West Dover Inn

We have never been to an Inn and we weren't sure what to expect. We arrived early and our room was ready so we were able to check in right away. The owners son gave us a tour of the Inn as well as the history behind it. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. After we checked in we went to the Adams Farm for a sleigh ride. It was awesome. Then we headed back to the Inn to freshen up and go to the bar for some drinks and appetizers and watch the game (Saints vs. 49ers) and then the (Pats vs. Broncos). The bartender was very friendly. The magician was awesome. Still trying to figure out how he gets the cards on the ceiling. There was a singer there as well. Very good. The food at the bar was awesome. And the best part was we didn't have to go out in the cold. The tavern had entertainment, the football game, food and drinks, friendly atmosphere. What more could you ask for? Met the owner the next morning. He was very nice. Even though they had closed for breakfast they opened the kitchen to accommodate us and made us breakfast. I can't say enough about this place. I would highly recommend it. We will definately making this our "go to" place in Vermont. Thanks for a great and memorable weekend!

Grounds were not as well kept as they appear in the picture. We were upgraded to a suite as we were the only guests that night, it was cold and the suite had a fireplace. It was a nice gesture but we thought the single rooms were much brighter and prettier. Our room was clean and the bed was cosy. Our host was very accommodating and friendly and provided us with a detailed route enabling us to explore the SW Vermont area with ease. Food was just ok but service was good. We found the inn overpriced for what we received and will try a B and B on our next visit.

Phil knows what he is doing, food great!, people great, would definately go there again and we will next year Thanks Chris Geagon

Phil was very friendy and helpfull to make suggestions for our stay and activities to do......Dinner was fantastic......All the staff very friendly

We came a little off season, but were kept cozy with all the fires around the B and B. We requested the duck tenders and squash ravioli appetizers in the living room along with our local wine which the Innkeeper had no trouble with our having in the living room. The food was so good that we decided to stay for dinner at The Tavern. We enjoyed the free entertainment and knowing that we were a part of the local community having a good time. Our room was neat and comfortable and we ventured off the next day in the rain to a wonderful place called The Garden Cafe in Londonderry, also not to be missed. Thank you West Dover Inn Hosts and Staff!

We've been visiting the Inn for several years usually once in the spring and again in the fall. Seen it change ahnds and were its first visitors under the new Innkeepers Kathy & Phil. The place never skipped a beat! Great company, wonderful rooms, inpeccible food and beverage! You won't be sorry! Go and you'll be back!

After spending the day skiing at Mt. Snow, we drove the two miles to the West Dover Inn. Although we had not stayed at this inn before, we found the history of the Inn to be of interest so we decided to try it. We throughly enjoyed our stay. The owner (and his son) were excellent hosts. The atmosphere was relaxed and provided an excellent example of New England hospitality. After spending time in the bar we decided to try the restaurant for dinner. The meal was excellent as we enjoyed our food at a table by the fireplace. If you like New England charm in a location that has character then you should give the West Dover Inn a try. Our only disappointment was we did not see the ghost that is supposed to have been seen in the Inn.

Our stay at the West Dover Inn was great! We were looking for a few days away from daily routine and visiting VT was the right choice. Phil greeted us upon arrival and showed us our room. We also arrived a few hours early and he was very accommodating on letting us check in early. We stayed in the Mount Snow suite. The room was great and very comfortable. It was also very convenient that the room was just upstairs from the bar/restaurant area. We went to the bar for dinner and live music. The food and service were excellent! We had good laughs with the locals and our bartender Greg. Overall our stay was a great getaway before heading back home.

Very nice place, Mr. Gilpin was extremely helpful in working with our late arrival and helping us plan some nice driving routes to our next destination in the morning. Highly recommended.

The West Dover Inn is everything you'd expect an Inn in Vermont to be, cozy, charming - the service warm and friendly. We had room 4 with a fireplace, which was a lovely perk. It was spacious and comfortable. Only issue we had was that the shower knobs are extremely temperamental and can run extremely hot or cold depending on a fraction of an inch! Other than this, we were very happy and would recommend it to anyone. They even have a cozy living room at the Inn with board games and comfy sofas to lounge inn.

A brief stay as part of a longer trip, our time at the inn was peaceful and relaxing. The innkeeper was cordial, entertaining, and highly skilled. The menu is uncomplicated, but every item was carefully prepared with fresh ingredients, many of them local. The staff was very careful with allergies and sensitivities, and made us feel welcome. We'd go back!

Innkeeper was extremely professional and accommodating. The rooms we're quaint with the only flaw being an advertised digital satellite service on a microscopic TV (but believe me, between the amazing two-person jacuzzi tub and fantastic dining room below.....the boobtube is really a non-issue). I went during a slow b&b season and still was able to find ample things for me and my fiancee to do. I would highly recommend this b&b to those looking for a warm, relaxing place at a reasonable price.

Great place for a getaway. Rooms are nice and clean. Gilpin family are great people and fun to visit. We'll be back.

Went for "leaf peeping" in VT. Just past peak but still an awesome display! Everyone at the West Dover Inn was extremely friendly. Service was great and the food was great too! Very accommodating.

Charming and efficient service; couldn't be better. Breakfast was exceptional; don't miss the pancakes. Do stay here!!

The Innkeeper & his wife made you feel at home. Nice bar, excellent food. Enjoyed our stay. Mike from Scotland

I needed to find a new place to stay, off the beaten path a bit, cozy and warm and different. I stay in the Vermont area quite a bit. I happened to be in town and needed an overnight and the whole area in the vicinity of Wilmington, was booked due to a large wedding. Phil Jr. and the staff took care of us and made the last minute stay, quite enjoyable. Stay here, you won’t regret it!

We came up for a family wedding and saw this Inn on the internet. Was very impressed with both the friendliness and courtesy of all employees we met and talk to and also the innkeeper. The rooms were very nicely furnished and made your feel as though you were in your own home and not at a hotel. The food and service were excellent. This was our first time at a bed and breakfast and certainly will not be our last.

This was our 3rd esxperience with a B&B (although this one was without one B (Breakfast). Did have coffee that we made ourselfs. Was cold, dark and small bed. Guess this was what living in early 1800's was like! We think that this will be our last B&B.

This family run inn should not be missed on your visit to Vermont. The cozy room with beautiful antiques, delicious dining in front of the fire place was romantic and quaint. The bed was comfortable. The electric fireplace added extra warmth when we wanted it. The proprieters were friendly and accomodating. We enjoyed talking to Greg in the bar till closing. We loved the small towns, beautiful fall scenery, and friendly people in all of Windham county that we visited.

The West Dover Inn is beautiful on the outside. Because we had to have a room with two beds we were given a room above the restaurant. The beds were hard. Room was cold. The room smelled like all the food that was cooked below us. We could clearly hear each song being sung by the entertainment in the bar, glasses and dishes clanking and food being removed from dirty plates in the kitchen. However, I believe I ate the best steak I've ever had in their restaurant.

We had a wonderful stay with our young children. The big room was large and the 2 single beds made the kids happy that they did not have to sleep with each other or Mum and Dad. The room was very clean and charming with room to move. The beds were comfortable and warm covers. We had an issue with a noisy pipe in the wall which periodically woke us during the night, but overall our short stay was nice. The restaurant surprised us with the quality of the food, especially the steak.

Stayed two nights. Got a suite which included a gas fireplace and a two person jacuzzi tub. Overall the condition of the room was very good and clean. Did not like the fact that the room was over the tavern as the noise level was loud sometimes. Not too loud but if you are trying to relax and do not like noise it might be bothersome. Noise was gone around 10 p.m. Breakfast was not included in the room rate. If you add the price of breakfast on to your room then the price of the room is equal to other places. The breakfast was good. Overall we thought it was a very nice place to stay and we really did enjoy the amenities of the suite.

Our room was nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. The shower was tiny, and the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner. In general, we had a short, but pleasant stay.

Great ambience, terrifc service by our host, in every way.

The West Dover Inn is our home away from home. The wonderful staff, excellent food and great entertainment make it a special visit every time. These innkeepers know how to treat their guests.

Drove by inn first time - construction lift was blocking sign. Check in was 4pm, arrived at 3:15, no one at the desk for check in. Called innkeeper cell number provided but only got voice mail. Friendly staff in pub and dining room.

Warm welcome, clean rooms, great food and lots of fun in the bar with the live music.

a wonderful stay, Phil is a gracious host and very accomidating. food was unbelievable. I would go back just to eat!! room were perfect. better than what I expected. will definetly return.

Great place to stay. The innkeepers are wonderful, the rooms are clean, and is close to Mount Snow. WIll stay there again!

After a warm greeting at the front door, we found our stay to be very pleasant and comfortable. Th Inn has a very inviting quality, with the public and private rooms quite comfortable, pleasant, and very clean. The bar and dining rooms are beautiful and in keeping with the historic quality of the Inn. This is a winner!.

Service was exceptional. Very accommodating with our late check-out. Beautiful rooms. Great place to stay.

When I look for a moderately priced inn, I want to know that it is clean. West Dover Inn met the test. The host is quite accomodating - iron & ironing board brought to the room. Windows open and air conditioning is available if wanted. It has a bed and breakfast feel with a private table in the dining room. The big surprise was the 'fine dining' for dinner. The food was elegant and delicious and beautifully served. We were hosting a small birthday dinner and really appreciated the ambience.
