Guest Reviews
- Richard (8/5): - The breakfast was very good I think really, the whole experience was all positive
- Guest (8/5): Spent the night celebrating 32nd anniversary. Been there many times prior. - Breakfast was amazing - homemade and delicious
- Henk (10/5): - We waardeerde de mooie historische interieur van deze inn.
De ontvangst en de bediening was erg vriendelijk en gastvrij.
Het ontbijt was hier echt van superklasse!
- Guest (10/5): We felt right at home, and look forward to staying again . - The breakfast both days was delightful- nice portions (not too much) and combinations. The sweet treat at the end was perfect for sipping tea on the porch. 👍
The dining room was quaint, and it was pleasant to hear the kitchen staff talking and preparing the food. A family dog ❤️
- Guest (10/5): Everyone was very friendly and the carriage house was great, quiet! - Breakfast was great!
- Stephanie (9/5): -
- Joseph (4/5): Not as advertised, and disappointing - The Wainwright Inn is okay, but not what you see advertised on travel and booking websites. The photos on those sites bear little resemblance to the actual inn. And I'm surprised it gets rave reviews. It looks like it hasn't had a paint job in 30 years, and when we told the proprietor that the air conditioning wasn't working, he said, "yes, it is."It wasn't and he later fixed it. Breakfast was fine, but overall, a disappointment.
- Beane (6/5): You get - Acceptable bkfast and location. Interior rooms and furnishings on the ground floor were very well matched and gave a great period vibe. Abandoned home in the back yard. Overgrown vegetation in the side yard and flower garden. Multiple flowers growing up out of the back parking lot. Front porch had all the chairs on one side of the door and none on the other ? Shower curtain inadequate alignment to contain water in tub and blocked access to the controls. Morning traffic noise thru single pane glass windows eliminated any risk of sleeping late. Bureau hidden away in an unfinished closet.
- Christoph U (10/5): - Sehr uriges B&B mit persönlichem Service und tollem Frühstück. Die Einrichtung ist aus vielen Antiquitäten zusammengestellt, die dem Haus seinen persönlichen Charme verleiht
- Thomas (9/5): -
- Neil (10/5): -
- Britt (10/5): -
- Jiang (1/5): 太差了 都没有入住 就直接走了换别的酒店了 安全措施这么差 万一晚上来个不法分子 叫天天不应 - 这是民宿 不是酒店 上楼的楼梯都结了蜘蛛网 马桶看上去像发霉 没有安全意识 一个由外面上的楼梯直通房间 一间收费200多美元的房间 里面还有一间房是房东放毛巾之类的 洗手间很小
- Dr (10/5): Exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was delicious and bed very comfortable - Historic but comfortable Nothing

- David (10/5): we had a most wonderful peaceful stay, eveything was wonderful -
- Suzanne (9/5): Our stay was comfortable and pleasant. - The inn itself was beautiful and in a good location and the breakfast was delicious. I think our mattress sagged a little in the middle.
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jody (9/5): Thanks to Chris and Barb, I'm looking forward to staying there again! -
- Peter (8/5): Very good -
- Lynn (8/5): Very enjoyable time with everything we needed and more. Would definitely stay there again. - Breakfast was delicious and the inn keepers Chris and Barb were friendly and helpful. The inn was charming and had everything we needed. The only negative was the bed which was creaky and not so comfortable. It seemed smaller than a queen sized bed.
- Lippolis (10/5): Excellent stay. We have family in the area and I look forward to returning. - Check in was quick and easy. The staff was pleasant and responsive. Breakfast was excellent and the inn was beautiful and very clean.
- Gwyn (9/5): Superb - The breakfast was excellent. The owners accommodated my food intolerance and were most considerate. We had breakfast two mornings and We enjoyed it very much both days. The location was very convenient. The rooms were immaculate and the grounds were lovely. The beds were very comfortable.

- Dyer (9/5): Superb -
- Stacy (10/5): Beautiful home, delicious breakfast and comfy beds. - The cleanliness of this very old, very large house was amazing. Breakfast each day was absolutely delicious. The gardens are beautiful as well. N/A
- Galadriel (10/5): Can't wait to take my husband next time - LOVE IT. - I will definitely be back. The place is charming, quiet and full of history. The room was spacious and comfortable and well-appointed. The breakfast was incredible, always garnished with herbs fresh from the garden. It's on a busier street, but nothing compared to a big city.
- David (9/5): Friendly, well-maintained historic inn right in Great Barrington - Friendly greeting on arrival from the owner. Beautiful historic inn with lots of original details. Well-maintained building. Comfortable bed and nice-sized room. Breakfast was excellent and it was fun talking with the owner and his wife over breakfast. Location is right in Great Barrington. Everything was perfect.
- William (4/5): Disappointing - The steps were very icy. Instruction on entering was not good. "DELUX QUEEN" room was ver small. TV was tiny and inaudible. Fire exit on second floor was locked making us feel unsafe but the staff/owners were short with me l about a problem and mis-communication about what doorvwe should use to get in that we were reluctant to bring it up. The mauve bathroom fixtures from the 60s could have been considered camp but I don't think it was intended.
- Victor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bob (10/5): Exceptional - Nice and close to downtown
- Stef (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brian (9/5): Superb -
- Fred (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable and quiet. Barbara is a great host who knows the best places to eat at as well as serving up a wonderful breakfast. We had a great 2 night stay.
- Nancy (10/5): it was perfect. - gardens, porches, comfy bed,delicious breakfast.
- Margaret (10/5): extremely comfortable, gorgeously appointed historic inn - gorgeous facility, spotless and very well maintained. extremely comfortable and well decorated. excellent guest accommodations! the I hadn’t found it in my previous trips to the Berks!
- Melissa (9/5): Beautiful house with lots of space, good place to stay when visiting the Berkshires. - Breakfast was excellent each day however only one option (out of luck if not what you want or like) Staff was attentive, unintrusive. Property spacious with lots of areas for private visits with friends (porches, indoor side sitting rooms). Our room was on 3rd floor. Quiet. Would have liked stronger wifi, connections for technology could have been better. More availability to self serve tea, coffee, milk etc No choice for full breakfast, one option per morning. No room servicing during 2 nt stay.
- Robin (10/5): Friendly classic B&B well placed for Berkshires - Very relaxing stay at friendly classic B&B with good access to shops and restaurants in towns, and to the countryside of the Berkshires. Not for you if you want all modern facilities and lots of choice at breakfast.
For example on first morning, breakfast was buttermilk pancakes with bacon (and fruit and maple syrup) - delicious, and we really enjoyed not having to choose from a long list!
- Naomi (10/5): Chris and Barb were wonderful hosts and we had everything we needed. Delicious breakfast, too! -
- Anonymous (8/5): Comfortable and charming with attentive and personable hosts. - character and comfort.
- John (9/5): Superb -
