SOUTH SHIRE a Little Hotel

Adorable and quirky place and a great value. We booked here to XC ski at Prospect Mountain. The weather didn’t cooperate, but we still had fun hanging out in Bennington and Manchester. We booked the Peach Room, which had a cozy bed and an enormous bathroom. The temperature went down to single digits one night and I was snug and warm. The Thai restaurant Taan has incredible food. We had dinner one night and it was the best Thai food I’ve ever had. There’s a communal area between the restaurant and lobby with a fireplace, piano, and tea and coffee bar. It was nice to sit by the fire with a cup of tea. The owner was really nice and fun to chat with.

The South Shire Inn was absolutely perfect! The Otto Suite was beautiful and comfortable. The fireplace comes with duraflame logs and a lighter, making it super easy to use. Breakfast the next day was lovely as well. The Inn is within walking distance to the shops downtown. Highly recommend staying here!

This is a very comfortable and attractive inn, located an easy couple of blocks from the heart of downtown. The decor is very Victorian, with lots of interesting antiques and carved wood. Our room (The Gold Room) was large and reasonably comfortable. The bath was ‘private’ but across the hall, so come prepared. There isn’t a TV, but that’s just fine, especially since the WiFi is very good. The bed was fine, although I’ve slept in better. The primary issue we had was with its understaffing. Although they knew our arrival time, the cleaning crew had to find our key and let us in (and finish prepping the room). We had no orientation to the breakfast arrangements, and on the first morning, upon not seeing evidence of anything set up, we went out. We were told later that day that indeed breakfa

A+ service, room we stayed in was perfect size with king bed. had an issue with heater first night but Inn Keeper was great to deal with and provided alternative heat source on first evening plus they have working fireplace (bonus++). We stayed 3 nights and just enjoyed ourselves during our visit. would definitely stay here again.

This is a small boutique bed and breakfast, without breakfast included. The pros: that it is adorable, the bed was clean and the bathroom is clean. The cons: We arrived at 5:00 at night there was NO light on the front steps or porch,completely dark walking in. The entryway was very dark except for one lamp that was flickering off and on (like a horror movie). Our key was left on a desk. The stairs leading up to the second floor were also dark, no lights to be found until we turned the corner at the top of the stairs. We were not provided any hand soap, no hand towel, no washcloth and only one bath towel for two people. The room was freezing there was a fireplace but no duralog in the room (as advertised) and there was a tiny space heater on the floor. we were uncomfortable sleeping with
