Our historic inn and two restaurants in southern Vermont offer on-site dining year-round and feature locally-sourced ingredients prepared by food-loving professionals to create timeless, hearty dishes that will please any palate.

    Love long Trail. Was disappointed they didn’t have the Cheddar Ale soup. They only had Gazpaucho which is a cold soup which after a day of hiking did not entice me. Overall love going there. Food is good!

    Always love the old Dorset Inn. The food, service and ambiance, especially in the Tavern Room, are exceptional. We had the dinner rolls right out of the oven, followed by a cup of soup for me and hummus for my dinner partner. Then I had the sautéed calves liver and onions while my partner had butter-milk fried chicken. For dessert we shared a chocolate brownie sundae. All delicious!

    Found this gem when trying to find a cute place for dinner just outside of Manchester. Barrows House was exactly what we were looking for and the food was amazing. We shared 4 smaller plates with drinks and dessert and everything was great. Sitting outside with the autumn weather and fire pits nearby was the perfect ambiance. Glad we found this restaurant and would recommend to anyone in the area, visiting like we were or even a local who has not tried it yet.
