The continental breakfast was packaged muffins from the store that did not look appetizing. We went to the wonderful Southern Pie Bakery for some delicious muffins just a few doors down.

I stumbled upon this Fall Foliage train tour after planning a trip from Virginia to Vermont for my…read morehusband's birthday. It was our first time in Vermont, and we were very much looking forward to a romantic, slow weekend. The train tour seemed like something we'd really like. I actually very much enjoyed the ride. We came a little early in the year (the 1st day of fall), so the fall foliage wasn't completely changed over yet, but we still saw some great views. I purchased the tickets online. They offer a variety of tours and 2 different locations for the fall foliage tour. You can either choose a 1 hour trip to Rockingham, which is the tour we chose. Or you can choose a 2 hour trip to Ludlow. From my understanding, Ludlow is more town views and Rockingham is more mountain views. It was $25 per person for our tour. This does not include beverages or a meal; it is simply a train ride. Country Girl Diner was available on board should snacks or beverages interest you for an additional fee. They do offer dinner rides, which did not interest us. We were scheduled to leave at 3:30pm and arrived about 15 minutes prior to boarding. There wasn't any directions on where to stand when we arrived; some folks were waiting on one side of the building, and some on the other...a few inside. So I asked a gentleman, who looked as though he might be staff, and he told me where we'd be boarding. It would've been nice if someone was there that gave directions to all of us, so people wouldn't seem to be confused on where they need to be. I assume that that is his job, but instead he just stood around awaiting for the train with everyone. Once the train arrived, he walked over and threw down a stepping stool and we all started following him. We did not have to print off our tickets; we simply screenshot the tickets for them to see before boarding. It was open seating. We chose a seat facing the opposite direction of the depot, which proved to have the better views. The conductor does slow down for photos of a few of the sites (like a covered bridge), but overall, he does go fast and like several reviews mentioned, there is a lot of brush and not much to see. What we did see was very nice, but I would highly recommend that they slow it down for the majority of the trip rather than the other way around. The conductor did give a little information about what we were seeing over the intercom. I think I enjoyed this activity a lot more than my husband; and maybe more than many others who've been on it. I didn't expect much from it; it was a nice leisurely, simple ride through Vermont. I do feel like the tickets should have been about half of what they cost, due to the little you get to see. The train will go one direction a half hour up, and come back the same direction a half hour back. If you don't expect too much from the trip, you will be satisfied with the ride.

Drinks were not included but surprisingly reasonably priced. Pro Tip: Arrive early for a lakeside seat. Dinner includes a salad, your choice of half a dozen entrees, and a choice of strawberry trifle or flourless chocolate cake for dessert. I had the sirlion au poivre, which was cooked nicely, but perhaps a little heavy on the pepper, and RL had the filet of sole stuffed with scallop and crab. I could see the vegetarian lasagne at the next table, and it also looked wonderful. Large portions all round. Service was very friendly. And the sunset views across the lake were wonderful.

We stayed at the Franklyn Farm Inn for two nights, based on the content of its web site (site) and…read moreonline reviews, such as Google Reviews and booking.com. The site is misleading, and the reviews generally don't reflect our experience. Examples follow. First, though, I want to mention that we enjoyed speaking with "JJ," who was very helpful, pleasant, and informative. The comfortable rocking chairs and shawls are a nice touch. The site states, "Daily Baked Good. Enjoy homemade treats." The mass produced store bought cookies tasted awful. We weren't offered, and we didn't see or smell, any "baked good[s]" or "homemade treats." The closest "baked good" was a Pillsbury Grands biscuit served one of the mornings. The site indicates breakfast is served "7:30-9:30 a.m.," but it was served from 8 to 9 a.m. Neither day did breakfast even closely resemble the photos on the site. The first day, the commercially prepared French toast was undercooked. The second day, the commercially prepared quiche was barely warm. Both mornings, we ate all of our breakfast because we were very hungry. We've stayed at other B&Bs, in the US and in Europe, where the food (including the baked goods) was homemade and far superior to the two breakfasts that the Franklyn Farm Inn served. As stated on the information sheet posted on the room wall, towels aren't replaced, and the room isn't made up, daily. There was no place in the "petite" bathroom (or in the sleeping area) to hang the lush towels to dry. We were provided only one wash cloth each, even though we stayed for more than one night. The small trash receptacle wasn't emptied during our stay. At other B&Bs where we've stayed, towels were replaced at least every other day, there was an appropriate space in which to hang the towels to dry, the number of wash cloths was more than adequate, and the room was made up daily. During our entire stay, the hottest water in the bathroom sink was lukewarm. The liquid hand soap for the bathroom sink appeared to be diluted. The windows in the sleeping area are filthy, and the only way to keep either of the windows open is with a provided "stick." The first night, the room temperature was comfortably cool. However, the second night, the room was very uncomfortable because it was extremely hot and dry. The step provided to get into and out of the much too high comfortable beds is dangerous, as it slides on the wooden floor. Stuart, the dog, is cute and friendly. However, he may be "too much" for those who prefer to admire him from a distance. Per our request, the inn keeper supposedly gave us a senior discount. However, we've since noticed online that, in fact, we didn't receive a discount. Considering the above, almost $300 for two nights, including tax, is much too expensive. We won't return to, and we won't recommend, the Franklyn Farm Inn.
