Waybury Inn

It's a cute establishment and the most of the staff were really nice. Our first night we had a reservation (confirmed) when we arrived we were told the kitchen was no longer accepting orders ( the waitress seemed very stressed we felt bad for her) however another lady confirmed we did have a reso and accepted us. The food both times we ate in the attached pub was fabulous!! We actually had alot of laughs with the staff in the pub (the ladies were great!!) Similar to other recent posts - there is no one to greet you for check in-check out - basically an honor system - but very straight forward. We stayed in the top "Bread Loaf" suite - Not sure if anyone knew we were there the whole time lol (not that we needed any cleaning service). The beds and rooms are very cozy, no TV which we didn't mind. HOWEVER - our rooms had an abundance of brown beetles and lady bugs - we caught at least 10 a day - not exactly entertaining. The heat was not on for the majority of the time we were there (4 nights) thankfully we had a heater for one of the rooms and extra blankets. We did call the after hours number with no answer and no call back - seemed odd. The morning breakfast was great and the staff were quite nice as well. Overall we had a good time aside from the beetles and lady bugs however if you need any assistance - there isn't much to be had. I think the Inn is listed for sale so maybe the management is in transition? The Inn has potential and could be a really great place to get away with great food if there was maybe a little more service and less "air bnb" vibe? Bring back Darryl & Darryl for more laughs.

We arrived at the Waybury Inn on Saturday evening 2/10/24. When we arrived, there was no one at the front desk to check us in. We rang the bell several times and walked around to locate someone. When we got to our room; the Green Mountain Room #10, the room was very chilly. The rooms were equipped with 2 radiators, one in the room and one in the bathroom. We asked the bartender in the pub how to operate the radiators. It doesn’t take a “rocket scientist” to figure it out, however, they must have either been broken or the heat was off, as I saw lockboxes on the thermostats throughout the Inn. No matter which way we turned the knob, the radiators were stone cold. There was NO HEAT all night. The bartender at the Pub told us we could request a space heater, however before we realized we weren’t getting any heat, it was too late. Also, a note to those that like to sleep with a television for noise, there was NO TV. We slept until about 6:00 AM still freezing. I took a shower to warm up, even though I was skeptical about having hot water. We had hot water, and the shower pressure was great, however, the tub DID NOT DRAIN. I had to stand in the water, and it was very slow to drain after the water was turned off. We would have liked to stay for the complimentary breakfast which didn’t start until 7:30 AM. We couldn’t wait to get out of there and into our warm car, so we left around 6:30 AM, as we were miserable. I would not recommend staying at this establishment.

We hadn’t been to the Waybury Inn/Pub for dinner since pre-pandemic. Our son and his fiancée were visiting and we were looking for a restaurant in Middlebury open on a Monday evening. Most everything was closed. Except for the Waybury! They just started opening on Mondays. The chef sent out some free appetizers for us to try. Loved the tempura lilies picked fresh from their flower garden and pickled fiddleheads preserved on site earlier that spring. They have a new chef who is keeping some dishes traditional the Waybury but also introducing some new and unique dishes.

Room was quaint, typical colonial decor. No tv, which was fine by me. Our room faced the street, and you could hear traffic going by. Place could use new thermal windows as our room was very cold and the radiator did nothing. It was like camping inside. The exterior wall, which we had 2, were very cold, and you could feel it. We had drinks and apps at the attached pub and resturaunt, which is very nice. If you go here in winter, ask for a space heater or extra blankets. We had the green room, if the helps with your decision. Also, all rooms are upstairs, so if you have problems with mobility this is not an option.

The uniqueness were no clocks in rooms, no tv in rooms and the atmosphere was relaxing. The things we didn’t like were The day before you check in they hold your whole reservation cost plus an extra $ 200 from which ever account your using, they do not tell you about this when booking… They hold the money till you check out. I brought this up to the front desk and she said they get multiple calls from people complaining the Waybury Inn does this, she also stated people state they are strapped for money due to the Inn not telling people about this an just taking and holding it…Breakfast was not good, pancakes were raw and meat was questionable.

The inn is charming and quirky. It may not be for everyone, but the breakfast was lovely and the room generally comfortable.

This is a gem! The Inn is convenient to Middlebury College and is very quiet. After a long drive, it was so nice to be able to walk downstairs to the pub and have a delicious meal. The room was very comfortable and the breakfasts that came with the stay were delicious. The staff was super friendly. Will definitely stay again when in the area.

The property was nice - a typical Vermont Inn. Warm cookies offered upon arrival. Breakfast was very good - Patrice was our waitperson - extremely personable.

The bed and breakfast nice just not great cell reception, no tv in room. The rooms are smaller but it is a B&B. The breakfast was great and the restaurant and bar attached was great also.
