Beautiful pet friendly place in the heart of Woodstock Village. Scenery is lovely, soothing and plenty to do. Can walk to things, bike or hike.

The Air Conditioning unit was waking me up every time it started up. Room 225. That is my only inconvenience. Everything else was wonderful.

Decent, clean accommodations. Close to downtown. Nice views. Staff were very helpful and worked with our changing plans. Rooms on the lowest level of the River building had a good deal of moisture build-up (like a basement), so things /felt/ a little damp (nice river access, though). One room had virtually no toilet paper left, but that was quickly rectified. Would stay there again, as--on the whole--it was a good experience.

We were assigned to a cottage apart from the main building. The cottage was in need of updating. The main concern though was with the lack of cleanliness...spider webs and dust were found throughout the room/bathroom. There is not a "front desk" either, which we found a bit odd.

Liked the River. I will not stay here again. We drove from Bar Harbor, ME to the Shire. I found out yesterday that registration is only for two hours on Wednesday. We drove all day and arrived at 5:07 pm. Luckily the reception was still open. I had booked two rooms and only one room had a key in the room and had been registered for late arrival. What would have happened if they wouldn’t have been open. Then we found out no elevator and we had to lug everything upstairs. We had 2 weeks worth of clothes in suitcases so it was tough maneuvering the stairs.

Nice property with new an old buildings. We reserve through Expedia I felt like they put us in the older building even if they had newer room and the place wasn’t filled,We had no hot water and the place was very dated. Nice lady took care of us and changed the room late at night. She was really responsive, but I feel like they could’ve put us in a better room on arrival since it wasn’t full at all.

This is a lovely property in the town of Woodstock. We enjoyed our time there (and all the space in our room!). I left something in our room and did not realize it until the next day. I called the property to ask if anything had been found. They soon got back to me that they had my item and would mail it to me - which they did. I'm extremely grateful!
