Barrows House

We stayed here over New Year’s Eve and day and were very pleased, for our second visit together, with our comfortable accommodations. I’ve stayed here even with former owners and was always happy with the experience.
We had a clean, spacious upstairs unit in Blue Jay Way. Very comfortable king sized bed and nice adjoining living room. There was a gas fireplace, 2 tvs, and a mini-​frig, microwave & coffee maker. It was quiet and there was LOTS of hot water for our tub, 3 things I am quick to judge on. Number 3 is that there IS a tub, not just a shower.
Staff was friendly and accommodating.
I look forward to another visit.

I stayed here back in May (2015) for a wedding nearby. I was in the single room cottage known as «Wren’s Nest» which is located just next to the main house/​bar building and central to the parking lot. I did not notice any noise from the nearby lot or building — and the room itself was fabulous. My boyfriend and I absolutely DOVE into the luxurious bedding! The staff was extremely helpful with every visit we made to the desk (and we made a lot!) They also have a sister restaurant down the street (like 2 min walk) that you can eat breakfast at — all of which was delicious! I’d definitely recommend it if you’re in the area!

I visited Barrows House for a long weekend in late January with my mom and sister and was impressed from the moment we pulled up. We choose the Inn because of its close proximity to Bromley and Stratton, and we were not disappointed. The place is beautiful, especially in the snow. Our room was large and spacious, and we took full advantage of the sitting room (with cookies, tea, and coffee!) and fireplace on the first floor.
The Inn notified us when we made our reservation that there would be a wedding on Saturday night and that the majority of the guests there that weekend were with that party. We were all impressed that they told us this prior to making the reservation to give us the option to not book, and the noise turned out not to be an issue at all. The only minor annoyance is that we weren’t able to use the lovely sitting room. A gentleman at the front desk more than made up for this by bringing up an assortment of cookies to our room!
Great, personal service was probably the biggest standout of this trip. I was also pleasantly surprised by the restaurant at the Inn. Breakfast is included, and it is delicious. I had the strawberry pancakes one morning and they were great. We ate dinner at the restaurant on Friday night as well and really enjoyed our meals. We are definitely planning on making this a tradition, with Barrow House a pivotal part!

We were here this August and absolutely loved it. We stayed at Barrows several years ago and were, frankly, a little nervous when we found out about the change in ownership. But the new team has done an excellent job holding on to the character of what always made Barrows House so special, while making some lovely improvements.
We stayed in 2 different accommodations — each very different. The first was in Blue Jay Way. We had the top floor, 2 bedrooms and a connecting living room. The rooms were enormous, with super comfortable beds and living spaces. The bathrooms were brand new as well. The design is more modern but retains classic country touches.
The second few nights we switched to Raven’s Loft, which was equally as great — with a more rustic, country vibe. The loft upstairs was enormous — we couldn’t actually believe that there were actually six beds! It is an ideal cottage for families — really nice to have one’s own space and privacy.
The pool area looked like it got a face lift, too. Liked all the new touches. The ONLY criticism is that the pool could use heating — it was pretty chilly.
Loved the restaurant and especially the fire pit on cool nights. We enjoyed our quick morning walk to Dorset Inn for breakfast — which was phenomenal. The wait staff there were especially terrific. The staff in general was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very available.
Barrows is a place we will return to again and again!

Was in town for 4 nights at a friends wedding. I was completely satisfied with accommodations and friendliness of the staff. Beds were really comfortable. Not the cheapest place in town but I’m a huge proponent of the saying «you get what you pay for.» Room was cozy… ya I shared a common area/​living room with 3 – 4 other rooms but that didn’t bother me it added to the vibe of the hotel in my opinion. Same goes for hearing people walking above you if your on ground floor or people next to you. I’d recommend it to any of my friends.

This was so beautiful! It’s different that the other places that the owners own– The Dorset Inn and The Mountain Top Inn. It has it’s old historical charm with newer amenities and a beautiful restaurant with backlit marble!!! The food was the best food my husband and I ever had. He had the salmon and truffle oil popcorn. I had the lump crab cake and scallops. We had breakfast twice which was also delightful! The bed was comfortable. We stayed at Blue Jay Way. We had other family that rented a couple of other rooms in that house so it was fun to have the common area. There are multiple houses on the property and it makes it very convenient to have the restaurant within walking distance to your room ;)

It must have been lovely in days gone by. The Barrows House is part of my family history. On the outside it looks as it always has. Inside — well, it’s seen better days. I realize it take a bit to run an Inn, but the quality of the lodgings was motel-​like. The staff are all wonderful, but have been stretched beyond their areas of strength. The menu sounded wonderful, but seemed to be reheated, not fresh (except dessert). The owner has some ridiculous stories about the Inn– including that there have never been keys to guest rooms. This is not only incorrect, it’s obvious that there must have been because there are keyholes on the doors! I am not sure I would bring any valuables to my room. The owner’s daughter and grandchildren are wonderful. The memories of local people is wonderful and made our evening pleasant. Unfortunately, she is thinking of moving. You can’t go home… seems to be true once more.
** 10÷6÷2015− addendum– this was written when the Barrows house had owners other than the current ones. I’ve been told that they have invested in many needed updates. I look forward to revisiting soon and will update my review when I do.

Highly recommend this place for dinner, overnight stays, and weddings. The food is superb and the property is lovely.
Very Friendly innkeepers. P. S. That is Barrows with 2 R’s
