There is poetry at the very heart of Brook Farm Inn. Discover our Library, the focal point of the Inn, with its extensive collection of poetry, both traditional and contemporary, along with other fine literature…and a good selection of popular books as well. We showcase a poem of the day each morning, and we encourage our guests to browse our collection and find a book to sit and read in front of the Library fireplace, in your room, in the gardens outside, in the hammock or beside the pool. Throughout the year, we hold poetry readings and other entertainments in the Library, often at tea time, when guests may also enjoy homemade scones and strawberry jam. In Linda’s other life, she has been a media specialist and an accomplished storyteller, and she puts her talents to good use for the benefit of Brook Farm’s guests.

We were a group of two couples from all over the world and we unanimously agreed that Brook Farm was the single best accomodation we stayed in on our trip. Phil and Linda are both super-friendly and hospitable. Brook Farm Inn is a joy to stay in with gorgeous rooms and warm lounge to enjoy in winter with a crackling fire. The breakfast is world-class too. 10/10. Greg Bergh - South Africa

Although my most recent trip to the Berkshires was solo, my husband and I have stayed at Brook Farm Inn in the past and agree that it is everything we could ever hope to find in accommodations away from home. The location could not be better for culture and appreciation of nature; Linda and Phil, the innkeepers, are delightful, gracious and attentive while never being intrusive; the inn is perfectly and authentically decorated; the rooms are impeccably clean and charming; the breakfasts are delicious and varied. When we are in the Berkshires, this is where we will always be staying and loving it!
