A charming Bed and Breakfast

We had a great stay at the Mad River Inn. Wonderful hosts, lovely old inn, delicious breakfast (and afternoon cookies!), impressive tea selection, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We had to cut our stay short unexpectedly, but we’ll be back!

We booked a stay here at the beginning of October. The hosts were so welcoming, and gave us ideas of where to explore in the area. The rooms were beautifully decorated, and so cosy. Breakfast was cooked fresh every morning, and the choices were delicious. There were freshly baked cookies daily, and other complimentary snacks I’d definitely return in a heartbeat
