    The Pillsbury House, built in 1875, is situated on a quiet residential street in Woonsocket's historic north-end of Victorian Mansard design. The property features an original 2-story carriage house with 3 stalls & tack room. Gardens, fruit trees, perennials, and herb plantings surround the main house. The house retains the original exterior millwork and ornamentation such as dentil detailing on window hoods. Step up the granite steps onto the wrap around porch, (complete with rocking chairs) and up to the arched double front doors and ring the original ornate doorbell. Enter the foyer which has a ten-foot canvas covered ceiling, reproduction historical wallpaper, cushioned bay-window seats, walnut ribbon banded parquet floors and a grand oak stairway to usher visitors to the upstairs guestrooms. To the right of the foyer, double French doors open to the formal parlor with cranberry and cream walls, a center medallion ceiling, and a fireplace with tiled hearth. The sitting room has cable TV. Another French door leads to the formal dining room where your breakfast is served using family silver and china. The room has slanted bay windows, plaster cove ceiling molding and ribbon banded parquet floors. Juice, fresh fruit, coffee, teas, bread or muffins are served before the main course.

    Very relaxing

    April 13, 2013

    My husband and I stayed one night; we needed to be in Woonsocket on a Saturday evening and could have driven home after, but it would have been very late and so I was glad I had booked our stay. We were very happy at Pillsbury House. I will only stay at a B&B that offers private baths! Really enjoyed the Garden Room. Unfortunately, the next morning, for some reason I became ill before checkout. It was probably a "24 bug" that decided to hit me then! Anyhow, this meant that I could not partake of that spectacular breakfast! I had to leave the dining room and go back up to bed. I told my husband to take his time and enjoy his breakfast. The housekeeper was awesome and asked if there was anything special I needed. She took the time to put water on for tea, and sent that up to me with some corn muffins,which I packed to take for later. I really appreciated that. I hope we have the opportunity to go back some day.

    A Wonderful House

    August 26, 2012

    We had a fantastic stay at the Pillsbury House. Roger made us so welcome and we spent 6 nights in the beautiful garden room. Highly recommended.

    Extended Stay Guest

    May 10, 2012

    I stayed at the Pillsbury House Bed&Breakfast as an extended stay guest from mid february 2012 to mid may 2012. The extended stay rate is $200/wk, and does not include breakfast (why my dining score was neutral). The extended stay room is the country suite, which has a large personal bathroom with a bathtub. The room has 2 twin sized beds and is quite spacious. The room is on the 3rd floor, so there is a lot of privacy. There is no television (cable) in the room, however when I said I had a new Xbox I was interested in playing during my stay, Roger had a small television that he let me use. It was nice touches like that and his encouragement to feel at home anywhere in the house that really made me feel welcome. There is a public television in the first floor living room, which I used almost every day. At first that felt kind of awkward, but there usually wasn't much foot traffic when I was watching, so it felt more comfortable. Although the extended sty did not include breakfast, I was allowed to use a minifridge and the kitchen whenever I needed, and was welcome to have the snacks and tea at any time. Roger was very helpful to me and was always available for advice about the area. Because I did not have a car while I was there, he offered rides to the airport and train station, or even other places around town. Even when we just saw each other in passing, he was in good spirits. The maid was friendly as well. She kept a good balance between keeping the room clean (changing linens and towels, emptying trashcans, etc.) and giving me my privacy. She left me notes if she was unsure about how I wanted things. All in all, I felt at home during my stay here.

    Big Disappointment

    September 07, 2011

    This was our first experience at a B&B and after our stay at the Pillsbury House it maybe our last, next visit to Woonsocket, we will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express on Cumberland Hill Road. Our room was very small, not the same as pictured on the website, especially being that we were staying for 5 days. Bathroom even smaller, shower floor needed cleaning, bathroom sink was in the bedroom. Our bed was never made during our stay, nor were the trash cans emptied in bedroom or bathroom. We did have "fresh" towels everyday, except the day that the housekeeper took off, NO fresh towels and NO breakfast, we were on our own. No more B&Bs for us, not for awhile.

    Innkeeper Response
    The Pillsbury House has been in business 17 years. This was our only negative review since opening. It was written because the guest was upset with not changing his room to another room which was reserved for another couple (friends) they were traveling with. Saying "they'll never know we switched the rooms," this guest promised retaliation. He made good on his promise.

    "Charming Victorian Inn"

    August 23, 2011

    What was I doing spending an overnight in Woonsocket? A friend bid on this overnight package at a local auction and won. The owner, Roger was very friendly and innformative about the history of Woonsocket and the background of the Pillsbury Inn. The overnight included apple pancakes, fruit, juices and cornbread on fine china and pleasant conversation with the other guests. Had dinner at Chans and toured Woonsocket at night. Pillsbury Inn - so charming and enjoyed the privacy of having the third floor - no sharing of the bathroom. If you want to stay in a very charming Victorian Inn with a charming host - stay at the Pillsbury. Ruth, Cranston, RI
