Set across 17 acres of landscaped grounds with water features and romantic footbridges, this AAA 3-Diamond Williamstown hotel offers six luxury suites with 10-foot ceilings and gas fireplaces. The 1896 House Country Inn - Barnside Inn's accommodations feature king-size pillow-top beds, dual whirlpool tubs, and spacious dressing rooms. Each suite provides ground-floor entry from a wicker-furnished porch, plus amenities including 27-inch cable TV, DVD players, and complimentary WiFi. Guests can dine at The '6 House Pub, which serves dishes ranging from classic pub appetizers to upscale options like Lobster Martini. The property includes a spring-fed duck pond, heated outdoor swimming pool (Memorial Day to Labor Day), and gazebo along Hemlock Brook.

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.”
