The Old Inn On The Green

About The Hotel

The Old Inn on the Green has stood on the New Marlborough village green since 1760, and it remains best known for its restaurant — a candlelit, multi-course prix fixe that guests regularly rank among the finest dining experiences in the Berkshires. The inn pairs that with antique-filled period rooms spread across the 1760 house and adjacent buildings, a pool, a bar, and a genuinely quiet rural setting south of Great Barrington. It is a romantic, away-from-it-all stay built around dinner, a country walk, and an unhurried evening rather than resort amenities, holding a 4.3 rating across roughly 300 reviews. Some of the historic rooms are candlelit and TV-free by design.

What Guests Are Saying

“We had an amazing dinner at the historic Inn on the Green. Matthew, our attentive waiter, and the rest of the staff made our dinner very special. The three course prix fixe ($75.00) was delicious. Each course was outstanding. We both opted for the veal cheeks as our entree. We had never had them before. They were tender and delicious. Appetizers and desserts were equally delicious. In our small dining room, one of four dining rooms, there were just 5 tables. By absolute coincidence three of the five tables were celebrating their October 16th wedding anniversary. We were celebrating #46, as was the couple at the next table. The table behind us was occupied by folks celebrating their first. What are the odds - 3 couples celebrating 10/16 as their anniversary. When the “newlyweds” left another young couple replaced them. They, too, were celebrating their anniversary a day ahead of time. Our small dining room was certainly “alive!” Folks in the other 3 small dining rooms were wondering what they were missing in our dining room. FYI - this wonderful inn is in the middle of nowhere, but it’s worth the trip.” — T-Grip, 5 stars

“One of the most excellent dining experiences we’ve had. We were there on a rainy Saturday night as guests of dear friends, and it was a lovely visit with them. The drive thought the quiet, lush countryside helped make it an extraordinary evening. Thank you to the extremely courteous staff who were attentive but didn’t rush us. Thank you, Matthew. Unbelievably delicious dinner, artistically presented, with many extra courses. Charming candlelight ambiance. Quiet so that we could talk during dinner. One special treat was a HOT coffee cup! Not only the coffee, but the cup was hot. Hot bread, too, brought up from Tribecca in NYC. The meal was perfect from the beginning to the end. What a wonderful evening. It’s rare to have such an amazing dinner with fabulous service The chefs and staff get 5 stars from us. Thank you to everyone at The Inn on the Green for offering a delightful evening in every way. (However, a grown up potty would be nice! Ha.)” — myrna631, 5 stars

“A gastronomic delight and a wonderful experience. Attention to detail in every respect. Matthew was a wonderful server and never rushed us to order. The food was so well prepared with interesting and unusual pairings and served hot. Romantic candlelight ambience. We were a party of four and could have conversations that were heard. We went on a rainy night and called ahead to inquire about a handicap entrance. Most obliging and told us to come in the ramp near the kitchen. We had been here pre Covid and wanted to come back. We drove an hour because we remembered how special and delicious the meal and the evening were. Old Inn on the Green never disappoints..it only invites and treats. Well worth the money!” — JAN R., 5 stars
