Review from Aimee S.

My review is mainly for the facilities and service, not the restaurant.
This is where my husband I eloped last August. We live near Boston, and decided to elope in Vermont so I started researching B&Bs there that offered wedding planning services. Most of the places I found online were for adults only, and we wanted our two children with us so I emailed a few that allowed children. Out of the four that I contacted, only two responded, and one did not respond to a second email requesting more information so I ended up choosing the Arlington Inn by default.
I was a tiny bit worried because I wasn't able to check it out in person beforehand, but once we arrived we discovered that the web site did not do this place justice. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, in this quaint little town, and it is just beautiful. The room we stayed in, called Old Squire's Gable, was quite roomy, with a main bedroom, a loft area with a queen size mattress for the kids, and a sitting room. The sitting room also had a day bed. This room was in one of the smaller guest houses, so I can only imagine how big the rooms in the main house are, since that house is so much bigger.
The only night we had dinner in the restaurant was our wedding night, since the meal was included as part of the ceremony. The food was not bad. We didn't have dinner here any other night because I felt the prices were a little high. We did eat breakfast there every morning, however, which was very good. My kids loved the pancakes. I had something different each day, and it's hard to choose a favorite.
The staff was great, and very attentive to our needs. It turns out that the owner grew up a few towns away from me! Our wedding was held in the gazebo in the backyard, and we even had the honor of having the Inn's pet chicken, Potato, attend as a surprise guest. I'm glad I chose such a wonderful place for my wedding, and I'm looking forward to going back again. -

My fiancé and I decided to take a trip a trip up to Vermont for some skiing and relaxation. After checking the web we settled on the Arlington Inn, based on the style of the house and the beautiful photos depicting spacious rooms with large Jacuzzis. The Inn Keepers didn't get back to our about availability until the morning of our planned departure.
We accepted Liz's suggestion to take the Old Squires Room. After a 4.5-hour drive we were not pleased to find the room had a terrible smell and could only be described as spacious if you are under 4ft tall. The carpets look like they have not been cleaned since the 70's and there's an animal living in the walls. This is meant to be an attic crawl space, not living quarters.
We went to the main house the next morning with the idea of speaking to the owners before the other guests arrived. We explained our issues and were offered a second room in the parsonage only if we agreed to pay $20 more to cover the cleaning costs. We decided to stay put, not because of the $20, but because the second room had other deficiencies that made the packing and unpacking not worthwhile too us.
Breakfast was excellent and the waitresses were nice.
After a day of skiing we headed back to the Inn where they advertised they would be serving coffee and baked goods. There wasn't any coffee, food, or staff in the public area when we arrived. While looking at some tourist brochures 3 individuals entered the room, including Elizabeth and we presume her husband and mother. We are not sure because nobody introduced themselves or even acknowledged us. We ended up driving 10 miles back into Manchester for a coffee and some baked goods.
Elizabeth checked us out of the room the next morning. She asked about our drive up from Massachusetts but made no mention of how we enjoyed our stay. Typically we'd say something but it was quite obvious that they just don't care. -

The Arlington Inn is a sweet little Inn and Restaurant near Brattleboro, VT. It has a main house, two smaller guest houses, a small dining room, a classy parlor, and a large rustic garden/gazebo out back.
I photographed a wedding here in August - it was a very intimate wedding in the garden's gazebo attended by two guests, a chicken, and a cat. It would be a great place for a smaller wedding (I'd say less than 50 guests) in the summertime or an intimate wedding or elopement in the colder season.Comment from Elizabeth B. of Arlington Inn 3/19/2011

Food was just OK. Sort of like dining in your strange Uncles house. Very rushed service.

Nice place for a high-end dinner. Entree's 25 to 35. Excellent bar and mixologist, make sure you take time for a pre dinner drink. Lovely setting. Located between Bennington and Manchester, in Arlington, VT.

The Inn was build as a private resident in 1847, for Martin Chester Demming, a Rail Road Barron. In the early 1920's Mr & Mrs Bottom purchased the building and turned it into a summer hotel called The Colonial Inn. In the 1960's the hotel down the street called the Arlington Inn burned and the with a change of ownership the Colonial Inn became The Arlington Inn.
