Probably our best stay in our three weeks in New England!
Oh my goodness! Staying at Featherbed was the best experience! Karen & Mick are such knowledgeable and enthusiastic hosts. Every tip they gave us was absolutely spot on. Breakfast is exceptional - a gourmet experience every morning and with such a lovely atmosphere around the communal tables. Sadly we were only there for two nights and didn't have time to experience the new sauna and plunge pool - really wish we had booked for a longer stay as there is so much to do in the area and, from the quality of the bedding to the access to trails, Featherbed is perfect in every way.
Nothing at all!
Breakfast:) Such a friendly, comfortable home!
Positive vibes all around. We will be back
Beautiful property. Loved the sauna and hot tub.
Comfortable and inviting. Highly recommend.
Beautiful setting around the house. The inn itself was very comfortable. Loved the old charm it had. The hosts, Karen and Mick, made you feel welcomed and took the time to interact with all their guests. We loved our stay here!
Super comfy and welcoming.
Lovely atmosphere, friendly, cozy, delicious breakfast.
