The Egremont Village Inn

Built in 1786, has a lot of history which we like. Was easy to check in and out. Rhonda was helpful . Was a good stay.

We arrived after dark, finding Nick, the proprietor, on the property. He seemed very nice, showing us to our room, who he said was an upgrade from the Rebecca, we had reserved, probably because we were staying for four nights and he was not booked. From here on things went downhill. At daylight, instead of finding a charming Country Inn, things were in disarray. Don't expect cozy common rooms as displayed on the photographs. We did never see a staff person affiliated with the Inn and our bed was not made once. Besides, the mattress was lousy, there was no TV, which was not a big deal, since we had our laptop and the WIFI was good. It would have been nice to have some other amenties like water glasses, wash clothes and some tissues. Our room had a free standing bathtub with a showercurtain wrapping around the entire tub. Being both octogenerian, for safety reasons, we did not take showers there. The Inn may have been a wonderful destination in the beautiful Beshires years ago, but we were very disappointed to say the least. The owners are running a popular music venue in a barn on the property, which seems to be much more lucritive, consequently more attention is paid to that business. Had we not prepaid, we would have left early. We have travelled the world and don't write reviews often, but felt we needed to let travellers know to skip this one!.

I stayed at the Egremont Inn for 2 nights last week as I was visiting family in the Great Barrington region. I love visiting this part of MA, and the Egremont Inn is always a pleasure to stay at. In addition to a great Inn, it has the benefit of The Barn next door for great music and food!
