Inn Victoria — Hotel in Chester

Grab a cup of coffee...this is a little lengthy. :-)

Knowing I love Hallmark Movies, my Fiancé planned a surprise getaway trip to the "Hallmark Movie" town of Chester, Vermont. This was a town full of history, charm, and lovely people, two of those people being a wonderful couple, Dan & Penny, who own and operate the Inn Victoria Bed & Breakfast.

We had never stayed at a B&B, so when we pulled into the driveway of the Inn Victoria, I nearly jumped out of the car to see it. It was so beautiful! The lawn was full of lush green trees, the flowers were in full bloom, and the house itself looked like it could reach out and hug you.

Dan & Penny came to us sharing big smiles and such a warm welcome. After taking our luggage up, they offered us a glass of wine and gave us a tour of the Inn. It was spectacular! Our room (Princess Alice) had a gorgeous decor with antique furniture, a fireplace, a huge Jacuzzi tub, and a bed so comfortable that you slept like a baby...until you woke up to the scent of Applewood smoked bacon.

There were wonderful vintage items all throughout the Inn. I especially enjoyed Penny's lovely and large collection of vintage teapots and teacups, which she would use to graciously serve you tea. I felt like I was in a Jane Austen novel.

Gentlemen, if teapots and china are not your "cup of tea," I can assure you that Penny's scrumptious breakfasts and Dan serving you like you are a King, will make you glad to be there.

Between the delicious meals, bicycle rides, beautiful surroundings of the Inn, a glass of wine and conversation in the front lawn and the overwhelming warmth of Dan & Penny's hospitality, I can honestly say this was one of the most wonderful experiences ever!

Thank you and God bless you Dan & Penny for such a wonderful...

Epic. Just epic. From the moment we walked in we knew we were home. Emily greeted us after a long day of cycling - Our longest to date actually. The only room left in the area was the queen's attic. It felt like it was because the universe was telling us YOU ARE STAYING HERE! (because it will change your life and remind you how amazing bnbs can be). We were introduced to the Goliath sized tea assortment, the wine trading system, our unique room with roof access, the chocolate chip cookies, the jacuzzi and an environment that cana only be described as care and home. So much attention and heart to detail. When we asked about a local store and food options she said that the local market was open for 20 more minutes and she had a license and a truck before promptly taking my partner to the store. It was so amazing we upgraded to stay in the other only room available - the princess Victoria room for one more night. This was the most elegant and comfortable room I have ever stayed in. The bed was so comfortable I never thought I would leave it. The owners, Penny and Dan, also let us borrow their truck to get pizza the send one night and gave us an update in the town and a peek into their beautiful story over lunch. I grew up in cheater so it was priceless to feel so welcomed home after 23 years. Thank you. Thank...

I really was hoping for more after reading all the reviews. We stayed in the Prince Alfred room which was obviously not level and kind of musty. Wood smoke smell in the room and hallway. The windows were open when we arrived so perhaps just coming in the windows. We stayed in 3 B&B's on our trip and this was the most expensive and the least comfortable and least enjoyable. Breakfast was blah. The 3 small pancakes were good but the bacon was only about 1/2 inch wide after being over cooked and was hard and crunchy. Honestly, we felt ripped off when we left. People were smoking on the front porch and you had to walk through the smoke to get to your car. Parking was out front of the hotel with traffic only a foot or two away. Many tractor trailers going by depending on the time of day. There were extension cords everywhere in the room and one section of the wall was open. The one positive note is that the owner was very gracious and friendly. We will not be...
