  • Inn Details

    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.

    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.

    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

    We were very pleased with our stay at the Pillbury House. Our room "The Victorian" was spacious and clean. Roger, the proprietor, welcomed us and invited us to chat in the kitchen. He gave us a history of the inn and a brief history of the area. Breakfast was tasty and we will definitely try to come again if in the area.
