What Guests Are Saying
“4 stars! Two thumbs way up - highly recommend! We spent our 5 year anniversary here, and this place is amazing. The hosts were incredibly gracious and kind, going above and beyond to accommodate us, including providing champagne glasses in our room. There were snacks and hot drinks available when we arrived, and we felt warmly welcomed. The room was immaculate and spacious. Our space had a large spa tub (I need one of these!), a fireplace, and the bed was one of the most comfy I’ve ever experienced. The breakfast was OUTSTANDING both mornings, with many delicious choices. It was the only reason we ever left our incredible room! We will definitely stay again; it was wonderful!!” — Christine S., 5 stars
“What a quaint country get away in vermont! Everything was great-the staff were welcoming and friendly, the decor makes you step back in time, we had a fantastic massage and will be back again! We stayed in the carriage house and absolutely loved the gigantic tub and cozy fireplace! Unfortunately they were not really serving a true dinner when we were there but there were snacks and a full breakfast. Plenty of other good choices nearby. Couldn’t believe this place didn’t cost more! Do yourself and the community a favor by giving your money to the locals here instead of funneling it into corporate American up in Manchester and get yourself a true taste of Vermont instead!” — Lisa D., 5 stars
“Our recent stay at the Arlington Inn was fabulous. The room was spacious and very clean. Gas fireplace was useful as the nighttime temperature was below zero. Breakfast in the morning was homemade and delicious. Our host, Cheryl, was friendly and made our stay perfect. Strongly recommend.” — Alan O., 5 stars

What guests are saying about Arlington Inn & Spa.
"We travel to VT's Manchester/Arlington/Bennington area at least a few times a year and this has been one of the nicer places we've stayed. My wife booked it, thinking she had gotten a room with a fireplace and Queen bed and Cheryl actually called to say she could upgrade us to a room with a King (Pamela's Suite), which we took. She unwittingly saved the weekend, since my wife had actually booked a room without a fireplace, but Pamela's suite had a nice gas-fired one. Thank you Cheryl! People complaining about the food probably had visited while the previous owners were there, as one of them was also the chef. We didn't partake of the breakfast (as we love "Up For Breakfast" in Manchester), but the room looked nice and it was probably an okay hotel-included option. The room itself was spacious, clean, had a comfy bed, and was quite charming. I wish we could have bought a piece of furniture out of our room. If I'm looking to complain about something, the shower pressure could have been better, but it was fine and there was plenty of hot water. Cheryl and the rest of the staff were bubbly, helpful, and a joy to talk to. It's apparently been up for sale for over a year now, and we hope the next owners appreciate the great staff and good bones of the place. Note that the Tavern is only open Fridays and Saturdays if you want to take advantage. Give the Arlington Inn a try!"

The staff were so kind and welcoming, asked us if we needed anything for our baby and made our room up right away. We hunkered down in the snowstorm and had a wonderful evening at the tavern with Dave the bartender and chatted some lovely other families. Breakfast in the morning was delicious before we continued our adventure up to Stowe. So glad we found the Arlington Inn!"

The garden was in full bloom and was a beautiful backdrop to our ceremony. The elopment package they offer was amazing, and included everything we needed. The suite we stayed in was lovely and the hospitality was unmatched! Cheryl is so kind and accommodating. The town makes you feel like you stepped back in time, but also had close proximity to a walmart and dollar store. 11/10 would recommend getting married here!"
