Quant little getaway spot

We had such an enjoyable experience staying at Three Chimneys Inn. It was nice to be able to walk around the area, going to a restaurant and walking by the river to learn the history of the area. The staff was very friendly as well.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The Inn was quaint and has beautiful grounds and a delicious continental breakfast including a waffle station. But, the room had extremely squeaky floor boards and the walls were paper thin. I heard every word of guests next door including the snoring! We stayed in the Carriage House for one night.

Disliked: Staff & service
The main building has rooms attached to it so it gets loud when guests slam the front doors. The ladies at the front desk were wonderful but the gentleman was rude and unwelcoming. The breakfast selection was fantastic! That said, I wouldn’t stay there again…

Really Good, Overall

The Inn interior is exemplary, but the exterior on the less visible sides needs a lot of work. Our room also deserves 5 stars. We would certainly stay there again!

What a wonderful place! Old New England charm, very friendly service, a fantastic room with a fireplace and a huge bath tub! Only down side would be lack of bubble bath soap for that tub. And on a normal day/night to room would've been too warm but since it was like 20 degrees...perfect. would definitely stay again. Oh and the food and tavern were superb!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Inn was lovely. The staff were wonderful! Felt like family. They went out of their way to get to know our family group of 12. The restaurant (Tavern) was excellent, Manager/Hostess (Laurie) and server (Romaine) and another male gentleman server whose name I have forgotten were very attentive. Can't wait to return.
