West Stockbridge Vacations

My grandfather was a Bauhaus trained architect, so I love the mid century modern vibe - great memories! Clean, cute, friendly spot, and close to horse show. I’ll come back!

South Shire is a quaint Victorian Inn on Elm Street within walking distance to the center of Bennington, VT. The Inn has a family feel and elegance. We traveled as a couple. It was easy to get to sites and enjoy fine restaurants. The Inn is in keeping with the feel of strength of the Bennington community, as a place for artists, musicians, and people's expression generally to thrive. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend South Shire.

Great price for a good, clean room.

They’ve nicely updated the surface without fixing the problems underneath. So there’s a lovely comfy bed but a terrible smell of mold; a beautifully tiled shower with a floor so slippery my husband fell and almost hit his head on the edge of the built in seat. There’s an infrared light in the bath but it doesn’t work and there’s no fan; a microwave but the cups are plastic, a coffeemaker with no instructions, and a receptionist who doesn’t do eye contact.

dated facility. Minimal amenities. No breakfast (just pots of hot coffee decaf & caf, and hot water; and a cold and hot water dispenser in the reception area). No coffeemaker in the room. No toothpaste. No closet (just some hangars hanging on a piece of pipe attached to the wall and the floor). Absurdly overpriced, all things considered.
