Talk about charm...this is a beautiful and well-maintained Victorian home. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and well appointed. The Thai restaurant inside the inn was excellent, and there was a live pianist on Friday evening to add to the charm.

South Shire is a quaint Victorian Inn on Elm Street within walking distance to the center of Bennington, VT. The Inn has a family feel and elegance. We traveled as a couple. It was easy to get to sites and enjoy fine restaurants. The Inn is in keeping with the feel of strength of the Bennington community, as a place for artists, musicians, and people's expression generally to thrive. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend South Shire.

Welcoming staff, lovely room. You must try the restaurant, it’s very good. They kindly set up a table for me by the fire on a snowy night. Absolutely delicious. Felt very well treated. Only flaw was I could hear a very loud snorer in a neighbouring room but that’s hardly their fault.

A unique historical property, the furnishings are all lovely antiques. The parlor room is a beauty and it was so nice to have a cup of tea there at the end of the day. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. It was like staying at your great aunt's glamorous home...welcoming and comfortable. The bed was amazing!

South Shire is a beautiful place filled with history and character. The staff were wonderful; kind and attentive. They were welcoming to us and our pup throughout the stay. We were very happy with the quality of the mattress and linens as well as the ac being nice and cold on a very hot day (not always things you find in an older bed and breakfast.) We would absolutely stay here again.

We had an amazing stay. Everything about South Shire was perfect. It is beautifully decorated and furnished. They were very accommodating for our late arrival. We stayed in the Hayloft room in the carriage house and the bed felt like we were sleeping on a cloud. We look forward to staying again soon.

Classic style and comfort.

A wonderful little hotel in what was once a family home. The hotel has personality and a wonderfully cozy ambiance. The host was very personable and polite, and was a joy to converse with. The room had great personality, and each room has their own individual style. Our room had plenty of space to move around, and did not feel stuffy or confined. The bed was an incredibly comfortable four-poster. We will definitely mark this as a hotel to revisit whenever we are in the area.
