However, after almost settling in for the night, discovered that the plumbing was not doing it's job and contacted the front desk, but no one there again. This time, a phone number left on the desk to call, so placed the call, explained the problem, they requested to validate, I accepted, they validated plumbing did not work, we asked for another room, and then that's where we thought we would have to pee elsewhere for the night. The front desk person couldn't get in touch with the manager who would normally make that decision and as it turned out, no rooms were available. After about 30 minutes of uncertainty, a room did become available and we moved, checking the plumbing first, then noticing the totally different, almost antique, decorations of this room versus the previous. Oh, and the bed changed from Tempur-Pedic to old, hard spring mattress with this new room. We got the feeling that they furnish these rooms with differing items as they can afford them. Oh bother, no biggie.
Finally, time for the free breakfast the next morning. It was actually alright for a continental breakfast, however, there was no one there to restock, the staff was all gone. Fortunately we arrived before all the food may have disappeared.
And double finally, check-out time. Again, no one around, just a sign at the front desk to leave your keys here. Very odd.
Overall impression is that this is a cute place from the outside, and I can see if you have kids that they would really enjoy it, and I can also see that if you went in the summer that it would give you a better lodge/camp experience than in the late season, but for the price we paid, I think next time we will look elsewhere, maybe even one of the chain hotels.
