The Blackinton Manor was our last stop on a 10-day trip through New England, staying at B&Bs and inns except for 2 nights in Boston. It was a charming respite for two tired travelers. We stayed in the bedroom on the first floor and were the only guests that weekend, so it was very private and peaceful. We were very grateful that we didn't have to haul our luggage up several flights of stairs as we had at some other otherwise-lovely old homes or inns. The mansion has been tastefully restored with antiques and reproductions, and updated for comfort and convenience. The bathroom, which was large, sunny and spotless was also fully modernized with a double, jetted tub and wall heater. The bedroom was unusually large for homes of that vintage, and featured a wonderfully comfortable bed with sumptuous bedding. We appreciated the care and taste that had obviously gone into selecting decor, and the high quality of the renovation work. The continental breakfast was pretty light, but this was a good thing, since we had eaten so much earlier in our trip. The helpful owner gave us good information about dining establishments and local attractions as well as driving times and routes to other towns and Albany airport. We were very pleased with our experience and would certainly recommend Blackinton Manor.

My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary in the Williamstown area and stayed at the Blackinton Manor. We found it to be very charming and the owners to be charming and helpful.
The breakfasts were wonderful and the house and room were
comfortable, elegant and very well appointed.
I would recommned it ot anyone.

The Blackinton Manor in North Adams, Massachusetts
August 23, 2007

The Blackinton Manor provided us with a thoroughly enjoyable two-night stay. The exterior’s clearly a work in progress in places, but the interior’s beautiful and immaculately clean. The hosts were welcoming and pleasant conversationalists throughout our time there. We found their advice on what to see in the area, and in particular on where to dine (or not dine), was very helpful. Our room with a private bath was comfortable and quiet, although the bathroom was small and limited to a shower. The neighborhood originally was home to leaders from the area’s nineteenth century mills and there are a number of very architecturally interesting buildings in the vicinity. Traffic was usually light and the overall impression was peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast offered a satisfactory number of choices, and the fruit and baked goods were very fresh. We would stay there again.

A very comfortable and relaxed B&B, with really excellent breakfasts. My wife and I would certainly stay again if we are in the area.
