    We visited the Fullerton Inn yesterday while in the area for lunch and had a great time. The day was beautiful so we were seated at the patio, where we could catch the sides as we dined. There was a wonderful breeze which made it comfortable to eat. Our server was Chloe and she was so sweet and helpful. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak which came in a toasted roll, served with peppers and onions. I ordered the onion rings which were ok, a bit over done for my taste. The cheesesteak was really good, I enjoyed it. While we sat waiting for our food, the table had a box of trivia cards which we enjoyed playing as we waited.

    I don't know how on earth this place only has three stars. We had a fabulous lunch, with great service, in an equally beautiful bluebird day. With the pandemic having kept us home for some time, and with New England's pandemic status allowing us a bit more freedom, we decided that every weekend, we'd go tour our local area, with masks, disinfectant, wipes, sanitizer and additional PPE on hand. Our third week of touring was mostly in Vermont. We came in from New Hampshire after touring Acton and Chesterfield, and by that time we were hungry. So we stopped in the charming and iconic town of Chester. After walking around for a half hour, we decided on a place to eat. The Fullerton was open, with beautiful veranda seating, scrupulous sanitation and more than expected social distancing. We often just pass by Chester on the way to Okemo so this was a wonderful way to get to know the town. We were seated on the spot although the place was starting to fill up and a large group was asked to wait. The Maître d' was quite affable and chuckled when I opened up my side bag with enough disinfectant to outfit a small hospital. Our waitress was also superb. I started with a Fiddlehead microbrew IPA which was delicious. We then ordered our lunch, I had a sumptuous Chef Salad; my husband had an equally superb burger. After lunch, we had a superb walk in the village, visiting different stores, admiring the amazing architecture of some of the old buildings, now beautifully restored and looking over an old cemetery with several dozen graves dating to the War for Independence and the Civil War. Chester is one beautiful place and the Fullerton is an equally superb part of it. Totally enjoyed our time there.

    This little town of chester puts a lot of time and effort into decorating. My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night the first weekend of October. It came to $200. Our room was very small with and outdoor porch which you share with the room next door. The walls are thin so you do hear the cars driving by at night. This place is 100 years old so be aware the rooms are small and the place is old but kept up very well. The only disappointment I had was the continental breakfast. The did not have eggs meat and potatoes. Which for $200 a night expected. The staff was very polite and curtious. The lunch menu and dinner menu is VERY affordable. The food was delicious i will be coming back. Such a great experience

    I recently stayed at the Fullerton Inn in Chester Vermont this July on a spare of the moment trip that was unplanned. Found the Inn on hotels.com but my internet was was bad so I could not read much about it or book online so I called . The woman who answered was friendly and said she had lots of rooms available and the prices were the same as online. We asked about food as we were hungry from being on the road. She said the restaurant is open. We arrived about an hour later. A man and a woman were both working the front. Turns out the cook is also an inn keeper and a host and a waiter. Checked in , paid asked for a reservation for a table outside. She said ok like twenty mins. So we went up stairs to freshen up and drop off luggage . The old carpets in the hall smelled like your grandmothers home, and like smoke. Walking up the stairs a dog started barking from one of the rooms and scared the b Jesus out of me as it said no dogs allowed . After not hearing from anyone we went back down stairs . I had never stayed at an Inn before but had worked at two well know ones in my area as a house keeper and waitstaff. So I thought this would be a special stay with a nice dinner. We're sat at the table outside . The chairs did not go with the table as I'm 5'2" and the table was too high to even rest my arm on . We wanted to order a drink since it was a special occasion . The waitress said what would you like I said a blue Hawaiian. She said we don't have that . I said a bahama mama ? Nope . Sex on the beach ? no. Sorry I said what do you have ?! She said let me go get a drink menu, it literally had 3 strange mixed drinks , beer and wine. She said she just got her bartending license?!. Since this place advertises a lounge bar can't someone make a mixed drink ? You tube has many quick recipes . Literally had to beg for a mixed drink and there were no prices listed ! So the waitress finally comes back over and we order an app. French onion soup and an entree of pork chop. I mention I have a nut allergy. Two hours pass . Literally. No bread and butter . No app. This was the start of the worst stay I've ever had . Should have got up and left but we were too tired and hungry. The food came out. The app and the food together. I just looked at the French onion soup. Just broth . The waitress says the croutons had nuts. Who uses croutons?! What croutons have nuts ? MY S.O. Had croutons and his looked just as bad . It was cold . The main meal was small and cold and the brussel sprouts were not cooked all the way and the pork chop was burnt. I have never left any restaurant still hungry . The food was bad and I was still hungry . Restaurant bill $130. $60 was 4 drinks that we don't even think had alcohol. Was unable to order a coffee or soda to take to the room. The waitress could not even bother to get a water to take to the room. I forgot my phone charger and asked if they had an extra so we could watch tv on my tablet . The bad was very old and too soft. You sink in and can't get out. At least the room had ac .the bath room and shower were super small. Went to shut off the ac when we left and there was mouse poop. Went down for breakfast .fruit bagel English muffin yogurt coffee orange juice. I chose bagel cream cheese and coffee. I was starving by this point .I have never had a salty bagel with salty cream cheese . Couldn't eat that either. . Both times coming down the stairs I tripped on the un even floor and almost went flying . If you have a hard time with stairs or a larger person this is not the place for you . I was not going to leave a review. It it's been over a week I really had to think about this, I looked over all the websites and I feel like I was cat fished ! The place looks nothing like the photos as they were from ten years ago and different owners ! . I spent the next three nights in a 2.5 star slum hotel in NY . The Wyndham and it was better than this place by far ! We had tv , a mini fridge a comfy bed . They gave us water and granola bars when we arrived ! This was the worst stay I've ever had. I would give negative amount of stars if possible. I do not recommend this place to anyone . PS- two people voted this review unhelpful . Prolly the owners . This represents my experience 100 percent like it or not , owners need to fix problems and give people respect and service when paying for service at their establishment. And they over charged us on our card .didn't find that out until we got bank statement .

    Traditional Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner
    Ann E.

    Went to the Fullerton Inn with my sister & her hubby for Thanksgiving Dinner. We had reservations for 1pm and were seated promptly in the tavern section of the restaurant in front of a blazing fireplace-so cozy. Lorraine did an exceptional job of serving us. There was a limited menu for the holiday. We started with cocktails-a Salted Caramel Martini for me and a Thanksgiving Margarita for Janie. Both were delicious. For appetizers, 2 of us had the Maple Butternut Bisque which was so thick and yummy. Pete had the Fullerton Greens Salad which had craisins, mandarin oranges & nuts over the greens. We all had the traditional Turkey dinner-a generous serving of moist Turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and stuffing with gravy, of course. The vegetable blend included carrots, beets & parsnips. Very good. We all had the chocolate Mousse for dessert which came with berries and whipped cream. Pete had vanilla ice cream to go with his dessert. We all enjoyed our meals. No complaints from any of us.

    Quaint Inn and it was rebuilt in 1922. Rooms are outdated and very small. Bathrooms were not super clean. Service at the bar started out well with Nancy and then everyone just disappeared. We had to look for help when we were ready to order. Finally Cody offered service. Brett seemed to have an odd disposition and wasn't very friendly. Vermont is beautiful and the changing of the seasons was amazing. I probably wouldn't stay here again.

    For the life of me I do not understand why this place has even three stars. If I could rate it less than one star I would. - they would not allow our well behaved dog even though they had plenty of outside seating. We couldn't leave her in the car in the heat so we ended up ordering takeout. For being in a very dog friendly state, this restaurant lacked in any accommodations for pets. - they told us 10 to 15 minutes for our food. It ended up being 45 minutes - my husband got the burger... It said it came with fries but I think he got about five fries? See the photo. The burger itself was barely cooked and was somehow cold. Ugh. - I got the Vermont bacon salad. I added chicken to it for protein. When we finally got our order there was no chicken and the salad was so small it could barely qualify as an appetizer. I have had bigger salads at Wendy's at Chick-fil-A. Don't go here. Rude staff, a slow kitchen, bad portions, and tasteless food.

    New gift shop opening in November.
    Mbb T.

    We arrived at the Fullerton Inn with another couple on Saturday, 10/29. Check-in is at 3 o'clock but we did some other things prior to arriving and I think we checked in at around 5:15. One couple had a room with a porch and one did not. We were informed of a Halloween parade that would be taking place at 5:40! We were thrilled. We sat on the porch and watched the parade, then walked over to the bonfire to look at all the decorated car trunks for trunk or treat. It was a very nice surprise. The inn is a beautiful old building right on the Main Street. The rooms are small, but have everything you need, including a hairdryer which I forgot to bring. Note that there are no televisions in the room. I was thrilled, my husband, not so much! We ate When we got back from trunk or treat. I was a little sensory overstimulated and Lorraine was kind enough to seat us in a quiet room at my request. I also was not hungry at all due to circumstances beyond my control. Lorraine was also kind enough to make me a personal charcuterie board for my meal. Thank you Lorraine! . All of the staff that we encountered were very nice. The only disappointment was that the new(?) gift shop next-door wasn't opening until November 1, and the fabric store a couple of doors down was closed on Sunday and we only did an overnight trip. Unfortunate, as I am a quilter / fabric hoarder and I could see lovely Moda fabrics through the windows. Sadly, I see that the fabric store is closing in November. I hope that Chester, along with the rest of the country can pull it together after the pandemic. It's a lovely town with lovely people and great costumes! If you are looking to stay at a place rich with history, rather than a resort type hotel, I highly recommend the Fullerton Inn. It's lovely.

    We stayed at the Franklyn Farm Inn for two nights, based on the content of its web site (site) and…read moreonline reviews, such as Google Reviews and booking.com. The site is misleading, and the reviews generally don't reflect our experience. Examples follow. First, though, I want to mention that we enjoyed speaking with "JJ," who was very helpful, pleasant, and informative. The comfortable rocking chairs and shawls are a nice touch. The site states, "Daily Baked Good. Enjoy homemade treats." The mass produced store bought cookies tasted awful. We weren't offered, and we didn't see or smell, any "baked good[s]" or "homemade treats." The closest "baked good" was a Pillsbury Grands biscuit served one of the mornings. The site indicates breakfast is served "7:30-9:30 a.m.," but it was served from 8 to 9 a.m. Neither day did breakfast even closely resemble the photos on the site. The first day, the commercially prepared French toast was undercooked. The second day, the commercially prepared quiche was barely warm. Both mornings, we ate all of our breakfast because we were very hungry. We've stayed at other B&Bs, in the US and in Europe, where the food (including the baked goods) was homemade and far superior to the two breakfasts that the Franklyn Farm Inn served. As stated on the information sheet posted on the room wall, towels aren't replaced, and the room isn't made up, daily. There was no place in the "petite" bathroom (or in the sleeping area) to hang the lush towels to dry. We were provided only one wash cloth each, even though we stayed for more than one night. The small trash receptacle wasn't emptied during our stay. At other B&Bs where we've stayed, towels were replaced at least every other day, there was an appropriate space in which to hang the towels to dry, the number of wash cloths was more than adequate, and the room was made up daily. During our entire stay, the hottest water in the bathroom sink was lukewarm. The liquid hand soap for the bathroom sink appeared to be diluted. The windows in the sleeping area are filthy, and the only way to keep either of the windows open is with a provided "stick." The first night, the room temperature was comfortably cool. However, the second night, the room was very uncomfortable because it was extremely hot and dry. The step provided to get into and out of the much too high comfortable beds is dangerous, as it slides on the wooden floor. Stuart, the dog, is cute and friendly. However, he may be "too much" for those who prefer to admire him from a distance. Per our request, the inn keeper supposedly gave us a senior discount. However, we've since noticed online that, in fact, we didn't receive a discount. Considering the above, almost $300 for two nights, including tax, is much too expensive. We won't return to, and we won't recommend, the Franklyn Farm Inn.
