The South Shire has the potential to be a really nice place. Unfortunately, it's not. There has been a lot of deferred maintenance and the rooms need to be significantly updated. It also feels like the owners are cutting a lot of corners to make short-term profits at the expense of long-term success. Outsourcing calls and a poor website are just a few examples.
If you want an authentic Victorian experience this charming hotel is perfect. The rooms have been carefully restored and nice attention to detail. Well located for an easy walk to the center of town.
All was great, but the dining and musical entertainment was absolutely fabulous.
Absolutely beautiful location and building, with gorgeous rooms, and a wonderful, wonderful owner! Clean and cozy. We were fortunate enough to acquire a room last minute as travel plans changed and were so in love with the place we immediately made reservations to go back for 2 nights in a few months. Worth every. Single. Penny. Lots of things to do and see along Route 7 and Bennington, but I bet you'll want to just hang around the South Shire the whole time.
