Gratuity for your guide is customary. A general guideline is 20–25% or more of the total trip cost.
Activity Center
The property consistently wins over guests with its quintessential New England charm and beautiful setting in the heart of Woodstock. Many visitors rave about the luxurious suites, particularly in the Tavern wing, along with exceptionally comfortable beds that deliver some of the best sleep travelers have had in ages. The spa facilities earn high marks, and staff members like Jake the concierge and Francis at the front desk frequently get called out for their helpfulness and genuine hospitality. That said, a few patterns emerge around inconsistencies. Some guests have encountered housekeeping issues, from delayed room cleaning to maintenance concerns that feel out of step with the premium positioning. The Red Rooster Restaurant draws mixed feedback, with some disappointed by limited menu options and service that doesn't quite match the Inn's overall atmosphere, though Richardson's Tavern gets much stronger reviews. A handful of visitors also noted hearing staff complaints about being busy, which dampened the upscale experience they expected. Most guests still describe their stays as magical and worth returning for, especially those seeking a romantic New England getaway. The location offers easy access to charming Woodstock plus plenty of nearby activities. Just set realistic expectations about potential service variability, and you'll likely join the many satisfied visitors already planning their return trips.
Amazing place and a lovely town. The service and attention to detail was top notch. We are looking forward to going back soon. To the waiters who took such great care and entertained of our toddler daughter at the restaurant red rooster, you guys are amazing! The only request would be to have some baby seats for bikes and the same consistency in positive interactions is the spa and outdoor gear rental areas.
