Great stay; New England Charm
A lovely inn. Very welcoming upon checkin and departure. We were greeted with local cheese and crackers in the room. The four poster bed was comfy and the bathroom had good water pressure soft towels and nice toiletries. We ate at the tavern for dinner which was surprisingly good. And the included, made to order breakfast had ample choices and was very good. I would stay here again if my travels brought me to Grafton.

The Grafton Inn was everything you would want in a country inn.
The location is in a small picturesque village within easy access to hiking, skiing, and shopping.
The rooms are very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Our king bedroom did not have a TV, which actually suited our getaway trip.
The included breakfast was fresh and delicious and complete with juice and fruit cup.
The meals at the onsite restaurant were very good and, actually, too large for our appetites.
Above all was the friendliness of the entire staff. They couldn’t have been more naturally helpful and accommodating to our needs.
The Grafton Inn has become our accommodation of choice when visiting Vermont.

A Gem
From the minute we walked in until our departure the next day, we experienced true welcoming hospitality that was pleasant, helpful and considerate. Staff are truly professional. Our dining experiences were excellent both st dinner and breakfast. Rooms are generous, beautifully decorated and have modern baths that still retain authentic character. There is history in the inn itself and in the historic and unspoiled town (the hotel provided walking map is helpful).

Across the board this Inn and it's employees were wonderful, friendly and helpful!
Not only was the Inn beautiful and friendly the entire village of Grafton was as well!
Could not have been a nicer visit.
This Inn and the village certainly have raised the bar!

Nice inn. They need to modernize the kitchen and serve more healthy options
The management was very accommodating relative to a last minute change to our reservation and very helpful and cheerful throughout our stay. Despite being over 200 years old, the property was very clean, comfortable, and in great condition. It had modern conveniences without any compromise on the Inn's historical charm. The restaurant was very good and convenient.
Grafton is a very small, charming New England town. But there is little to do in the evening (which was fine by us -- on one of our many walks, we were greeted by a local resident from her front porch). There are many hiking/skiing trails nearby, so this property would be ideal year-round.

Lovely Grafton Inn
We had a lovely experience at the Grafton Inn. The check in process was easy, parking was easy (and they even had chargers for electric vehicles). They directed us to an outdoor center for hiking and other fun outdoor activities. Breakfast was included and it was an ok breakfast but it was served in a lovely outdoor garden setting. The Inn is a quaint older inn with very comfortable rooms. The bed was a little old and a bit too bouncy but that was my only complaint. I would definitely stay there again.

Quaint Inn
Very quaint inn - room had a very slight musty smell but considering the age of the building it's to be expected. No tv in our room (odd these days). Dinner was excellent - dined in the "barn" upstairs. Cheese shop right across from the inn had a nice selection of wines as well. Neighborhood is extremely quiet and small. The rocking chairs on the front porch were a nice touch. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience.
