    Spent the night in a charming suite for a Christmas present for my boyfriend. We had an incredible dinner at the inn and were blown away by the Brunch the following morning. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to "get away from it all" without going far from home in a cozy, truly memorable setting.

    We just spent one night at the Longwood Country Inn, and we were delighted with the charming room, the spacious bathroom, the comfy bed and the entire atmosphere. The manager was friendly and helpful with directions to our destination that evening, and even offered his cell phone number in case we got lost!! We would enthusiastically recommend the Longwood Country Inn.

    Great dinner, room too hot for a summer stay.

    The innkeeper gave us a different room on arrival after telling us that the AC guy had been out that day and stated the AC was working well but he thought the room we were supposed to stay in was too hot. The room we were in was nice but the temperature had to exceed 90 degrees overnight, too hot to sleep comfortably. The dinner was excellent but the breakfast was mediocre pastry that could have been purchased from Cosco, obviously not made by the same chef from the dinner before or the dessert chef. I would return for dinner but not to stay, at least not in the summer.

    Nice stay

    We stayed at the inn for 2 nights with family visiting from the West. Woodbury is a beautiful town and the inn is conveniently located and a great area to explore. Tony, the manager, was wonderful, accommodating and friendly. He went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We had nice breakfasts and a good dinner; the atmosphere of the inn is truly New England.
