    Nestled in the mountains of Vermont, this cozy inn offers a perfect location for a relaxing getaway. The restaurant on-site is a delightful place to enjoy a delicious meal after a day of skiing or exploring the charming shops in town. The rooms are beautifully appointed, with comfortable beds, and the service is attentive and friendly. In the morning, wake up to a scrumptious breakfast delivered right to your room.

    The parking can be a bit limited, so it's advisable to arrive early to secure a spot.

    Appreciated Manchester, the hotel was attractive to post a separate review of the restaurant. Our room was fairly quiet and bright and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. It offered us marvellous and perfect location near the " Shops " in Manchester, the beautiful garden, and must see/do activities. Meals were fantastic, and there was Mulligans near the property.

    Tbh, rooms were dark.
