    My wife and I stayed at the Maguire House B&B in Ashburnham, MA this past weekend and fell in love. Terry & Paul made us feel welcome and at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was amazing with an incredible view of the lake and mountain. We have never slept in a more comfortable bed, and our breakfast was delicious. The Inn is meticulously maintained and decorated inside and out. Every last detail was thought of. We rate it an A++ -Skip & Christine Jan 2012


    Gorgeous house in a beautiful town with lovely hosts and delicious food! What more could you want?

    My mom, sister, cousins and I stayed here for a weekend in October and were completely impressed! Terry and Paul were amazing--super-friendly and extremely helpful. And I'd certainly like to add my two cents regarding Terry's cooking...I can rarely remember the last time I had breakfasts that delicious (and I live in NYC, where brunching is practically a sport!) The house and its surrounding acreage is simply beautiful--we were there the weekend of the freak snow storm, so we got to see it on Friday looking like fall and on Saturday looking like a winter wonderland! I highly recommend a visit. We've even decided to buy a weekend place in the area and hope to stay with the Maguires again while we house-hunt! Thanks, Terry and Paul (and Abby!)

    I'm adopting the hosts ... they were better than my parents and more gracious than a child to Santa at Christmas ... the setting rivals none ... nice people/nice place/nice value ...

    The Maguire house is my new favorite B&B! The setting is gorgeous, and everything about our experience was very enjoyable, including the delicious breakfast of fresh scones, fruit, and eggs Benedict. I can't wait to return!


    Absolutely perfect! Didn't want to leave

    My husband was skeptical about staying at a B&B, but he fell in love with this one. The warmth, the coziness, the view! Indulging in Terry's delectable breakfast while enjoying a view of the Fall foliage, the lake and the mountains is an unparalleled experience. We stayed at the smaller -yet charming- Country Room, and though we would have preferred an ensuite bathroom (though a privacy curtain in the hallway would probably suffice), we cannot find fault with the accomodations. We haven't slept so much in years! We cannot wait to return.
