A lovely stay at The Ira Allen House
We had a wonderful stay at The Ira Allen House! Our host, Michael, was very warm and welcoming. His attention to detail around cleanliness, decor and delicious breakasts were happily noted. We'll be back to visit this quaint B & B and spend time in the lovely town of Manchester.

A Delightful Place to Stay in Southwestern Vermont
The inn is old and doesn't offer the luxury of other inns and B&Bs in the area. But it was still a wonderful place to stay at a very good value. Michael, the owner, could not have been more attentive to our needs. He made a fantastic breakfast for us every day (as well as scrumptious cookies) that exceeded in both quality and quantity what one typically gets from more expensive inns & B&Bs. In addition, the room and bed were very comfortable and the shower was perfect. The inn was a short drive from Manchester and many good restaurants. I definitely recommend it.

Agreed with all comments about the exceptional home made style breakfast. However, the second night there was a group playing guitar and singing. With over 200 years house, this was not welcomed especially after a tiring long ski day. Phoned hotel and also Expedia on that same night but both myself and Expedia could not get hold off host for resolution. Got to know next Morning that the voicemail probably was played and heard but did not take action. These days with many craziness in the news, we as guest cannot confront with another group on our own to take risk especially with kids.
