Copper Beech Inn

On a country road only a 5-minute drive from the fascinating town of Essex on the mouth of the Connecticut River, this is a traditional, handsome setting with excellent service and food. We stayed in one of the newer outer buildings, and our room was spacious and nicely updated. Service was outstanding. Outer buildings an ADA challenge but not the older central inn. We had a great stay.

The restaurant/ bar was excellent!

A comfortable, spacious room and bath, and a lovely setting for breakfast. However, portions of the breakfast were overcooked on all 3 mornings. The property has some condition problems: the steps in front of the Comstock House are deteriorating, and the driveway to it is eroding and full of potholes.

The Inn is charming, we had a wonderful dinner in the attractive dining room and the rooms in the outer building where we stayed were large and lovely. There were a number of steps required to access the building with our rooms, however, which were challenging for my mother. I’m not sure what was going on around the property, but the grounds on one side were torn up and rather unattractive.

Great rooms but the airconditioning is loud and sounds like an airplane in the room. The restaurant is limited and very expensive. No room service but breakfast was an awesome experience and free with room.

Place needs TLC. Management assured us twice prior to check-in that hydrobaths in rooms worked “wonderfully” but when we tried using it we found it inoperable. Called front desk and manager told us all tubs had been disconnected. Bought us drinks to make up for lie. Dinner and breakfast were very good.

The gardens to the East of the glassed in sun porch where we enjoyed breakfast for two mornings are very attractive and obviously well cared for. The sun room itself was an enjoyable setting for breakfast. The staff members were all extremely pleasant and seemed quite happy to be working there. Our room in the adjacent building at the very back of the property was very spacious. The bathroom even has a jacuzzi tub besides a spacious walk-in shower. We were very pleased with the accommodations. John and Karen

The property Inn Keeper was very nice and accommodating. Unfortunately for them, they had a tenant run over a bathtub on the top floor which spilled down into the room we had reserved. They gave us a different room and accommodated our 3rd person party with a slight upcharge for a second room for the inconvenience. The room smelled musty but I feel that this will be resolved quickly as we came on a Monday and the issue occurred over the weekend. Sheets and bedding was clean and sanitized. Towels and wash cloths were clean. The soap provided was lovely lavender Vermont soap. Please note: there are no elevators or ramps for luggage. We hauled our suitcases up the stairs. One of us had back surgery and this made things difficult. Another lady who was a senior citizen was in the lobby pulling out items bc she couldn’t get her suitcase up. When asked, Jean at the front desk stated, “any abled-body person would not have any trouble navigating the stairs.” I’m pretty sure she is gone soon as the rest of the staff was friendly and helpful..Jose at breakfast was delightful and the food was extremely good with homemade bread used for toast. Quite lovely view as well. All in all it was a good stay.

We stayed here for our anniversary these last couple of days. It is a lovely property though we though the main building is not connected to the building where our room was and we had to drive back and forth between them. There is a lovely english garden with a fountain as well. Our room was very nice and spacious with a beautiful bed, huge bathtub and good sized shower. The only odd thing was we couldn't find the light switch for the reading lights! We had to keep unplugging them. The breakfast is pretty much as minimal as it gets (bagels, cereal and muffins). The one really irritating issue we had, and the one that drops the rating for the place was the Massage Therapy services. One of the reasons I picked this property over another was because they said on their website that they have massage services. We called in advance and told the innkeeper we'll be arriving late so we wanted to book the massage in advance so we have no issues. They wouldn't give us the number for the massage therapist but instead said she will contact us back. When we arrived we received a message that for our entire stay they have no availability to provide massage services. That really put a damper on things for us. There was nothing we could have done differently to get the massage services they advertise on their website. This isn't a pool being out of order, this is plain our not having a service that was advertised on their website. This really felt like felt like false advertising.

Great jacuzzi, a little stingy with soap (one tiny disc provided) and towels -- would have appreciated knowing ahead of time about all the stairs up to our room but Expedia doesn't provide that info. We could have used help with our large suitcase but there wasn't any staff to provide that service. Large comfortable room with a good bed.

The place has a ton of potential. I realize staffing shortages are a reality. However, Our room was very nice but the carpet was white and lacked a good vacuum and cleaning. Pathways were run over by debris. Gutters and weeds. The area behind was overrun by growth and dead brush. Just an overall scrub would help.

Nice location and nice staff. Room furniture is old and carpet is separated and dirty around the baseboards. I stay in a lot of hotel and this was average and not worth $450/night.

Checked in on Friday afternoon and quickly dropped out bags off in the room before we had a lovely dinner in the restaurant. When we went back to our room that night, there was a smell, kind of like cigarette smoke. (We noticed that the door on the smoke alarm was open and the battery had been removed.) The smell was still bad the next morning, so we notified the front desk. They were fully booked and unable to move us. We ended up moving to a different hotel for the rest of our stay. Beyond the smell, the room wasn't in the condition that I would have expected for $350/night, such as the peeling wallpaper in the bathroom.

The Copper Beech Inn was top class years ago, but is shabby now, with mildew, shoddy repair work and tired furnishings. The continental breakfast was disappointing, considering the price of our room, and the staff were indifferent.

Clean, luxurious room with a great bed and lovely linens. Bathroom was spotless.

This could have been a great stay but there was so much wood damage to the bathtub, mounding and ceiling in our room that it really took away from the overall experience. surprising they would rent this room given its condition

The room was large, very nice and clean.

Property was very nice and staff upon arrival was very helpful in getting us checked in. The room was very nice and clean, and the building overall was charming. The toilet in the room needed service however as we had to hold down the handle anytime it was used, and check out was not quite as friendly and staff felt short and eager to get us out. Not a bad place by any standard, but not unique for what you get for the cost.

Was neat and clean

This place was beautiful! Loved our room. Nice breakfast. Staff is very nice. Room always cleaned nice! Close to many attractions and shopping. Will go back!!!!

Peaceful, quiet, well appointed room. Attentive staff. Delicious breakfast!

Our room was spacious, clean and our dinner was wonderful. It turned out to be a great find and we look forward to returning.

From start to finish, this was a great stay. We arrived in time to enjoy a bottle of champagne (which we brought along) seated on the front porch of the entrance. We were pleased to open our room #4 door to a room in the hotel proper, which was large, very clean, bright and sunny. The bathroom has been recently updated with an enormous shower/tub with a radiant heat floor. Toasty warm feet on a chilly fall morning! The breakfast included in the price of the room was beyond expectation, and we were seated in the glassed in atrium portion of the restaurant. The coffee and eggs were excellent, and the service was attentive.

We had a wonderful visit. Our room was very elegant and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful with flowers and well kept shrubs all around. We had dinner at the inn restaurant. It was delicious, breakfast was most enjoyable too.

Staff was very nice, eager to please and hard-working. Food was excellent and service in restaurant was generally very good. Property needs some TLC however. These are ownership issues and not day-to-day management concerns: Torn wallpaper stairwell wall and landing. Dim wall light in hallway to room. Non-functioning smoke detector in hallway ceiling. No fire extinguisher in 2nd floor hallway (bracket was empty). Mattress saggy. No tea/coffee in room.

Great rooms but the airconditioning is loud and sounds like an airplane in the room. The restaurant is limited and very expensive. No room service but breakfast was an awesome experience and free with room.

Had a fantastic room 324 in the newer building.. Breakfast was delicious and service terrific..

I wish every B&B owner would take note of this property! Honestly one of the best experiences. From the moment you drive through the area. Such a quaint New England block with beautiful homes. The foyer had a wonderful scent of Fall. Staff was so friendly. The home is tastefully decorated. Our room was beautiful. Room #4. Very comfortable. Tv,AC, sitting area, incredibly comfortable bed/bedding, ample storage, fully equipped bathroom with plenty of hooks (nothing worse than a bathroom with no hooks/towel rack). Our breakfast was delicious too. Thank You Copper Beech Inn for a wonderful Fall getaway. Can't wait to return!!

This place is a gem and the service was extraordinary. The bed was super comfy and the room was amazing. Unfortunately, we did not have dinner (although the menu looks good). We did have the brunch - which was very good. Next time (and there will be a next time) we'll check out the dinner situation.

Always nice & well run. Staff is great

The staff is absolutely amazing. We loved every second of our stay!

Return visit. Outstanding staff and accommodations.

Room was clean. Property looks nothing like photos, it needs to be cleaned up and painted. Service minimal.

Excellent - highly recommended. Staff were all great!

First time ever staying here. We were at a local wedding near by. It is a very cute place. Driving to the building all the way in the back where we were staying but very unlevel. Lots of holes driving up. Breakfast they said comes with the stay. It's not really breakfast it's muffins and bagels with yogurt or cereal. Other local places to eat near by. Our room was very nice. The place could definitely use some updating for sure but it was cute. The service was great! If you want water bottles. I would bring your own. They do have 1 blue bottle of water that I'm pretty sure you have to pay for. Otherwise it was very nice with our walk out balcony.

This is a wonderful place to stay! The rooms are very clean and all the staff was great. There is access to many sites.

Nice location and nice staff. Room furniture is old and carpet is separated and dirty around the baseboards. I stay in a lot of hotel and this was average and not worth $450/night.

We took the North Pole Express so it was such a convenient location.

Lovely place to relax and enjoy.

Our getaway to the Copper Beech Inn was superb! There is such an ambiance of elegance, beauty, joy and care. Everything is immaculate and the floral gardens are truly beautiful. The staff appears to truly enjoy their work and they put forth their best effort to make certain guests are enjoying their stay. So appreciate the serenity experienced.

Rooms are large, breakfast okay but no healthy choices

Could hear people walking upstairs. The breakfast was minimal only carbohydrates. The dinner was expensive and fair,

A comfortable, spacious room and bath, and a lovely setting for breakfast. However, portions of the breakfast were overcooked on all 3 mornings.

Great little Inn! Clean, nice decor in the room. Great food in the restaurant. Staff was very helpful. I can recommend with no reservations.
