My husband and I stayed at this beautiful Inn for one evening. Perfection. Understated elegance. Immaculate. Incredible grounds. Fabulous restaurant. Meticulous service. Lovely continental breakfast waiting for you in the morning by the fireplace. We will return.

They have taken the old Silvermine Tavern, probably saved the guts of the building but updated the interior so you wouldn’t even recognize the place. Bar and restaurant were buzzing - fun to watch the bartenders in action! Front desk was beyond helpful and friendly; as was our server. This restaurant is probably not for everyone - the food is prepared much more inventively than most restaurants - and it is outstanding. Try the duck confit small plate - unbelievable; or the filet mignon - better than most steak houses! Branzino was great as was venison. Desserts are just a little different than the norm. Good wine list but expensive. Definitely a great place for a special occasion.

Perfect getaway from the city. Our suite was spacious and superbly appointed, service was thoughtful and attentive and we had zero complaints. Would def stay again.

I cannot think of a better hotel experience that the one I had at GrayBarns, and I already can't wait to return! The rooms were spacious, cozy, and furnished with the most incredible attention to detail: fluffy robes and Frette slippers, a soaking tub with bath salts, gorgeous furniture, a generous bountiful free breakfast each morning with fresh ingredients, friendly and helpful staff, a sleek fitness studio, and an in-house restaurant. The inn is situated on a river with a willow tree, and the entire hotel experience was tranquil and rejuvenating. Thank you GrayBarns for an exceptional stay!

This used to be the Silvermine Tavern, and the last time I was there was in the late 1970s when I was a teenager. So I did not recognize the place this time but the food was delicious. I had heard good things about the crispy fried oyster mushrooms, and indeed, they were amazing. Don’t think of the typical greasy deep fry. These mushrooms were light and delicate and the breaded part was more like a dusting of flour. It’s hard to explain but what I’m trying to say is they tasted healthy and good for you. I had the duck for dinner and my friend had the branzino. She doesn’t usually like parsnips but she said the parsnips were delicious. We ate at the Tavern. Did not stay at the Inn.
