From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we knew that the Brittany was special! All the rooms had full size natural wreaths on the doors and other decorations for the holiday season. The online check in and easy instructions to open the door saved time and were appreciated. The room was much more like a quaint B & B than a roadside motel. The bed had a bunch of pretty throw pillows and a soft furry extra blanket. There was even a small, decorated Christmas tree on one of the bedside tables. It even had lights which were on to greet us!
There was a good size mini fridge that even had a freezer. We took advantage of the freezer to store a cheese cake made by the Skellig Nuns that we purchased at Henry's in Bennington.
Being a bookworm, I loved the mini library that was in the room. There were several books of different genres. Something for everyone to kax on one of the 2 armchairs provided.
The breakfast/snack room is open 24/7 which was really nice when we came in late and I was hungry! There were lots of food choices too: fruit, yogurt, soups, English Muffins, coffee, hot cider and chocolate and more. This room also had extra towels. TP, tissues, etc yo gran if you needed them. There was also a DVD library and a comfy couch for hanging out.
Even though reservations, check in and check out are all handled online, it was easy to get ahold of someone with any concerns. In fact, we were casually asked twice during our 2 day stay if everything was alright. They were excellent at taking care of the grounds. It snowed about 3 inches during our last night. This was completely cleared on walkways and the driveway very early in the morning.
Many thanks to everyone at the Brittany! We had a wonderful experience and look forward to returning!...

The instructions to open the door were very easy, we waked in and were greeted with a charming bedroom, much more like a country B & B than a motel.

Read moreWow! We found Brittney Motel by accident after a 12 hr train + car ride. When we arrived (on a Saturday night) the owners said they were fully booked and we were about to leave. They then chased us down in the parking lot and offered the last room in the motel they “haven’t updated yet” if that would be alright with us. So incredibly kind. And the room was sparkling clean and well put together. They showed us a redone one the following morning and they are just so charming.
They went above and beyond hospitality and care. It was our first stop in Vermont on a road trip and we couldn’t have asked for a better welcome wagon. The continental breakfast is a great touch - they even converted one motel room into a breakfast nook/lounge area which is so cozy and generous when you think about the $$ they could be making on that extra room. There are nice snacks and beverages on the honor system you can access at anytime 24/7. The best touch of all was the fire pit on the beautiful, sprawling front lawn. My mother and I only intended to take a peek and ended up out there chatting with other guests and making friends until midnight!
I rarely leave reviews unless I find something truly memorable or someone goes above and beyond...in this case both are true!
I would ignore bad reviews before 2019 as these...
