  • Inn Details

    The Lyttleton Inn is a restored 19th century farmhouse that sits nestled in the Nashoba Valley, surrounded by the farming towns and villages of yesteryear, yet just steps away from the bustling town common. Seeing to the comfort of a traveller, whether for business or pleasure, is a New England tradition here at the Lyttleton Inn. Our guests discover delights in the most unlikely places; sumptuous feather beds, old-world baking, well-loved books and the gentle art of conversation. We invite you to come explore our wonderful Inn and experience the many activities of the Nashoba Valley region. Littleton is minutes away from two major freeways and the commuter rail, so the Lyttleton Inn is a perfect launch pad for day trips to Harvard, Devens, Lowell, Concord, Lexington and Boston. For the business traveller, the Inn is just a short walk away from the new IBM facility here in Littleton.

    Nothing stirs the soul like being greeted at the table by freshly-baked Cinnamon Rolls, redolent with spices, currants and butter, and served fresh from the oven. The main course is The Purist's Omelet, a testament to farm-fresh produce, three eggs are cooked to perfection, and gently folded over fresh spinach, portobello mushrooms, and smoked vermont cheddar. Crisp bacon and fresh fruit in season round out a bounteous plate. Fresh juice, hot coffee and signature teas are generously provided.

    Lyttleton Inn is a wonderful place to stay for anyone looking for something peaceful and quaint. Each room has a specific theme and is furnished with items and books pertaining to that theme. Their library is small and cozy, but stocked with such a wonderful assortment of books (as well as periodicals) that anyone can find something to read-- this is definitely the inn to stay at if you are a book lover. They also have board games in the shared library and in the bedrooms if you don't feel like reading. The innkeeper is extremely kind and helpful, so if you need help navigating the area or just need some guidance for day trips or good restaurants, she can definitely offer some recommendations and brochures. She is also an excellent cook. Her breakfasts are delicious and in my opinion, better than what you would get at many restaurants. The inn was extremely well kept and clean. The rooms are comfortable and have everything a person would need. The Lyttleton Inn exceeded all my expectations and was the perfect place to stay for a relaxing weekend getaway.

    I needed some peace and quiet from my toddler boy/girl twins and decided to rent a room and have a good night of sleep at the local B&B. I biked to the place and was astonished by ambiance, service and home-like atmosphere. I will be a happy repeat customer until this owner is in business.
