Cornucopia of Dorset

The best B&B around for miles maybe all of Vermont. The Cornucopia has magnificent charm in the center of the beautiful town of Dorset. The rooms are very comfortable, cheery and tastefully decorated. The gracious innkeeper will make you feel right at home and will suggest many of the wonderful attractions to the area. Breakfast was delicious and just what we needed to start off a busy day of exploration. There is also a private cottage available out behind the main house. The Cornucopia is an absolute charm in quintessential Vermont. You’ll love it here as myself and many others have as well.

I’ll start by saying we never ended up staying here, but our experience leading up to an unexpected cancellation was disappointing.
When we first put down our deposit, we were told we couldn’t choose our room but could list our top two choices. Not ideal, not a huge deal, but not a great start. Then we told the owner my wife has a gluten allergy, and she said she could not accommodate it. I asked for a discount since my wife wouldn’t be eating breakfast, and the owner said okay. The next day she abruptly changed her mind and said no discount, but she’d make my wife a fruit cup. This was disappointing, a reversal of an agreement, and a fruit cup is not comparable to a typical B&B breakfast. Correspondence from the owner was terse and not sympathetic.
When we finally had to cancel (3 weeks in advance) due to the memorial service for a death in the family, we were promptly refunded out money, but minus a cancellation fee. I understand cancellation fees, but I would hope that when it is due to a death, there might be an exception. Again, terse communication as well.

A sweet hideaway nearby one of Vermont’s highest-​end town greens, the Cornucopia is the perfect couples spot for anyone wanting more privacy on a vacation than valets, more romance than tennis. (having said that, shopping is ten minutes away, picnic and hiking spots just five)
