Pros

Six uniquely decorated period-style suites with individually chosen antiques

Suite 201 offers a kitchenette for extended stays

Pet-friendly rooms available at Pondside with welcome treats for dogs and cats

On-site pub features outdoor terrace with fire pit and specialized kids' menus

Cons

Two-night minimum stay required on special event weekends

Children under 14 not permitted in luxury suites

“The Barnside Inn distinguishes itself with unique period décor and customizable guest experiences, though some accounts indicate that maintenance and management may not align with its luxury aspirations. Its proximity to The Clark Art Institute and Jiminy Peak makes it appealing for those seeking culture and outdoor activities. I observed mentions of potential issues with room conditions and service consistency; these should be considered.”
