Inn on Putney Road Bed and Breakfast

About The Hotel

From $284/night, the Inn on Putney Road is Brattleboro’s standout: a 4.9-rated French-style B&B with perfect 5.0 cleanliness and service scores. Gas-fireplace rooms, unbelievable multi-course breakfasts, and gracious hosts Paul and Judy make this a romantic getaway on the Connecticut River. The price is premium, and rooms book quickly during foliage and event weekends. But if you seek an immaculate, hosted experience with morning coffee and a fireplace, this is the town’s only genuine four-star choice. Walkable to downtown with ample parking.

What Guests Are Saying

“I chose the Inn due to its proximity to downtown shopping and it’s quaint appearance. We were welcomed even before arriving and the check in process was simple and efficient. The Inn has the charm of a house built almost 100 years ago and the hosts were extremely accommodating, assisting with anything we needed. I spent a lot of time sitting by the main fireplace reading a book, getting warm after a cold day of sightseeing. I enjoyed meeting people at breakfast but also having the space to dine without feeling the pressure to converse with others. Speaking of breakfast. Both mornings we were there the breakfast was UNBELIEVABLE. Fresh, delicious, hearty, surprising (a wonderful salad for the first course), and hot right out of the kitchen. We never ate again until dinner! The electric fireplace in our room lent a bit of ambiance on a cold winters night but it also was just enough of a heat source to keep the room cozy. I loved our entire weekend and would stay there again without hesitation.” — Mary T., 5 stars

“My niece and I just spent 18 days in New England staying three nights each in six different locations. Our stay at The Inn on Putney Road was, by far, our favorite. My niece stayed in The Mountain View Room and I stayed in The Ripley Suite. Both rooms were absolutely beautiful. Each had everything you could ask for. While I enjoyed the room with the separate living area, she chose to spend her evenings after our daily adventures in her room enjoying everything it had to offer. We typically don’t eat breakfast but we made an exception while at The Inn on Putney Road as Paul’s breakfast are not to be missed. He must have been a professional chef in his prior life. Another plus is the inn is located in a quiet area away from all the touristy areas - easy in, easy out, and sufficient parking. I would highly recommend The Inn on Putney Road if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, uniquely beautiful, well-appointed place to stay during your visit to Vermont.” — Rhonda P., 5 stars

“We celebrated my husband’s 65th birthday on a sunny, cold, snowy weekend in January. We had a great time. The Inn was amazing. We are both vegans, and Paul and Judy made us amazing 3-course vegan breakfasts (we also overheard non-vegan guests raving about the food!). We stayed in the suite, which was luxurious. The bed was super comfortable, the shower had great pressure, the hosts included yummy snacks in the room, the coffee and tea were top-notch. The location of the Inn is also ideal. It’s quiet and picturesque, but close enough to easily walk into town. I can recommend the Inn on Putney Road without reservation!” — Elizabeth Z., 5 stars

The Location

On Putney Road (Route 5) just north of downtown Brattleboro in a quiet spot near the West River and Connecticut River confluence. An easy drive (or longer walk) into Main Street’s shops, galleries, and restaurants, but peaceful and set apart from downtown traffic. You can find more details or book your stay on TripAdvisor.
