"Charming historic hotel in a charming historic VT town. Great stay. "

"I enjoyed my stay at the Shire. It’s an odd mix of comfort, luxury, bargain and practicality. The room was clean and comfortable, if a bit worn. I sprang for a river front room, which was an excellent idea. The deck outside my door was right off of the lawn at the edge of the water, and it was a delight to have the soothing water sounds outside. In better weather, you can use the fire pits and Adirondack chairs to create a cozy vibe at the water’s edge. The drawback to the waterfront rooms is that you have to navigate a steep, rough staircase beside the building. The hotel’s location just minutes from downtown Woodstock was perfect. I even walked comfortably to Billings Farm, one of the town’s major sights. Be careful about closures out of season — many restaurants and shops were closed while I was there. But there’s a grocery store across the street that has a deli and prepared food. There’s a nice park (a reclaimed landfill) almost next door, with natural playground equipment and a walking trail. I visited friends at a higher-end resort down the street; they had an onsite restaurant, but I think my setting at the Shire was nicer!"
