My wife and I went out to the Berkshires for her birthday weekend, and stayed two nights at the Whistlers Inn. We loved it, what a great place. The Inn is really fantastic, we love antiques and older historic vibes, and the Whistlers Inn had this in droves. We spent literally hours talking with Richard and Lisa, about every subject you could imagine. Breakfast was really tasty both mornings, delicious French toast, quiche, eggs made to order, great coffee. A thoughtful, warm, truly unique environment. The highest possible recommendation.

Room was too small, musty and in need of updating. Breakfast wasn't till 8:30 and no coffee was provided before then. Not very welcoming.

wonderful large house filled with antiques and paintings. The owners are gracious and very interesting. Breakfast was superb- great quiche and more. Our room was tiny. Hopefully the others were of a reasonable size. I'll stay there again-although will check the room size first.
Great, comfortable stay

This was our second stay at Whistler's Inn. It is a comfortable inn with friendly owners, a lovely dining room, and sherry always available in the evenings. Good value for the area, which tends to be overpriced.
