    Hawthorne Inn - Breakfast room

Off of Route 2A on Lexington Road in the heart of Minutemen country, I arrived at the Hawthorne Inn, my favorite bed and breakfast in Concord, Massachusetts. The owner of the inn, Marilyn, greeted me at the entrance and showed me to my room. The inn is furnished with furniture, art, and artifacts that are representative of colonial New England of the 19th Century with other kinds of art, such as Japanese ukiyo-e prints, Haitian voodoo masks, and 17th Century Persian helmets, scattered about here and there. Walking into my room, I noticed a cat on the 4 poster bed in my room. She was friendly and didn't seem to mind me hanging out with her. http://static.px.yelp.com/photo/gsDWbndD_Nix9s_MOTuYYQ/l The room had teal wallpaper, lots of folk art, a love seat near the roll away desk, and a rattan reading chair by the bed. It was very comfortable, very cozy. I hung out in my room with the cat for a while before going out to downtown Concord for dinner. After dinner I sat in the sitting room downstairs where the fireplace was blazing and I met some of the other guests in the inn. We talked some more in the morning when we ate breakfast in the communal dining room together. Breakfast included your choice of coffee, tea, muffins and other baked goods, a seasonal fruit plate, yogurt, or granola. Rooms at the inn range from $125 - $325 per night depending on the season. After breakfast, I went into downtown Concord to look for an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance, which I found in a book in my room. In the essay Emerson emphasizes the importance of avoiding conformity and trusting in our own ideas and instincts: "Trust thyself, every heart vibrates to that iron string...." This spirit of individuality and the belief that there is no problem that we can't handle if we apply ourselves to the solution is what attracts me to New England, to Concord, to the Hawthorne Inn. There's a sense of history there where our country was essentially founded, a creative energy burns there also where so many creative thinkers and writers lived. Walden Pond, the Minutemen Park, the old North Bridge where the "first shot heard round the world" was fired are all in Concord. It's worth visiting to remember that "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles."

    My boyfriend and I spent a night at the Samuel Fitch House this past weekend, and it was fantastic…read more The website does not do it justice! The house itself is a 300-year-old farmhouse that has been owned by only 5 families throughout its history. Most of the original structure remains today, giving the place an authentic rustic feel -- not kitchy, like so many other bed & breakfasts. The hostess is cheerful and charming, and more than happy to give you a tour of the grounds (including a tunnel in the basement that was part of the underground railroad!). For us, she made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies fresh upon arrival. We stayed in the Carriage House, which really is a bargain for the space. The two-story suite includes a fireplace, kitchenette, television, desk, couch, armchair, and small table with two chairs. This is in addition to an outdoor porch attached to the unit, and the beautiful upstairs bedroom (with air conditioning). Breakfast was delectable, made exactly to our preferences, and served on a screened-in porch overlooking the gardens. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! I'd definitely stay here again, and would absolutely recommend this to any couple looking for a quick getaway from Boston.

She really took the time to get in touch with us before our visit to be sure everything was going to be to our liking. She will make your visit what you wish... if you want the historic tour, you'll get it! If you want privacy and peace and quiet, she'll just be there when you need her. The house has wonderful character and charm and so much history. The fire was roaring when we arrived and the entire visit felt like a special getaway for us from work and the kids, even if it was only a few towns away. I would go just for breakfast if I could, homemade and delicious.

    We stayed here for two nights while in Concord. Very quaint, quiet inn within walking distance to…read morethe absolutely charming downtown area of Concord. Each room in the Inn is completely unique in decor and arrangement, and is named after a prominent figure in American history (we were in the "Emily Dickinson suite"), which was fun for history buffs. Each morning the communal dining area offers a fresh breakfast buffet in addition to being served by the friendly staff of the Inn, who take individual orders for hot food such as eggs, pancakes, sausage, etc. This was a great space to talk with the other residents of the inn. These five stars are secretly four and a half, as in all honesty, the older woman who was present for the majority of our stay as the concierge, while accommodating and helpful, wasn't particularly as friendly as one would expect for an intimate Inn. However this certainly didn't take enough away from the quality of the Inn to merit four stars. Would absolutely recommend this hidden gem!

My husband and I travel every Dec to the Army Navy game n always like spending a few days after n taking in the local sights, but mostly the history. Given that this location is LITERALLY where the Revolutionary War began, it would have been nice to have a friendlier staff (unmasked) and been told some history of the city AND the home. Every B&B we've ever been to, (10 in the past few years alone) we've been greeted with questions as to where we are from, and been told about the facility, location, etc. I got more at a Hilton earlier in our trip. Embrace your customers. Being met by a masked worker is NOT welcoming. I felt she thought we were putting her out and toxic to her. This was our home for 2 days and we should not feel like that. The inn is beautiful, the food was good n fresh, the bedding was luxurious n comfy. But your customer service has something to be desired for those choosing a more personal n quaint experience.

If you're considering an event here, book it now and you won't be disappointed. First off, the property is stunning. The house has beautiful rooms to get ready in with great light; the facade of the house makes for beautiful photos; the barn is iconic and warm; the gardens were stunning in full bloom; there are fences and paths through the woods galore. We had our ceremony at the top of a hill overlooking a scenic New England field and pond. The reception was in a beautiful field under a big tree for shade. And for those worried about unsteady grandparents, there were easy ways to help them get around. Everything was beautiful, a real classic New England farm. Then, the decorations! Every small detail was perfect. All of the flowers were fresh from Wendy's garden and the arrangements were PERFECT. The signage and table settings were gorgeous and involved freshly stripped bark with calligraphied names of all of our guests. There were blankets on the back of all of the chairs for when it got chillier at night! Seriously, Wendy thought of everything. And last, but certainly not least, Wendy! You couldn't ask for a better planner, friend, and kind soul. She has been a wedding planner for decades and now she and her husband run the Phineas Wright House. I didn't stress once on the day of the wedding because I knew Wendy had it all under control. From the moment my husband and I started planning the wedding, she was alongside us supporting and cheering us on. I would often say "I'm so grateful for Wendy!" We had started our wedding planning with Wendy when we were going to have a 100 person wedding elsewhere, and by the end we had a 12 person, socially distanced wedding at her home, and honestly it was absolutely perfect. I still dream of the Phineas Wright House and our magical wedding day. I wish you the same joy!

The barn…read moreand property are available for private rental for parties of 25 or less. Located in Bolton's historic town center, the Phineas Wright House is the perfect backdrop for your photoshoot, Indy film project, retreat, elopement, or epic dinner with friends. The best feeling after a dreamy day arranging flowers, learning a new skill or enjoying a fabulous field dinner is knowing you can also stay the night in the bed & breakfast. Plan your own dreamy experience here or join a hosted event put together by the owner, a 30-year veteran of the wedding industry who concentrates on curating experiences where guests feel welcomed, anticipated, and celebrated.

    Fletcher Tavern Bed & Breakfast - Sitting area in the Tavern Room

    I just got home from the nicest 3 day stay here! I had to travel to the area for business and…read moredecided that I wanted to stay someplace with some charm and character so I chose the Fletcher Tavern Bed & Breakfast and I am so glad that I did. I would have really missed out on the experience if I had stayed at some cold, indifferent corporate hotel next door to a fast food restaurant. I booked the upstairs Tavern room which has it's own a detached bathroom with an antique clawfoot tub. The bedroom was comfortably furnished with two cozy sitting areas, a fluffy double feather bed and lots of interesting antiques. The plush feather bed was so fluffy that for the first time in months I woke up without a backache, which was also glorious benefit to my stay. The room also came with amenities like gourmet snacks, beverages, reading materials, WiFi access, and a television. (Although I had so much to see and do between the 2 Tavern rooms and the surrounding area that I didn't even bother turning on television!) The house itself is a sight to see, as it dates to the early 1700's and is lovingly furnished with beautiful antiques and the hostess, Elizabeth, has classical music playing softly in the background at all times. Elizabeth is also lovely, and just so gracious. In addition to beautifully channeling her inner Katherine Hepburn (minus Katherine's famous acidic quips) she goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are met and your stay is memorable. She either stayed up really late, or got up incredibly early, each day that I needed to leave early for work to set out a separate breakfast for me in the main dining room which overlooks the flower filled garden. She made sure that the hot items were hot and the cold items were cold, and it was all delicious. It was served with a bouquet of fresh flowers, under the dimmed chandelier, on the most delicate bone china serving pieces while Chopin played over Bose speakers faintly in the background...now THAT is the way to start a work day. The final day that I was there I was able to have breakfast at a decent time and she served me assorted tropical fruits and whole grain pancakes with butter and real maple syrup and French Press coffee on the flower ringed back patio. It was glorious. Nobody wants to travel on work for multiple days, but if you find yourself needing to travel and in this area, do yourself a HUGE favor and stay here instead of at the corporate hotel chain down by the highway. It's right in town so it's the same distance geographically, and you will likely pay about the same, or maybe less, and your experience will be 100x more memorable.

The reservation was cancelled the morning of my arrival due to overbooking. I contacted the owner by phone once I was notified by Orbitz. After speaking the owner determined she could accommodate me since I was a single. I confirmed check in until 10 pm. When I arrived @ 9 pm. I got no answer at the door or by phone, when I Repeatedly called & rang the doorbell. The owner had obviously found someone else to rent the room to and I was left w no place to stay!!! At 9 pm at night! It seemed she had trouble operating modern technology . She had contacted Expedia not Orbitz which added to her confusion. A TOTAL DISASTER! Don't book this place!
