Swift House Inn

the person at reception when we arrived did not introduce himself. that seemed to set the tone. I found the inn rather impersonal. no-one asked how our three day stay was going and unless we walked into the main building there seemed to be no staff around apart from those serving breakfast. at breakfast the menu offered a fancy version of french toast. i asked if could have a simple version (they had bread and eggs) and after enquiring with the chef was told this was not possible.

We recently celebrated our son’s wedding and used the Swift House as our home away from home. There just might not be enough adjectives to describe how perfect Mathew Robinson and his team made our visit. First, the location. It can’t be beat, walking distance to everything Middlebury. Second, the Inn itself. Separated into three buildings surrounded by gorgeous gardens, each and every room is comfortable, pretty, filled with every amenity you can think of and some you never thought of. Third, the staff could not be more accommodating. From Brett who I think slept at the registration desk as he was always there when we needed him. To Linus who made breakfast every morning a family affair. To Mathew, who truly makes every guest feel like family, you cannot ask for a more welcoming stay. Fourth, the food and drinks that came out of the kitchen and bar were delicious. Pretty last minute we asked Mathew if he could do a dinner party for us for 35 people who were coming in Thursday evening for the wedding. Of course he responded yes and then he executed an absolutely perfect kick off to our wedding weekend. Again his staff in the kitchen and at the bar and all the servers worked very hard to make this last minute Thursday evening event so memorable. Truly, if you have an event or even just find yourself in Middlebury VT, there is only one place to stay, The Swift House. Thank you Mathew and team, for making our wedding weekend magical.

We stayed at the Swift House Inn last night and were absolutely delighted. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The rooms are cozy with super soft sheets and sitting areas, and are beautifully and comfortably decorated. We ate dinner and breakfast at Jessica's which was wonderful. Overall the decor feels perfectly authentic and effortless, with lots to look at. The coffee, tea and brown butter chip cookies were icing on the cake. We got in off of the waiting list and only stayed one night, I really hope to come back. Thank you Swift House!

We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the bar/restaurant as well.

all good

Wonderful location, comfortable and well appointed rooms and gracious staff.
