Rose Arbour Bed & Breakfast 2009.11.03
Not recommended Trip type: All Others "It's different!! Very different !!!"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 3, 2009

No problems with the room but the SHARED bathroom which was referred to on the booking was something else. 1. Room was on the second floor, bathroom on the first fllor. 2. Bathroom was not only shared with another room but also the tea shop on the first floor. 3. Access to the "shared" bathroonm is through the gift shop attached to the tea room. Not much fun during either the day time (visitors in the shop etc.)or at night picking way through the very well stocked shop. 4. On top of everything bathroom was not in the "best" of conditions. As the title to this review says,"Its different, very different" On the plus side there is a very good "Scottish" pub nearby serving good beer and food

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 23, 2009

We stayed in the suite to ensure a private bath. Couch was old and a bit musty. Bed and bedroom were clean and comfortable. Sink in bathroom was discolored from rust stains. Innkeeper friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good.

With only three rooms, it really felt like home. Breakfast was excellent. I just wish we had time to stay longer. Great surroundings. Lots of places to walk and really see the Vermont charm

Recommended Trip type: With Friends "Fine for the Money, Pleasant, with one suggestion"

Reviewed by Sarah S. of New York City on Jan 4, 2008

We enjoyed our stay. One suggestion: get rid of the TV. Once one guest decides to watch TV the common area is useless to everyone else who may want to sit quietly and read or relax.
