Guest Reviews
- Sarah (10/5): Back Inn Time is very quaint, our room had a super comfortable bed, the kitchen/living room area was very nice. Ever - It’s very private, in the middle of no where (30 min to Colchester) N/A
- Barbara (9/5): Superb -
- Stephane (10/5): Exceptional -
- James (5/5): Overpriced. - Location Small rooms
- Ruth (8/5): The room we had was beautiful and comfortable. The other rooms have a non attached bathroom. Great location but communic - The house was beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. No flexibility at breakfast. The hostess seemed “put out” if what she made for breakfast was not what you wanted to eat.
- Hoose (9/5): Superb -
- Ron (8/5): Beautiful location - Charming gardens and excellent locations. Small room, stairs adjacent bathroom
- Robert (10/5): A welcoming staff and home like experience. - Lovely gardens and a wonderful homemade breakfast. Check in was easy. Owner was very kind, courteous, and friendly. So much better than staying in a hotel. I can’t think of anything we didn’t like.
- Bradley (10/5): - There is a beautiful stained glass window on the second floor
- Miller (9/5): Superb -
- Christopher (10/5): Great owners and staff! - Beautiful old charm!!
- Charles (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adam (10/5): Beautiful historic building - Beautifully preserved historic building. Owner is an absolute delight and very happy to chat, offer suggesitons on places to do or talk about the history of the building. Exceptional breakfast that changes daily.
- Van (10/5): - The Owner was very accommodating with our late arrival. Back Inn Time is one of if not the best B&B’s I have visited. Quaint spacious old building & the Breakfast was very tasty.
- Wayne (9/5): Definitely give this facility a high recommendation......and would certainly stay again. - Excellent breakfast, wonderful presentation. Beautifully kept and decorated....so in keeping with the location and times, in that the inn has been in family for 160 yrs, and the tradition is being carried on. Karen Marie.....lovely and caring owner and hostess
- Dominic (6/5): A quaint place, but over priced - The breakfast was buffet style with a very limited choice. A system to lock the room, access to a proper ironing board and hair drier.
- Verbusaityte (9/5): Superb - lovely place with great breakfast.
- Orit (10/5): Exceptional - Homey , beutifull place, excellent home made breakfast. Karen Marie the owner, makes everything perfect.
- Lilibeth (9/5): Beautiful Inn with nice patio and relaxing garden - beautiful patio and gardens. The house is beautiful too. Very few places for nice meal
- Lauren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Martha (8/5): - Beautiful building and felt like an authentic b & b experience. The room was lovely although no TV …not a dealbreaker for us but I think should perhaps be mentioned or called out in the property description. (There is a tv in the common area though). We didn’t ask about the pool but it’s not on the property…just something “nearby” (not visible so not sure where it actually was) and realistically is probably enough of a hassle to put you off using it. The shower in our room was extremely small and very low pressure, again not a dealbreaker and to be expected in an older home. The host was a friend of the owner who was away for the weekend and she was lovely and friendly. However, for the price ($400 USD including tax), I think I was expecting a bit more from the room and inn features iso gave a rating of four stars vs five due to vale for the money.
- Chris (10/5): - Very nice bed and breakfast. Friendly, accommodating, beautiful, clean Victorian home. Breakfast was very good. Will definitely go back.
- M (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent. Personal, individual, ample, delicious, creative
- Brenda (10/5): Exceptional - The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing! The host was fantastic and the food was delicious! I would come here again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone and everyone! There was nothing I didn't like!!!
- Ray (6/5): No lock and road noise - This is a lovely old house with a very consciencious inn keeper (Karen). Our room was nice enough, and the breakfast was excellent. We did have some issues that we think other potential guests may want to know about. In the Renaissance room: 1. Our door had no lock. An offer was made to go get a latch to install for us, but we politely declined. We'd recommend doing that for future guests. We put a chair in front of the door. 2.We couldn't find a way to control the heat other than opening a window. Then it got cold....3.Due to being an old house, insulation must be poor, and our room faced a fairly busy street -road noise kept both of us awake much of the night. 4. Door to shower room wouldn't close properly so sleeping husband could hear me in the shower & ventilation fan. 5. Lighting in room, especially bathroom poor. 6. No TV. There were some very nice aspects to this property, but for the price we paid, we expected much better.
- Jill (10/5): A true trip Back Inn Time - The Inn is wonderful. The owner, KarenMarie, has created a beautiful and welcoming B&B that invites you to stay and relax. The homey touches in each room add to the experience (there is even a sound machine in our room in case we needed it) as well as lovely down comforters and plush robes. The breakfast was also delicious. We felt very welcomed. KatenMarie is an excellent hostess. nothing
- Hilik (10/5): Exceptional - The house is an historic-victorian estsblishment with old furniture and paintings that throws you back into a time-tunnel but with modern facilities. The bed and the linen were the softest and most comfortsble we ever had. The breakfast was one different dish every day, made by the host herself, tasty, special and accurate. The host herself, Karenmarie was wonderful. We had a glass of wine with her in both our nights and we were deeply impressed by her personality, friendship, kindness and openness. Our stay there was a delight and gave us a good impression of St. Albans
- Mark (4/5): Beautiful home with great breakfast but terrible bed; overpriced accommodation. - Breakfast was very good! Stayed two nights and breakfasts were different each morning. House is beautiful with spacious common rooms (parlor, dining room, living room). Location of facility is very convenient; close to the highway but far enough away to be quiet. The innkeeper was very passive aggressive. The bed was very worn; visibly uneven with little support. We could not lock the bedroom door when not in the room (there was a little lock we could latch when in the room). The shower head needs to be replaced.
- Rosalba (10/5): Exceptional -
- Krystle (10/5): perfect BNB - so cute. friendly owner
- KAREN (8/5): - Property was very welcoming with its Victorian furniture and decor. Owner and staff were extremely friendly and detailed. You could relax and eat gourmet breakfast of your choice! I would recommend a stay here.
- Edwin (6/5): - Breakfast and location were fabulous.
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely best breakfast ever
- C. (10/5): Exceptional -
- Faron (7/5): Good -
- Chrissy (10/5): Karen Marie makes the stay lovely! - location I can’t think of anything :)
- Dennis (10/5): - Loved everything! Would definitely go back!
- Constance (10/5): - The owner was magnificent and the property was lovely and well maintained. I couldn't be more pleased by with the stay.
- Bill (10/5): - What a very nice surprise to stay in this old Victorian with such a great host! We hope to be back soon, couldn't have had a better experience!
- Richard (10/5): - I had never stayed at a Bed at a Bed and Breakfast before and was amazed at how nice it was. Everything was great!!! The attention to cleanliness and detail to all the rooms and the old authentic furniture in this Victorian setting was wonderful!! Ron and Karen Marie and the entire staff made this a good memorable experience for me. I will return.
- Mary Lee (10/5): - The inn is gorgeous -- well kept and tastefully decorated. The owners are gracious, and the breakfasts were fabulous. St. Albans is a fun town.
- Milan (8/5): Comfortable Stay - I had only stayed overnight but it was a good place to stay. I arrived late due to only one train per day. It was a short walk from the train station. Being a small town, restaurants closed early. After being on the train for 11 hours, I really enjoyed a good sleep at this place. It was quiet. Breakfast was plentiful, however, I settled on toast and orange juice. They had served Greek omelets that morning and a choice of drink (acai, cider, and OJ). I had only wished that it hadn't rained because I wanted to sit out on the back porch. The view from the kitchen was great.
- Alexander (4/5): Not so good stay at Shabby Times - I picked Back Inn Time with a vision of grand old house managed by a dignified semi-retired couple and full of courtesy and little charming curiosities that historic B&Bs often offer. For $345 a night, despite not being on the beach and 45 min drive from the closest center of action (Burlington), I was excited. Well, I was disappointed. The place have seen much better days, perhaps 20 years ago. It is shabby, old as opposite to vintage. Bed was awful and squeaky. Rugs were faded and felt dusty. Dining room has a plastic ceiling made in the shape of old copper. The only pleasant part of the house is it deck and back yard - beautiful and tranquil - but in rural Vermont this is rather a commodity. The inn keepers were super pleasant too… except they were NOT inn keepers but temp subs. While pleasant, they couldn’t answer basic questions (like, “where is the beach” kind). After a couple of days or so I wanted to move on, despite booking 6 nights. The owner (real one) first agreed to reimburse me for 3 nights. I thanked and left… but then she changed her mind and only reimbursed me for one night, citing complexities with Expedia and other unreal excuses. So we were done with dignified appearances too. In all, a sad experience.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Karen Marie is a wonderful host. The Inn and gardens so beautiful. Breakfast hit the spot!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - What a charming and welcoming place to stay! Everyone was extremely calm and courteous, even the other guests who clearly enjoyed themselves just like me.
