Inn at Valley Farms B&B, Cottages and Farmhouse

We arrived on a Monday after having a hectic weekend of relatives. Our room, the Garden Room, had wonderful views of the farm and the orchard across the road. It was very relaxing to walk the grounds, view the gardens, sit in the lawn chairs, hear the chickens, and take in the beautiful view of rolling green countryside. Jackie is the innkeeper and serves a delicious breakfast made with fresh ingredients from the farm and is very hospitable. I learned so much from her about the chickens and livestock on the farm. Walpole is a beautiful town and Jackie will tell you what not to miss. There are various comfortable common rooms with many books to sit and read to plan your day in the area. We enjoyed our stay here immensely.

First time guests at Inn at Valley Farms. The Innkeeper, Jacqueline greeted us like old friends stopping by for a visit. Outstanding all the way. (five stars) Hospitality--Rooms---linens--organic farm fresh Breakfast (feast)---great conversation with other guests---and Peace and quiet---everything you expect in a B & B, but seldom ever get! We will most definitely be back!!! I highly recommend Valley Farms Inn for a beautiful quintessential New England experience. The extra added bonus--its a working farm with the cute farm animals!!!

The inn is everything you would hope to own if you could. The rooms are decorated with antiques and period wallpaper and colors. There is lots of natural light and great views from all rooms. The farm is clean and friendly and peaceful. The plantings around the home are done with care to what is planted where it will grow best. We were made to feel like family or good friends visiting. The only drawback was we had to drive a bit, Half hour or more to find things to do. Some people like to just relax so that would not be a problem for them. We enjoyed our stay very much.

My family and I felt like "part of the farm" instantly! My little girls loved gathering eggs and observing the workings of the farm. Jackie went out of her way to tell us about the animals and farming in general. We loved having fresh eggs and chives with homemade baked goods for our breakfast, such a treat! Will definitely encourage friends to take their families here for a unique, and educational getaway.

We had a fantastic time at the Inn at Valley Farms. Jackie is extremely helpful, and her farm is beautiful. She very kindly suggested fun activities in the area for us to do -- meeting her chickens and feeding her neighbor's calves were some of our favorite parts of the weekend. Highly recommended, particularly during the winter!

Once again my husband and I stayed at the Inn at Valley Farms (January 6-8, 2012), but this time we brought along the family and stayed in Bellows Cottage instead of the Inn. We came into town to surprise my husband's mother for her 70th birthday. Everything worked out perfect. The owner, Jackie, is so welcoming and hugged us both when we arrived. The whole family enjoyed their stay and the amenities were perfect for us, which included our 18 month grand daughter. Jackie provided us with a pack and play, a gate for the stairs and a booster seat! The delivery of a breakfast basket including baked goods and fresh bread and eggs was most welcoming. We also got to tour the barn and our grand daughter enjoyed feeding the pigs. What a wonderful weekend we had. If you want a place to stay together with your family, then definitely choose one of the cottages at the Inn at Valley Farms. Thanks, Jackie, you helped make this a special weekend.

We were coming to New England for a wedding, purchased gifts in the area, then needed some R&R time, prior to the hectic family event in Maine. The Inn at Valley farms satiated our palates, soothed our souls, delighted our senses, and captured our hearts. This is the real thing, as authentic New Hampshire heritage, warm architectural details enhance a true country interior design, coupled with lovely antiques, nestled in the hills of a charming active farm. The beautiful candlelit breakfast beckoned us to stay a while, detox, and savor the comraderie of other guests. Tasteful seasonal decorations complemented the homelike (non-institutional, non-commercial) atmosphere. We highly recommend this for its simplicity, elegance, and charming environment.

We absolutely love the Inn at Valley Farms. It is, in a word, beautiful. Nestled among bucolic farms in a storybook-charming countryside, it's just a few minutes from the center of charming Walpole (with great restaurants, shops & galleries. The town is also home to Ken Burns - we spent a lot of time wandering around the town green, wondering which antique colonial house was his.). The rooms are cozy and well decorated, with views of the farm. But the real jewel of our stay was the innkeeper, Jackie. She's friendly, helpful, and probably a better cook than Martha Stewart. Eating our delicious three course breakfasts in the dining room, laughing with Jackie and the other guests, we felt like we were with old friends. Make sure to make time to explore the farm, especially the trail leading through the woods. (If you stay in winter, borrow some sleds and take your kids sledding on the hills behind the barn) We couldn't have been happier during our time at the Inn - this is a place we will treasure & return to for years to come.

It was just lovely, the rooms, breakfast was just wonderful and Jackie was very helpful and couldn't do enough to make sure our stay was wonderful.

This Inn is a wonderful experience. You get to see the way a real farm should be run. It is beautiful, clean and well managed. Walpole is a quaint, fun place to explore.

We stayed at the inn on the recommendation of my sister, who lives in Walpole. We were there for Thanksgiving because my sis's house was too full to accommodate my wife and two kids. My kids gasped when we checked in and my son whispered that it was the nicest home he had been in ever! It is a real New England farm and was a nice change for my Los Angeles family. Jacquie's cooking and company is outstanding, as were the other guests that were there. My son is on a gluten free diet and when we checked in Jacquie had a plate of gluten free cookies for him, and had also prepared special breakfast entries. How can you put a number on that type of caring and service? What a special memory.

Inn at Valley Farms does everything right. Fabulous breakfasts, primarily using what is grown/raised on the farm. Jackie, the owner, is extremely helpful regarding restaurant suggestions and what's going on in the area. A lot of thought has been put into the decor; all rooms have a charm of their own.

My 80 year old mother and I stayed at the Inn at Valley Farms in October, 2011 on a trip around New England. It is a working farm and the farmhouse was beautiful and clean. We went for long walks with beautiful views of fall. Jackie the Innkeeper was great. She was so helpful and friendly and told me how Maple Syrup was made as I wanted to take some back to Australia. All the food she prepared was organic and from her farm. I was so impressed I actually emailed her on my return to Sydney to see if she could recommend a book or email me a particular receipe she had prepared for breakfast. I had the receipe emailed to me within a few days. What also impressed me is that people with a special dietary requirement she prepared meals that were suitable for them to eat. I can't wait to take another trip to New England and I will definately stay at the Inn at Valley Farms.

My wife and I had decided we would like to try a working farm vacation after reading an article in a magazine. We found Inn at Valley Farms on the internet, it appeared to be what we were looking for and we were not disappointed. Jackie, the innkeeper made our stay a wonderful time with her delicious breakfast and beautiful,clean rooms. Since we wanted the farm experience, we collected eggs from the chickens on her farm and helped move the cows from one pasture to the other.She also told us where we could go to see a dairy operation which we ended up milking some of the cows. The area has plenty to do. Go, you won't be disappointed

My husband and I stayed at the Inn at the Valley Farms in Aug of 2011. We were traveling through Vermont and I wanted a 'real' farmhouse experience. So last minute we were able to book a few nights at the Inn at Valley Farm. What a wonderful decision that turned out to be! The Inn is a beautiful old home that has been recently renovated. Our room was lovely and very private. But the best part of the home is the sun room in the back. This room looks out onto the vegetable garden and the farm. I spent lots of my time snuggled on a chair reading in this cozy and very warm room. My husband really appreciated the tour of the farm. The Inn is also a working farm with chickens, cows, pigs, goats and even turkeys! Our host took us around the farm and explained her philospohy of natural/grass feed farming. My husband absolutely loved the explanations and has been raving about the tour for months. Now anytime we buy food at the local farmers markets he asks for tours! What was especially great was the breakfast our host made from farm grown ingredients. We would definately return for another peaceful and relaxing visit at the Inn at Valley Farms.

We had an amzaingly romantic honeymoon. This Inn does not miss a beat. The experience was beyond words and way exceeded my expectations. I am in love with this place, the food, the service, the eggs, the ambiance, the garlic, the grounds, the people, the beauty of the Inn. Love it all! Thank you for an amazing memory. We will be back!

My husband and I have returned to the Inn at Valley Farms time and time again over the years. It is a very special place that combines the warm ambiance of a beautifully restored 18th century Inn surrounded by a well cared for, sustainable organic farm. From the moment you arrive you can be assured that Jackie Caserta , the innkeeper, has attended to every detail that will make your stay at the Inn memorable. The rooms are beautifully appointed with comfortable beds and breakfast is an experience you won’t soon forget. Everything that is served is either grown on the farm or locally sourced, beautifully presented and delicious! Close proximity to Brattleboro VT, Keene NH and L. A. Burdick Chocolates in the center of Walpole makes the Inn at Valley the perfect location for travelers wanting to explore the Connecticut River valley.

Rooms were fantastic, and the farm was beautiful! Chocolate mice on our night table was very sweet. The breakfast was perfect and Jackie and her husband were very helpful and informative. Our stay was picture perfect. The only Inn that I've been too, were I felt like friends and close enough to give and receive a hug when leaving the Inn. Thank you Jackie for everything! Say Hello to Lulu and the rest of the furry bunch for us! P.S. try the popovers!!!

A hidden jewel in our own backyard!! Charming, elegant, relaxing, and personal are just a few words that describe Inn at Valley Farms B & B. Jackie, the owner and inn keeper is terrific! Hardworking, knowlegable, smart and someone who pays attention to her guests are just a few words that describe her. Our weekend was out of a Martha Stewart magazine...only better!! The setting is gorgeous. The rooms are quaint and charming. The food is DELICIOUS!!! The best part is how comfortable everything feels. I would highly recommend the Inn at Valley Farm!!

We spent a wonderful weekend -- comfortable and well organized in this quiet serene setting of Walpole, NH. The owner could not have been more attentive and accommodating to our family's needs. We highly recommend the Inn. It was everything we wanted it to be (and then some). Can't wait to return !

The Inn at Valley Farms is beautiful in every way. Fresh flowers in the room and on the dining table. The rooms and bathrooms are immaculate. The breakfasts were delicious. Jackie is a very gracious, warm and accommodating host and makes you feel very welcome. I recommend this inn to anyone wanting to get away and enjoy the peace of the farm and the beautiful area.

We are looking forward to our THIRD summer week getaway at the farm. The tranquility and beauty of the farm and surroundings, paired with the incredible hospitality of the entire Caserta family, make the Inn at Valley Farms the perfect location for relaxation with our young (and growing!) family.

We stayed at the Inn over the July 4th weekend and had a truly wonderful time. Jackie's hospitality and amazing breakfasts are reason enough to stay here but there are plenty of other added bonuses - local charm such as the nearby farmer's market, orchard, swimming hole and downtown restaurants. Being a part of the working farm (of which a member of Jackie's family will give you an excellent tour!) was exciting and inspiring - we are hoping to start our own garden soon! We hope to come back as soon as possible and would encourage anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, accomodating and tasty escape to come here!

We stayed in the Sunny Side farmhouse, which is very close to the main house but separate. Sunny Side was spacious, clean, and the view was beautiful. The innkeepers left us breakfast food for the first day (handy when you arrive at night) but breakfast was not included with this facility. We had fun making breakfast and enjoyed the privacy that Sunny Side afforded. The innkeeper, Jackie, was friendly, helpful, and attentive without being in our way, which was great. All the restaurants and locations she suggested were wonderful and the book left in the room with activities was detailed and helpful. The farm itself is very beautiful and does not smell bad at all due to the organic processes they use. We had fun speaking with Jackie about organic farming and what it entails, it is very interesting for adults to discuss and your kids can play in the play areas while you are talking about it. The location is convenient to Hwy 91 (but not on top of it) so you can take many day trips in and around New Hampshire & Vermont using this as your base. We had a great time and would highly recommend it to everybody!

This weekend was so needed and just delightful. Jackie was so nice and pleasant to talk to. The kids so enjoyed the farm even though now they want their own chickens!! The basket of goodies was unbelievable each morning. The boys enjoyed farm fresh eggs each morning, we could get used to this!! Definitely be back!

We stayed two nights in the "Garden Suite," enjoyed wonderful hospitality, excellent cooking, beautiful gardens and perfect weather for a summer getaway. We could not recommend any place we have stayed more highly.

My husband and daughter and I had the pleasure of staying at the Inn in late June. We shared a two bedroom suite with a private bath in a lovingly restored 18th century farmhouse. The room was beautifully appointed and spacious. Breakfast each morning was a delight, with most of the food coming from innkeeper Jackie's farm (the strawberry rhubarb with fresh cream was divine). Jackie gave us an extensive tour of the farm and we came home with the most delicious grass-fed meat and free-range poultry. The Inn is just a few miles from the town of Walpole, which has a lovely restaurant and beautiful green. I highly recommend the Inn and can't wait to return.

This was a very unique and comfortable experience.Lovely scenery,wonderful hostess and very relaxing.

I've been to dozens of B & B's in the northeast and the Inn at Valley Farms tops them all. Guest rooms are understated and comfortable - beautifully decorated with period furniture. The common areas are extensive - sunroom, library, game room and living room all available for guest to lounge in. Breakfast was amazing - fantastic homemade popovers, the freshest eggs and butter - all made on the farm or locally sourced.

Once again (our second visit) our stay at the Inn at Valley Farms B&B was a wonderful and relaxing experience. The exception breakfast, great interaction with the other guests and the friendly, comforatable atmosphere made for a delightful stay.

My husband and I have been coming to the Inn at Valley farms every October for a year now and can honestly say that it feels like home. The accomodations are outstanding and we always feel so comfortable. It's a great chance to get away from the busy life even if it's just for the weekend. Jacqueline is an exceptional people's person and she remembers all of her guests and remembers their likes and dislikes. She is a great conversationalist and just so enjoyable to be around. Looking forward to many more Octobers. Nadine

My husband and I were married at the Inn. Jacqueline and her staff attended to every detail making our wedding even more perfect than we could have imagined. The grounds were immaculate and lovely, the house is perfect in every way, comfortable and inviting. Breakfast was amazing with most ingredients from the farm or grown locally, the popovers will always be my favorite. No detail was left undone, and Jacqueline added some personal touches such as fresh flowers in our room and rose petals on our bed, adding to our most special day. She even took the time to send us lovely photos that she took during our stay - they are priceless. Our guests are still raving about the wonderful time they all had, especially those who stayed with us at the Inn. The Inn at Valley Farms will always be "our place" and we will come back as often as we can!

We spent a wonderful weekend in a cottage at Inn at Valley Farms. The fresh eggs and baked goods made for a delicious breakfast. The accommodations were comfortable and tasteful. The highlight of our trip was a farm tour from our hostess Jackie, who runs an active farm and ecology center with her brother.

We stayed in the Bellows cottage for a wedding held on the property. The Inn is gorgeous, in a wonderful, relaxing, country setting. Jackie and her husband, Tim, were the perfect hosts, taking time to educate us on the history of the property, as well as educating us on the farm animals. The fresh eggs each morning were the best we've ever had! If you're looking to get away and enjoy some relaxing, country living, with fabulous food and impeccable hospitality, you need to stay here!!! You won't be disappointed!!

I consider a stay at Valley Farms Inn to be the ultimate inn experience. The inn itself is absolutely gorgeous, the bucolic setting beautiful, and the breakfast of gourmet quality. Best of all, the innkeeper, Jackie, is unfailingly warm and welcoming. I have stayed at a variety of bed and breakfasts in New England and in other areas of the country, but in my opinion, Valley Farms is the gold standard!

Our Innkeeper was so accommodating.The cottage was as warm as toast in the frigid weather and the homemade buns and farm fresh eggs, milk and brerad were yummy.Our grandchildren loved their bedroom ,with a register in the floor that they could tallk through to us as we sat downstairs.WE too loved this register when it was bedtime for the children!

Jan 8/11: My wife and I stayed for two nights - Arrived the first night quite late after a long day of travel - Were greeted by a toasty cottage that was clean and comfortable. The following morning we woke up to a wonderful basket of fresh bread, farm fresh eggs, fresh milk for the coffe, and a personalized note. Exactly what we needed. Wonderful experience, and we now have a new favourite spot in New Hampshire

Terrific, beautiful inn...great location... like staying at a friend's house!

Although we could only spend one night, we absolutely loved the Inn. Jackie is a wonderful hostess and made us feel very at home. We plan to return in the spring for a longer stay as there is much to see in the area as well as on the farm itself. And last but certainly not least the breakfast popovers were incredible!

recently my wife, mother-in-law and i spent a weekend in the bellows cottage at valley farms. the accomodations were very comfortable and spotlessly clean. breakfast was freshly baked breads and cake delivered to our door the first thing in the morning. eggs from the farm itself and locally produced milk were waiting for us in the fridge when we checked in, all were delicious. jackie, the inn keeper was gracious and pleasant and even gave us a tour of the farm. we enjoyed our entire stay at the inn at valley farms

A great place for a perfect weekend away. The setting is spectacular, the rooms gorgeous, the beds incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast to-die-for. By far the nicest inn my husband and I have ever stayed at. The innkeeper is a perfect hostess, who makes you feel at home and well-cared for the minute you arrive.

Enjoyed our stay at the Inn. Week-end was perfect with all eight family members together in the house. We all enjoyed the delicious breakfast Jackie prepared and then attending the Pumpkin Festival. Inn was ideally located and afforded us the luxury of going back and forth to the Festival. Would consider going back in the future. Highly recommend the Inn to everyone who is considering staying in/near Walpole.

Our three stay stay was great. Beautiful home and room, outstanding service. Very friendly and helpful owner. But the best part was that this B&B is on a working organic farm that raises grass-fed beef, chickens, goats, turkeys and pigs. Over the three days we learned a lot about how the farm was run, and how the owners work to raise the most heallthy food possible. They also sell their food products directly to consumers. I recommend this B&B very highly, just as a B&B, but if you want to learn more about organic farming, the owner is more than willing to provide as much info as you want. From a simple overview of the farm, to a one-on-one tour to show all the details.

We stayed 2 nights 10-15-2010 and 10-16-2010. We were a family group of 6 adults and 2 childern. We had the whole main house to our selves. Jackie was the perfect host and is a great cook! We had a delicious breakfast both days. Everyone really like the "pop-overs". The kids had a great time looking at all the animals. We all carved pumpkins and took them to the Keene pumpkin festival. Thanks to Jackie we has reserved parking right downtown. Our rooms were spotless I would highly recommend this B&B. Tom and Jean

The breakfast morning basket contained some of the VERY best coffee cake I have ever had! The farm was beautiful - our room was so nice and cozy - can't wait to come back :)

Our four night stay at Valley Farms was delightful. The wooded areas, the valleys, garden, sun room and rooms were memorable. The highlight of our stay, however, was first Jackie and the every morning breakfast. Each morning we had an outstanding breakfast prepared from the organic produce of the farm with an explanation by our host. It was a treat to meet and share with the other visitors. Jackie went beyond our expectations by even seeing to the delivery of an element of a breathing device prescribed by my wife's doctor which had been left behind in Oklahoma. The nearby apple orchid and the village of Walpole contributed to very pleasant experience.

This is our third year at the Inn at Valley Farms. Our first stay was our wedding wedding weekend in 2008. There is no other place where you can feel so relaxed, welcome and peaceful. Accommodations are top notch, spotless and beds are comfy. The land is nature at it's best, and Jackie's breakfasts- that's reason enough to come. A genuine and down to earth vibe will have us returning for many years to come.

I reserved the Sunnyside Farmhouse for out of town family members who were attending my wedding. It was the perfect place for our loved ones to relax and socialize in between wedding events. The farmhouse is beautifully kept and comfortably appointed, and the kitchen is spacious and inviting. Jackie, the innkeeper, is an amazing hostess, and was always friendly and helpful to me and my guests. I highly recommend this inn to anyone traveling to in the Connecticut River valley!

Just got back from 2 nights at the Inn at Valley Farms and both my husband and I can't wait until our next trip. The house itself is a beautifully restored historic treasure and the surrounding farm and land is lovingly tended to by an extremely knowledgeable family dedicated to organic best-practices. Jackie was a gracious host and had many great suggestions for things to see and do in-and-around Walpole. The rooms and common areas are immaculate, the air is clean and rejuvenating, and the communal, homemade breakfasts were a real treat. - Corinne Dillon

Very nice, quiet peaceful place. We stayed in the Garden Suite and loved it. Jackie, the Inn Keeper, was fantastic. Would stay again if the opportunity comes along.

We loved our stay in the Valley Farms Cottage. It was our best experience in our trip. We suggest everybody to stay in the Valley Farms B&B, Cottages and Farmhouse. We probably will get our friends and will stay longer on the next year.

Our whole family, three generations, were in Walpole for a wedding. We chose to stay here, in part for our young active grandsons, and it was an excellent decision. Everyone had a great time, the farm tour was very interesting, and the fresh eggs and breads were a treat in the morning. My only suggestion for those planning to prepare their meals here would be to bring your own cooking utensils--the knives, especially, were pretty useless!

Wonderful peaceful farm....wonderful that is was away from any busy noisy towns or cities....truly enjoy our stay, enjoy our day trips away from the farm, beautiful area for motorcycling

What a great place to stay. We had great organic food each morning, fresh eggs, fresh breads and wonderful cakes. Great host and we will be back for another visit. It was quiet, peaceful and a great place to relax.

My husband was best man at a wedding in Walpole and we stayed at the Inn with our two children. We were pleasantly surprised by the cabin--the kids loved it--and the morning delivery of fresh baked goods, fridge stocked with milk, oj, and cereals. The owner was very pleasant and her kids took our two year old into the barn to meet the pigs, goats, chicks and turkeys. Lovely grounds with a play area and sandbox. Just a lovely setting. Very relaxing and the weather was perfect!

This Inn is such a pleasure to stay in. From your first breath of fresh country air to taking in the natural beauty of this farm your senses travel you back to a time when the pace was slower and food was real. My wife and I enjoyed the wonderful breakfast of home baked items and french country bread, the comfortable four posted bed in our cottage and relaxing with a glass of wine outside after dinner. Although the town of Walpole has a wonderful restaurant we made dinner three night in the cottage using pate, cheese and more from the well stocked general store in town. One night we used fresh from the farm eggs to make an omelet. I think it was we just felt so comfortable at the Inn we did not want leave. Now if you needed civilization it had cable TV and free fy fi so you don't have to go completely cold turkey. We just relaxed and listen to the chickens cluck in the distance and our big city problems melted into summer's night's breeze. Jacgueline Caserta and her brother make you feel at home at this their farm which is a labor of love. We can not wait to return again. We highly recommend this home away from home.

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful stay in the guest cottage at Valley Farms last June. Rich in history and classic New England beauty, the working farm and inn provided us with peaceful surroundings, fresh eggs and bread each morning, and many fond memories of Walpole, NH.

This is truly a wonderful experience. The rooms are lovely, the food is delicious, the grounds are beautiful and the Innkeeper is a DELIGHTFUL PERSON.

We had a great time at the Inn. We stayed for just two nights. The Kilburn cottage fit our family for five comfortably - grandma, mom, dad and two kids. Our kitchen is fully loaded with all the equipment you need. We bought some steaks from the farm and Jacqui rolled out the bbq and we had a very memorable dinner on the gardens overlooking the farm. Chris gave us a tour of the farm and spent time answering all our questions, and telling us about the philosophy of the farm and their techniques, and we were lucky enough to be there when a cow had just given birth. The farm and the inn are cozy enough to have a holiday feel, but importantly, Jacqui and Chris make the difference. Jacqui brought us a breakfast basket each morning, and her lemon cake was divine! If you are looking for a real New England farm stay, this is where you want to be!

My wife and I stayed there over Memorial Day weekend and we're still talking about our stay at the Inn. The grounds are stunning and the ambiance was peaceful and relaxing. Our two-year old son was in "hog heaven" seeing all the farm animals. We learned so much about farming! Each morning we eagerly awaited the delictable sampling of breakfast foods and fresh eggs. We will forever cherish the memories that we created.

We truely had a very memorable weekend at the Inn. The house and property is amazing. The food was out of this world and the Innkeeper is so very accomodating and charming. She shares a wealth of knowledge about their organic approach to farming..very educational. We will stay again on our next trip to the area.

Had a terrific weekend at the Inn at Valley Farms! The Bellows Cottage and the grounds were great and the town of Walpole is very cute. Staying at the Inn was a wonderful treat for my family, especially our young son who got to really enjoy seeing all of the farm animals. Plan on coming back and would recommend to anyone.

it is spring at the farm, the calves are chasing each other in the pasture that is within view of the garden patio where old friends rock, visit, pet the beautiful cats admire the perennials munch the chocolate chip cookies and take a deep breath. the rooms are beautiful the beds comfortable but it is the early morning checker game my husband and i played before we walked up the hill in the mild morning air and before the full country breakfast with fresh eggs, fresh orange juice, popovers and bacon strips that makes me smile. it was a great and glorious stay, we bought organic beef and plan to drive back up for the chickens that are raised organically and harvested humanely. jackie is a delightful knowledgeable innkeeper and organic farmer; what more can we ask?

My daughter and I wished to have a long weekend during the February break near by Walpole where her friend has a vacation house. We loved the Bellows Cottage in all ways. It was charming and comfortable. We both had our own space and all the conveniences of internet access and TV access. Our friends gathered to see the Olympic winter games and it was simple to make omelets for everyone and feast on Jackie's wonderful breads. We will most definitely return!

We booked on of the Inn's cottages for a weekend wedding in Walpole, NH. We chose the cottage because it sleeps 6 and we were traveling with other family members. The decor of the cottage is "Country Living" casual -- comfortable and cozy but not fancy. (I think the bedrooms in the main part of the Inn are fancier.) What we liked best was having a kitchen stocked with local, organic milk, butter,orange juice and the morning delivery of savory breads, coffee cake and the Inn's fresh eggs. Heaven! Jackie, the inn keeper is quite remarkable -- delivering the goody basket early each morning and offering extra coffee and amenities if desired. Most impressive, on our last morning it snowed and she insisted on clearing off our cars for us! We had a great time and would recommend the Inn. We did not have time to explore, but the area -- including the Inn's 100 acres is very beautiful and I assume open to guests for walks and possibly winter hikes on snow shoes.

We stayed in one of the Cottages at the Inn at Valley Farms. The Cottage was quaint, clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were fresh eggs and a delicious bread basket at the door each morning. There was plenty of room for 6 of us to spread out a bit. The service was outstanding including a personal tour of the chicken farm for my 11 year old son. He is still talking about the tour.

I was delighted to discover The Inn at Valley Farms. It could not have been a more enjoyable stay. Our room was beautiful, the setting spectacular, and the breakfast simply delicious. Jackie gave us a tour of the farm in the morning, and my husband and I were so impressed with what she's done to create a beautiful and environmentally-sensitive inn and farm.

This was our final B&B on a week long drive from Boston, up a ways into Maine, on to Vermont and back to Boston. I'm glad it was our last inn and not our first, otherwise we would have been tempted to cancel the rest of the trip and just stay here. Jacqueline is a wonderful inkeeper. The environment of the Inn and the surrounding area was fantastic.

After a 3 hour ferry trip and a 500 mile drive, innkeeper jacqui Caserta welcomed us with a smile and immediately led us to our cottage -- 3 bedrooms, dining room, living room, immaculately clean -- great visit! Will return!

Jacque Caserta's organic farm is a gem. I've been there three Octobers in recent years, and I've never stayed in a more wonderful inn. It's nestled in a dream-like setting and has been the perfect autumn get-away for we Californians seeking bursts of color and an embracing hospitality. Jacque's farm rolls over more than 100 acres, with an historic main house, scenic and functional red barns, critters of all types and the reds and oranges and golds of the season. This is a working farm in a stunningly picturesque setting along a country road overlooking the Connecticut River near Walpole, New Hampshire. Guest rooms are comfortable and wonderfully appointed, and Jacque's breakfasts are creative and delicious. Five stars to this true find. Daryl Kelley, Ojai, CA

A lovely restored country inn with plenty of wooded roads for walking, an apple orchard across the street, and charming Walpole only minutes away. We found the inn very restful and our hostess hospitable.

My sister and I grew up in Walpole many years ago and decided to return 6 years ago. We stayed at the Inn at Valley Farms and reconnected with our history in a wonderful way, talking walks and exploring the village of Walpole. We're made it an annual tradition. Three nights at the Inn every fall have turned out to be perfect home away from home and way to connect with our family and our history. The Inn is so efficiently run it offers the very best of B&B stays -- intimacy and privacy. If you need anything the owners respond immediately and graciously but otherwise you have complete freedom. You are invited to enjoy the garden, pick fresh herbs from the garden, and check out the chickens and goats. Every detail from the soft sheets to the fresh eggs at breakfast make it a wonderful place to rest and refresh!

we felt we were back in Colonial times, in this beautiful 1774 house with period furnishings. Jackie made us entirely at home and we had the run of the large house. Her breakfasts were sublime and we look forward to coming back soon.

Tho we only stayed one nite, it was perfect for us.Jacquie has created a heavenly spot for respite w/ every detail perfect. Breakfast was superb, the whole setting-inside and out-just the peaceful, lovelyatmosphere we needed. Aylson's orchard across the road was an unexpected joy, and supper and chocolates at Burdick's capped an already perfect stay. We can't wait till we can go back! Sheila and Dick Pitkin

If you want to relax and escape from the hussle and bussle of life the farmhouse is the place to do it. Bring the whole family and relax.We enjoyed the trails the apples across the street and all that a working farm has to offer.Thank you!!

Just returned from a two night stay at Bellows Cottage (friends wedding at Alyson's Orchard - Columbus Weekend)! The accomodations are exceptional and the breakfast basket as well as organic eggs and local milk are beyond compare! Already talking about returning next year!

The Inn has beautifully appointed rooms and the grounds are lovely. One can hike and get to enjoy the natural surroundings as well as the farm itself. The Hostess is charming and accommodating. Breakfasts are not only outstandingly delicious but a visual work of art as well.

We stayed in the Kilburn cottage for the Labor Day weekend. Our son was married at Alyson's Orchard, which is right next to this property. Our family occupied not only the Kilburn cottage, but the two other cottages at the inn also. The bride and groom stayed two nights in the Inn. We had a wonderful weekend. Our cottage was very quaint, very nicely equipped with kichen essentials for breakfast and lovely organic restroom products. The fresh eggs and fresh homemade breads were delicious and at our door each morning. The farm setting is very relaxing and made the perfect setting for our weekend wedding festivities! The landscapes are breathtaking. Thank you, Jackie.

Wonderful Accomodations; Beautiful Farm

We had the pleasure of being hosted by Jackie at the Valley Farms B&B for our wedding night. The room was nicely appointed and spotless. It was clear that much attention to detail is spent on the cleaning and upkeep of this charming antique farmhouse. Jackie greeted us warmly upon our arrival and really made us feel welcome. The setting is beautiful and the grounds are something of which to be proud. They have done a remarkable job and are a credit to the hospitality industry. If the above wasn't enough, breakfast was fabulous. We enjoyed our stay and plan to spend our anniversaries there for many years to come.

Relaxing, comfortable and perfectly clean rooms including the library, sitting room, and several outdoor sitting areas all on a remarkably well maintained 19th century farm with a slate-roofed (!) four-story barn. A hen-house on wheels, grass-fed beef, extensive maple syrup operation, lots of new fencing on locust posts on a working farm realizing responsible, sustainable, organic agronomy and husbandry. Jackie is a warm, accomodating hostess. The woods walk is a nice touch. If you are there on September 6, don't forget her birthday. We'll be back.

Everything about my staff at the Inn at Valley Farms was exceptional. The room was lovely, the house is gorgeous, the surroundings are breath taking, and the innkeeper Jackie is wonderful. Amazing food as well! I highly recommend this B&B to everyone. I look forward to visiting in the near future.

Our group of 5 has done an annual reunion trip for over 20 years now, always staying in small inns or B&Bs. I didn't know what to exect from an Inn on an organic farm, but I couldn't have been more delighted with our experience. Inn at Valley Farm was a highlight of our many trips. Jackie was fun, gracious, and accommodating - even making special meals for one of our group with diatary restrictions. It was a delicious experience to have breakfast every morning include produce from the farm itself. We met guests who come back annually, and I can understand why. Charming, accommodating and polished - the Inn was a relaxing experience that I would love to do again.

The Inn was an accidental find but we have been recommending it to friends and family ever since our stay! Speaking with Jacquline, the innkeeper, while making our reservation was a tip off as to the warmth and professionalism that we came to enjoy during our too brief vacation. The Inn is a true oasis of tranquility in a lovely setting...supremely comfortable, immaculate and authentically restored. The breakfasts were beyond sumptuous...wonderfully presented, bountiful and prepared with home grown fruits, vegetables and eggs. Afternoon sweets were delicious and the conversation with Jacqueline, her family and staff was always interesting. They truly love what the do...being a part of running an organic farm and hosting guests. As New Englanders who have stayed at many of our region's finest inns of various sizes, The Inn at Valley Farms gets our geatest praise!

My college friends and I found the beautiful house perfect for our annual reunion, with lovely bedrooms upstairs and several large and comfortable "getting together" rooms downstairs. Breakfasts were superb, Jackie is personable and helpful, and the location is that wonderful combination of remotely tucked away but still close to activities.

We had a very special rest & 2 breakfasts in very relaxing space & surroundings. Very personable hostess & family.

We've stayed here several times. Tranquil and lovely sums it up in 3 words. Wonderful inventive breakfasts, quiet country setting on a farm (chickens, cows, goats, wonderful old barn) with nice views and close to a couple of small town getaways (Walpole, Keene, Bellows Falls, Putney, etc.). Very gracious hostess. A variety of rooms to choose from, as well. Go for it; you won't be sorry!!

Jackie is a great host and has created a wonderful place to get away. Short drive to everything in the area.

Would highly recommend the Inn at Valley Farms B & B. The accommodations were truly wonderful, and the gourmet breakfasts and homemade cookies made this an outstanding choice for stay!

As a world traveller, it's been wonderful to discover a "perfect home" away from the city, nearby to my favorite New England town of Walpole. The antique-filled rooms are genuine, both comfortable and charming as is the farm (pastured chickens & cows), and the great breakfasts of homemade breads & jams, the yellowest egg yolks, and lovely setting. Best of all is the warmth and earnestness of its host, Jackie.

We had a great two days.

Our breakfast both mornings was delicious and the rooms were very lovely. It is a beautiful place to stay.

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the Kilburn Cottage turned out to be. The rooms are large and spotlessly clean. Having a bath and 1/2 was an added plus. The owner checked in with us to make sure that we had everything we needed. Our 5 night stay was certainly enjoyable.

I just completed my third stay to this wonderful hidden gem and I cannot rave about it enough! My oldest daughter, her husband and I came up (again) for a "mini-vacation", and had a wonderful time! We absolutely love the ambiance, character and quietness of the Inn - Jackie is the penultimate hostess, who makes you feel as though you're old friends - her graciousness has yet to be topped in my book (and I've stayed in other very nice B&B's). The area is just beautiful - we love the orchards across the street, and antique hunting is at its best in the area (bargains abound - there are so many, many places to look!). Driving to other towns is easy, since it seems that all roads lead to Keene! Walpole itself is a pretty little town - Burdick's has wonderful chocolates (we have yet to eat there - next time for sure), and the Walpole Grocery has some really wonderful items that I haven't seen. We also want to try the Walpole Inn, but again, the next time we come (and there WILL be a next time), we will go there. Of course, the BREAKFASTS are to die for!!! We were always amazed at the variety of dishes every time we visited (thinking, "she can't possibly top that!" but, yes, she can!), though Jackie will honor requests for favorites, like her poached pears in maple syrup with fresh cream (my son-in-law's favorite!). Delicious, delicious, delicious!!! I want to bring my whole family up, so they can experience the splendor of this totally relaxing, welcoming Inn, perhaps even renting the whole house out for the holidays. I am definitely a regular! Date of Stay: September 2007

A wonderful inn, thoughtfully turned to its place. We had a terrific time. Comfortable lodgings, a great location, a with a thoughtful innkeeper.

Even tho we there there in off season for this area, the stay was very pleasant. Will definitely stay again in summer or especially fall. Breakfast was classy and tasty. Hostess was very accomodating and considerate of dietary needs. Beautiful location.

Quiet, charming, beautiful, well cared for, outstanding food... you can't go wrong here. Jackie is an amazing hostess, very accommodating and a culinary expert. Rooms are clean, spacious, and the beds are very comfortable. We filled the inn & cottage with friends and family for a weekend and everyone's stay couldn't have been more laid back and enjoyable. We will return without hesitation- everyone who stayed there had the same sentiment.

My wife, daughter and I stayed at the Inn at Valley Farms for a long weekend (and the Pumpkin Festival at nearby Keene, N.H.). We felt like we were in a postcard everywhere we went. Jackie is the consummate hostess, the property is beautiful (and quiet), and everything was wonderful. The accommodations are neat, quaint, natural, and relaxed. Jackie is an outstanding cook, which made breakfasts a mouth-watering event. If Jackie ever has time to put together a cookbook, it would definitely be worth buying. We've done a lot of B&Bs in the US and Europe, and this one is among the best, simply because it is so authentic and not forced or contrived or superficial. It is a working farm, and much of what we ate came from the farm. Downtown Walpole is cozy, and if you need more, there's always Keene, which has good restaurants and shops without feeling too touristy. If you're looking for high adventure and excitement, don't come to Walpole and the Inn at Valley Farms. This is a place to get away, unwind, and spend time soaking in beauty and peacefulness.

We have stayed at this Inn several times and it consistently is an exceptional experience and that is why we keep coming back. The inn is beautiful, every accomodation has been made to please you and the breakfast (which should be a B&B's trademark) artfully presented in the formal dining room is the best you will eat anywhere. There is an enormous orchard (the apples are non-toxic pest managed) right across the road and a very nice restaurant and small shops in town. Lots of other things to do in the area. Love the cows, hens and kitties and beautiful rolling countryside. Very knowledgeable innkeeper, wonderful family and farm.

This is an absolutely beautifully, perfectly restored Colonial House-as good as any you'd visit in Williamsburg. Every room has four-poster bed. The parlors and solarium wonderful. Homemade cookies. Fabulous breakfasts from omelets to popovers to French toast. Different every morning in the formal dining room.

Shade and cutting gardens,hens and chicks,goats, steer and the perfect playhouse are embraced by the huge dairy barn, rolling landscape and lovely manor house. Breakfast was thoughtfully presented with top quality offerings and attentive service. The innkeeper (Jackie) and farm manager (Chris) are delightful and informative. A stay at the Inn recharges your soul. Deborah O'Connor - Dennis, MA

Excellent B&B, rooms were well maintained, beautiful location, outstanding food, I highly recommend this B&B!

This B&B experience was perfect in every way. The inn itself so rich with history and tastefully decorated. The innkeeper was delightful and the perfect host. Breakfast every morning was a culinary masterpiece. All the food came from the farm and was the fr eshest tasting breakfast we've ever had. This B&B has set a new standard for us and will be hard to beat. We are looking forward to our next visit.
