Hotels near Bear Mountain in Salisbury

Arrived to find the Reception area being completely renovated -- fair enough, but there was no signage to indicate where to find the temporary reception, which was in a makeshift corner of a conference room and neither clean nor inviting. Very young, rumpled staff were friendly but completely inexperienced and unprofessional. No elevator to get our heavy bags to our room, and no reason why. Was told by Sarah (?) that the included continental breakfast would feature 'pastries, yogurt and fruit'; the next morning, we were directed instead to a platter of pre-wrapped slices of banana bread in a basement lounge area. That was 'breakfast'. We said this was unacceptable and the young chap on reception agreed, but had absolutely no apology nor insight as to why this was the case. Despite a spacious, clean and well appointed bedroom, the entire experience was rather a shock and certainly a disappointment. The Interlaken has been a feature of the Lakeville landscape for decades, and I expected far more than this.

We've stayed in the White Hart before, and have always loved the ambiance, rooms, and food. However this time was so disappointing. We stayed in room 32, which was a lower level King bed suite in the separate cottage. The room itself was lovely. However, I would never stay here again. Starting in the early evening, and then again first thing in the morning, every single footstep in the upstairs room could be heard as though it was a herd of elephants. We finally called the front desk, who tried to help, and when the upstairs guests did not answer their phone, the staff member came over to knock on their door. They did have children who must have been constantly in motion, although the guests denied it. They may not have realized that in such an old buidling, every step can be heard below, and even when told, did not think it appropriate to try and restrain their children. While the hotel staff expressed their apologies (in the evening, and again when I mentioned it at checkout), nothing was done. Recognizing that guest behavior is out of the control of management, these upper floor rooms should not allow young children (unless some sort of sound proofing is added). These rooms are not inexpensive, and for a special evening away, we were sorely disappointed. Update: Mgmt did recognize our suboptimal experience and refunded us a portion of our stay, which was the appropriate response for an inn of their quality.

In the late 1980s, while driving back home from college with my girlfriend, we broke down in the middle of the night - in winter - not far from this inn. This predated cellphones so my girlfriend and I walked back down the road to this place; there being really nothing else around. After a while of knocking, this lady came to the door and we explained our predicament. She said we could call our parents, but that it made the most sense to just stay the night and she'd help us get gasoline in the morning. She set us up with a very nice room with a working fireplace. In the morning, she made us a great breakfast and took us into town to grab gas. Never charged us a penny nor accepted any offering. Ever since then, I've wanted to come back here and stay as a paying customer - just a way to thank the owners. Unfortunately, those owners sold and there are new owners. However, I'm quite convinced were the scene to play out today, it would go much the same. We had a lovely stay. Even though we only live about a half hour away, I decided to take my wife (not the same girl from college) for a quick getaway - AND to check off this bucket list item. We booked a single overnight in the cottage. The inn was proactive about making sure they knew when we'd be arriving to make sure everything was set. The fireplace is wonderful. There's plenty of room to cozy up to it with both chairs and throw pillows. There's a whirlpool tub that we did not make use of (this time). We have it on good authority that it takes a long time to fill so plan accordingly. (There's a great little guest book in the room with this tidbit). The king-size bed was very comfortable. There's a mini-fridge in there, basic cable TV, and WiFi. Convenient, but go to this inn to UNplug. We did have a problem with the heat in the cottage but Lucas was extremely attentive and corrected the issue immediately. The next day, he was also our breakfast chef who's as handy with kitchen appliances as he is with furnaces. The breakfast was very good. Friends of ours go away fairly regularly but they don't necessarily travel far; they just do little escapes like this. They've inspired us. We think it's a good idea - it's nice to just get away for a day or two even if it's just around the corner. We will return here to try some of the other rooms and certainly to take advantage of the pool in the summer. If you're looking to meander and spend some quiet time with your spouse, the NW corner of the state is great and you cannot go wrong hanging your hat at the Blackberry River Inn for a few nights.

Nice enough place. Clean enough, although the pool needs resurfacing, and the spa pool didn't work at all. But, I had issues both days of my stay with breakfast. It was supposed to start at 6:30. We were in the area to attend racing school at Lime Rock Park and needed to be on the road by 6:40. I ficured I would catch a quick bite and go. Except, breakfast wasn't ready at 6:30. Or 6:35. Or 6:40. Had to go. The second day we had a bit more time. I started serving myself food, using all the appropriate serving utensils. The attendant pointed to a sign saying disposable gloves were needed. He said it wasn't mandatory, but when I continued he literally got in my face and started lecturing me about ”the virus.” This is August 2022, not 2020. Mind you, he wasn't wearing a mask, neither was I, nor were any of the hotel employees or guests, nor did the hotel require masks. It seems this service employee decided on his own that surface contamination was the greater risk (even though we know it isn't), and implemented his own rules, I assume with his employer's permission. Sorrry, you lose at least one star for that. And I'm probably being generous.
