The Old Inn on the Green

As UK tourists travelling around New England this is an unusual hotel to stay in Recommended by US friends who had dined here some while ago but more importantly not stayed The main Residence is the dining area for dinner while our room was in a separate old house .This has steep stairs to the upper rooms something we were aware of so left our large suitcases in the car overnight There are 5 bedrooms of differing size and appearance and 2 communal sitting rooms downstairs mainly unused The room itself follows the decor of the age of the house -don’t expect tech and adjustable heating/ AC -only a few windows actually can be opened In fact it took a call to the main house to turn down the ceiling heat vent- centrally controlled -which was slowly roasting us - as a result the bathroom was cold in the morning There are no facilities in the room for making any hot drinks an amenity we missed the next morning as breakfast is at a small cafe a 10 minute drive away We were provided with a thermos of hot water after dinner after some asking No safe in the room The dinner was excellent -beautifully presented and cooked with a couple of extra tasting treats all enjoyed by candlelight Most of the main food sources from outside the US . Extensive wine list to complement I cannot fault the delicious dinner or service Take a torch with you as the walk back after to the house is very dark Sadly we didn’t check the account that we thought we had booked for our stay that evening so when it was emailed several hours after breakfast we were not able to understand it Several extra charges had been added and not identified and as as there is NO ONE in the main residence in the mornings to explain ( the place was deserted like the “Marie Celeste” we sent an email asking for an explanation To date we have had no explanation or reply To date we have had NOT had a reply It seems in this area of the US extra charges can be added with no explanation

The room we were assigned to was uninhabitable. It looked adorable when we entered, but the noise above us was terrible. No one could relax or sleep in that room, even with earplugs and a sound machine. We asked to switch rooms, but they had nothing else available. The owner did not offer a refund or an apology. Do not stay in this hotel. It's probably charming for dinner, and we were bummed to have to leave and miss our reservation, but the Old in the title is an understatement!

One of the most excellent dining experiences we've had. We were there on a rainy Saturday night as guests of dear friends, and it was a lovely visit with them. The drive thought the quiet, lush countryside helped make it an extraordinary evening. Thank you to the extremely courteous staff who were attentive but didn't rush us. Thank you, Matthew. Unbelievably delicious dinner, artistically presented, with many extra courses. Charming candlelight ambiance. Quiet so that we could talk during dinner. One special treat was a HOT coffee cup! Not only the coffee, but the cup was hot. Hot bread, too, brought up from Tribecca in NYC. The meal was perfect from the beginning to the end. What a wonderful evening. It's rare to have such an amazing dinner with fabulous service The chefs and staff get 5 stars from us. Thank you to everyone at The Inn on the Green for offering a delightful evening in every way. (However, a grown up potty would be nice! Ha.)

A gastronomic delight and a wonderful experience. Attention to detail in every respect. Matthew was a wonderful server and never rushed us to order. The food was so well prepared with interesting and unusual pairings and served hot. Romantic candlelight ambience. We were a party of four and could have conversations that were heard. We went on a rainy night and called ahead to inquire about a handicap entrance. Most obliging and told us to come in the ramp near the kitchen. We had been here pre Covid and wanted to come back. We drove an hour because we remembered how special and delicious the meal and the evening were. Old Inn on the Green never disappoints..it only invites and treats. Well worth the money!

We’ve eaten here three times in the last 10 years and each time was wonderful. It’s a unique experience as the dining rooms are lit only by candle light. The food is absolutely exquisite. It’s a prefix menu with three courses with additional canapés included. Wait staffs excellent too. One of our visits was during the holidays in December, for our anniversary, and it was snowing. That one was unbeatable but, can’t wait to dine there again.
