    My favorite B & B experience.
    Our stay was great! The room was spacious,clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the historic Inn was comfortable and clean. I credit the owners for providing a atmosphere where we felt we had our space, yet they were there whenever we had a question or need. We…

    Our room was well-appointed: great bed, fireplace with rocking chairs. The common living room (formerly the tavern when the house was built) was replete with great reading material and comfortable furniture. The house is steeped in colonial-era history. Mike and Kevin were…

    A Perfect History and Nature Buff's Retreat!
    Our Second visit! How awesome was it to stay in the historic home of an American Patriot! All the quirk and charm of an old New England homestead, with knowledgeable hosts that seem to dote on the history of the house and the area. And the noticeable age of the tavern, with a…

    Great if all you want is a waffle and a bacon strip !!!

    Response from Kevin M, Owner at The Ira Allen House Bed and Breakfast
    Responded 28 Jul 2018
    Dear Eliot, We are so glad you enjoyed the "bed" part of your experience and we are sorry the breakfast didn't live up to your expectations. We pride ourselves on serving the freshest, local ingredients, including farm-fresh, homemade yoghurt and local fruits and vegetables whenever possible. We serve only free-range eggs from local farmers and the best-quality artisan bacon. All of our baked goods are made from scratch by us. We are sorry things weren't up to your standards and we will try harder in the future. We sincerely hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in our lovely state. Kevin and Michael
