The Egremont Village Inn

A very special place! Nick is wonderful with the right balance of being available but giving you space. The rooms are very clean, but it’s an old house; nearly 300 years old, so there will be creaks and normal settling for a home that age. There is no tv; I bring my laptop, but also enjoy the solitude. The Barn is open Wednesday through Sunday and provides a small menu, full bar and entertainment. The food was good; the service was excellent and the locals are very friendly. Probably my favorite part of the property is the rescue farm. I love waking up and visiting with the animals or coming back after a day’s adventures to see all these sweet animals. Nearly all are rescued from horrible situations and live happily with each other. It’s really the icing on an already sweet place. Also very convenient to Great Barrington, NY, and CT area towns. This is definitely a wonderful place to unwind and explore.Rooms: The rooms are small but clean and well kept. It would be awesome to have a small fridge, but also totally fine without. I would suggest cups and tissues, but everything else is spot onSafety: Very quiet area; rooms are deadbolted. I had the whole inn to myself and was not worried at allFood drinks: The on site entertainment is why I choose to stay here. After a long day exploring, it’s great to park the car, have a bite and a drink and listen to music while just having to walk up the driveway to go to bedNoteworthy details: It’s the rescued animals/farm and the peaceful feeling of the inn overall.

By far the worst experience I've ever had. Smoke alarm keep us up all night, never saw one staff member. No Breakfast , no dinner at the barn. Fire alarm was intermittent all night. Avant would not refund my full rate. And I will never use Avant for anything in the future.

Bare bones accommodation. Nothing is open from Monday to Wednesday at the Inn including the coffee shop or the Barn bar. So you have to drive to town for food. No refrigerator in rooms to store wet dog food either. I rarely saw anyone at all during my stay. They never answered their phone. I tried to call before my stay 3-4 times to make sure I was in a dog friendly room and no one answered. And then I called after checkout and left a message asking to explain why I was charged an additional $20 to the all inclusive bill from BringFido which I had already paid. I never got a return call. Poor communication, thinly staffed Inn and average room. Prepare to be awoken by people’s loud footfalls upstairs if you stay in one of the pet rooms in the basement. And given there are farm animals living on the property, I never wanted to let my dogs off leash. There was only a gravel parking lot for the dogs. All in all a pretty below average experience and a $20 surprise added to my bill with no explanation. Not a big deal but no TV’s in basement rooms or upstairs communal area either. Improvements needed. More like a hostel than an Inn.

We stayed in the Rebekah room, which is one of the smaller rooms, for the weekend. Clean, cozy rustic setting. We will probably get a bigger room next time we visit just for comfort (mostly bc I tend to overpack ? .Best parts about this place are 1 the people the friendliest and helpful staff you can ever have! Very welcoming and warm; and 2 the cafe that is open most mornings and afternoons of the week AMAZING coffee and tea drinks and delicious food for breakfast and lunch. Free drip coffee for inn guests!We also went to The Barn, their on site bar and restaurant, for dinner and drinks. Again, amazing and delicious food we would drive up just for the burgers!We had a great time and only wish we could've stayed longer. We would love to go back for another visit sometime!
