The location is convenient for Fitchburg State University and downtown Fitchburg, yet many found it quiet. Cleanliness and the tasteful decor are praised across stays. Expect a warmly hosted, restful B&B experience.

For the wedding we stayed at our very first B&B. Howarth House Bed and Breakfast in Fitchburg, Mass. It is a beautiful house built in 1910. The current owners, Sarah and Ryan purchased the house in 2020. The owners were friendly, kind, accommodating and Ryan can sure cook a great breakfast. Sarah presented us with a departing gift of her homemade Blueberry and white chocolate scones. Delicious! The room was comfortable, the location quiet and we will definitely be back. I wish I had taken more pictures of the house and the gardens. They also have a pool, hot tub and chickens! We booked this B&B through Hotels.com but you can also call them direct. Thank you, Sarah and Ryan for sharing your home with us.

The house and grounds are beautiful. They reminded us of a fine English country house. Sarah and Ryan are ideal B&B hosts; friendly but not intrusive. Cold wine, beer and soft drinks were available in for guests to help themselves, as well as tea and coffee. We were attracted to the Howarth Suite with its whirlpool tub, and were not disappointed. It was large, full of beautiful and interesting things (as was the rest of the house), and the tub was easily big enough for two and worked very well. A very filling breakfast was served elegantly in a lovely room and included eggs freshly sourced from the property. They haven't been doing this for many years, but they certainly are doing it right!

My wife and I loved our stay at this bed and breakfast. We loved the room, that included a Jacuzzi for two, as well as the beautiful grounds that included a swimming pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, etc. The common area offered free coffee and drinks 24/7, and a beautiful dining room where we were served a wonderful home-cooked breakfast both days that we were there. The innkeeper 's, Sarah and Ryan, were a pleasure to meet and talk to, and their hospitality was accommodating and outstanding. All of this for no more than the cost of a hotel, we will definitely be back to to stay and visit the nearby Bull run restaurant, that offers great food and live entertainment year round. We will likely go just to hang out at the bed and breakfast and enjoy all that they have to offer. Thanks to Sarah and Ryan for making this birthday getaway one that we will remember!! Tom & Paula.

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying overnight at this charming bed and breakfast, and it was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The place was incredibly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated—every detail added to its warm and inviting atmosphere. All the amenities and accommodations were top-notch. The room was spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We especially appreciated the little touches that made it feel extra special. The highlight, though, was the homemade breakfast. Made from scratch, it was absolutely delicious—fresh, hearty, and clearly made with love. It was the perfect start to our day and truly set this B&B apart. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

This was my first time in a B&B and now it definitely won’t be my last! The home is very cozy and clean. The room was spacious and even had its own beautiful bathroom! And don’t get me started on her breakfast! Definitely recommended. Cheaper than most but 10x better. You can’t beat it! See you guys next summer! Or maybe sooner…

This was a solo relaxation get away after a weekend with kids and it was perfect. The room was quiet and comfortable with everything I needed. They had drinks and snacks downstairs but honestly I was so tired I was just looking for a comfortable place to rest and rejuvenate. The jetted tub was so relaxing before I went to bed. It was just what I needed. I slept better than I have in a long time. The bed was very comfortable with plenty of soft pillows.

Cute and quiet little house right off a main area. Comfortable and clean environment with a welcoming staff. Check in was a little different with a self check in method but was quick and simple! Breakfast was cute and intimate with fresh eggs and a well presented plate served with a smile. Overall we have had a great night and will def be returning!

My wife and I loved our stay at this bed and breakfast. We loved the room, that included a Jacuzzi for two, as well as the beautiful grounds that included a swimming pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, etc. The common area offered free coffee and drinks 24/7, and a beautiful dining room where we were served a wonderful home-cooked breakfast both days that we were there. The innkeeper 's, Sarah and Ryan, were a pleasure to meet and talk to, and their hospitality was accommodating and outstanding. All of this for no more than the cost of a hotel, we will definitely be back to to stay and visit the nearby Bull run restaurant, that offers great food and live entertainment year round. We will likely go just to hang out at the bed and breakfast and enjoy all that they have to offer. Thanks to Sarah and Ryan for making this birthday getaway one that we will remember!! Tom & Paula.

Lovely, quaint bed and breakfast. The hosts were wonderful and friendly. Beautiful room with excellent bed. The jetted tub was great too! Would definitely recommend. Just off the Fitchburg State University Campus and a short drive from the John Adam’s Homestead.

The house and grounds are beautiful. They reminded us of a fine English country house. Sarah and Ryan are ideal B&B hosts; friendly but not intrusive. Cold wine, beer and soft drinks were available in for guests to help themselves, as well as tea and coffee. We were attracted to the Howarth Suite with its whirlpool tub, and were not disappointed. It was large, full of beautiful and interesting things (as was the rest of the house), and the tub was easily big enough for two and worked very well. A very filling breakfast was served elegantly in a lovely room and included eggs freshly sourced from the property. They haven't been doing this for many years, but they certainly are doing it right!

Ryan and Sarah are wonderful hosts in this very quaint B&B. Wake up to the smell of fresh pancakes or French Toast being cooked and the aroma of fresh coffee. All the eggs come fresh from the ‘Hens of Howarth’ in the backyard. Very comfortable, relaxed. We have always enjoyed meeting other guests. Absolutely first class!

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying overnight at this charming bed and breakfast, and it was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The place was incredibly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated—every detail added to its warm and inviting atmosphere. All the amenities and accommodations were top-notch. The room was spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We especially appreciated the little touches that made it feel extra special. The highlight, though, was the homemade breakfast. Made from scratch, it was absolutely delicious—fresh, hearty, and clearly made with love. It was the perfect start to our day and truly set this B&B apart. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Ryan and Sarah were so nice! They made our one night stay feel like we stayed at a friend's home. Their Bed and Breakfast was so quaint and charming. Our room was very comfortable with the jacuzzi bath. The breakfast was delicious. You get to choose what you prefer either an omelette, pancakes, waffles, or any egg style. It was so nice to wake up to a great breakfast. My wife and I were so impressed with everything they did, we highly recommend staying here if you are in the area of Fitchburg.
