    Outstanding Accomodations for a Getaway Weekend

    December 02, 2012

    First time we stayed here and loved its central location and the seasonal decorations throughout the common areas of the inn. The decor definitely placed us in the holiday spirit. It was the perfect place to get away for a peaceful weekend as it's a short 2 hour drive from our home outside of Albany, New York. The nightly rate was very reasonable, our room was clean, and the innkeepers and staff were very friendly. What more could you ask for. There was even an authentic Scottish pub a short walk from the inn for an evening night cap. We will certainly will be back again. Thank you Brett and Nancy!

    5/2012 Stay

    May 08, 2012

    We were looking for something in lower Vermont and came across the Inn on the website. I spoke with the Innkeepers and they were extremely friendly and accommodating. The most important feature for me was the NO PET rule. I am highly allergic and have trouble traveling lately, with everyone bringing their pets along on trips. We booked a room with their guidance and it was a lovely experience. The Inn is old and has plenty of charm. Everything was well kept and cozy. We felt very welcome. The breakfast was continental but quite varied. We had many choices of fresh baked goods, juices,cereals, local waffle mix waffles and my favorite the large fresh fruit bowl. We were very pleased with the overall experience and would gladly stay at The Fullerton Inn again.

    Unexpected Gem

    April 18, 2012

    We ended up at the Fullerton Inn because there was no vacancy in nearby Grafton, VT. We were pleasantly surprised at Fullerton because of how nice it was. Unknowingly we ended up at what our first choice should have been.

    Ten days at the Fullerton Inn

    October 12, 2011

    Chester native "returned". Worked in this Inn as a High school senior 1950-51. This massive three story structure looks and feels like something that is the center of Chester town. The breakfast is extra great. Not only excellent choice with variety each day but also a chance to chat with other guest from "all-over". Take a drive to Chester Depot and see Flamstead Mountain loaming over the town and Stone Houses on "North Street". Stan Hunsdon

    Clean but small

    September 27, 2011

    We had a tough time finding rooms in the area that would take us for 1 night only during the Foliage season. The rooms were small but clean. The included breakfast was so-so. The people were very nice that worked at the Inn.

    Dim the Lights a bit...

    February 16, 2011

    We spent a Valentine's evening at the Fullerton. We discovered the inn while cruising the Chester area during the Summer. For the past several years, our tradition was to celebrate V-Day at the Tavern in Windham just down the road a piece, but thought to "mix it up" this year. The Fullerton, while not nearly as elegant as the Tavern, was simple in its charm and unpretentious in a good way. The location on the on the Green (or Common?) was typically New England and picturesque. The Inn itself was decorated in New England fashion, not overdone or too puritan. The fireplace in the Main Room was beautiful, BUT, with the glaring lights, the area had all the ambiance of a police interrogation, rather than a spot to pitch woo. We moved to the bar area, which has its own fireplace and romantically dimmed lighting. It was quiet until a couple of NASCAR fans arrived, turned on the flat screen (there are no televisions in the rooms) and started pounding Buds. No pitching woo there either. It was time to return to our room. Dining was fairly priced and presentation thoughtful. Staff was attentive, but not intrusive. The wine list was pretty good and had some good values. Being close to many activities, skiing and snowshoeing in particular, make it a good base. We may return, but will try some of the other inns/B&Bs in the area.
