Karim and Isabelle have perfected their craft as Innkeepers of the Woodstocker B&B. What an incredible experience we had staying with them and in the town of Woodstock for my wife’s birthday.
Checkin/Checkout: Very easy/hassle-free. It was snowing when we were due to arrive so I was worried about parking but everything was plowed and there was plenty of room when we got there. It ended up snowing all weekend but we still had plenty of parking for my pickup truck with a full house.
Communication: I’m allergic to tree nuts and must have indicated that when I booked the room and Isabelle texted me personally to let me know that the morning treats wouldn’t contain nuts so I could enjoy them and made sure to let me know if there was anything with nuts. We texted Karim to borrow snowshoes and he immediately responded and was incredibly nice/accommodating and brought us snowshoes within minutes. Throughout the B&B there are notes that help guests and it’s like they’ve thought of anything that might be confusing and made sure to have notes to assist. You can tell they are very thoughtful people.
Food: THE FOOD. Wow the morning and afternoon treats were delicious, there was fruit near the coffee bar on Friday morning, and Saturday/Sunday breakfast was delicious and very well done. We wish we had Isabelle’s brioche every morning. Seriously, if she comes out with a cookbook, we’re buying. Coffee on Saturday/Sunday was French press and the coffee bar that’s always open had plenty of k cups and teas and an ice machine.
The Space: We stayed in the Willard from Thursday-Sunday and it’s a really well done room. Beautifully decorated and spacious. It’s in the front corner of the B&B so you can hear people walking up/down the stairs and some street traffic but absolutely does not deter from the quality of the room. The bathroom was spotless, the robes and slippers were great, and the shampoo/conditioner/body wash was all local and smelled so good. The general spaces are also beautifully decorated and had lots of games/books. We struck up conversations with many of the other guests we would see and everyone was just so friendly. I think this is because the vibe is very much small/community focused.
Things to do: There’s lots to do in Woodstock and Karim offered lots of suggestions/they have a board with the weekends activities to check out. We went snowshoeing at the Nordic center (borrowed the snowshoes from Woodstocker for free) which was so fun and the downtown area is very walkable/lots to do.
Overall, this was honestly a perfect getaway and we can’t wait to come back to stay with Karim and Isabelle at the...
Read moreWe stayed at the Woodstock in October for our 10th anniversary celebration trip I absolutely loved staying at this Inn! Isabelle and Karim are wonderful hosts. Everything about it is perfection. It is located a little ways away from the hustle and bustle of the main area in town but still in easy walking distance to everything. And any walk you take in Woodstock is a beautiful stroll. This Inn is one of the quietest places I have ever stayed. I absolutely love that there are no children allowed allowing for a peaceful and relaxing feel, even during the chaos that is the height of leaf-peeping season.||We stayed in the Willard room and it is lovely. The extra seating area is perfect for relaxing after a day of walking around town. As others have mentioned, the bath products are wonderful. The bed linens are cozy and the bed was quite comfortable. In addition to curtains, the windows have shades so if you really want to hibernate you can. There are so many thoughtful touches, including a personal note when you arrive along with some Vermont maple candy. Given that it was October, the Inn was also festively decorated for Halloween.||The breakfast offerings were fantastic! The pancakes are very, very good, and of course, the maple syrup is tasty. The French press coffee was an added delight. But hands-down, the breakfast winner is the homemade brioche! And during the day, fresh baked cookies are placed in a common area for guest to enjoy with a coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. The coffee and tea room off of the library is well-stocked with everything you could need for hot beverages. They even have a little jar of delicious candies there, too. ||I really want to come back and stay for about a week. I’d like to come back and do a hiking trip because I can think of no better way to relax after a day of hiking then returning to this relaxing sanctuary. Thank you so much for a...

Here's the hidden gem you've been searching for!||Step inside The Woodstocker B&B for a homely welcome, where freshly baked homemade treats and hot drinks await you. Comfy chairs beckon in the lounge and library whilst the bright dining area leads out to a pretty garden of blooming hydrangeas. ||Each bedroom or suite is unique (we stayed in Willard which was so spacious and comfy) and comes complete with dressing gowns and slippers to help you feel right at home. Bathrooms too have their own range of locally created products to pamper and soothe after a day of leaf peeping. ||Hot Breakfast selections are delicious and made to order from locally sourced produce and accompanied by Isabelle’s famous brioche buns. Lighter mid-week breakfasts are plentiful with a self-serve variety of fresh produce including Isabelle’s baking and the best blueberry lemon drizzle cake I’ve ever had! I went back for seconds! ||With ample parking at the rear, leave your car behind and stroll 5 minutes into the village centre to check out locally owned coffee shops, bars, restaurants, boutiques and artisan stores. This really is the perfect location! ||Isabelle & Karim are fabulous hosts and even share their favourite local restaurant recommendations and leaf peeping routes for the area. We had an early 6am start back to Boston on our last day so missed the hot breakfast. However Isabelle popped a "Breakfast Bag" in the fridge brimming with local yoghurt and homemade granola together with bowls and spoons for our journey. So thoughtful! We were so very grateful.||We can't wait to go back and will be booking our room again for...
