8/10 Very good

Beautiful building and felt like an authentic b & b experience. The room was lovely although no TV …not a dealbreaker for us but I think should perhaps be mentioned or called out in the property description. (There is a tv in the common area though). We didn’t ask about the pool but it’s not on the property…just something “nearby” (not visible so not sure where it actually was) and realistically is probably enough of a hassle to put you off using it. The shower in our room was extremely small and very low pressure, again not a dealbreaker and to be expected in an older home. The host was a friend of the owner who was away for the weekend and she was lovely and friendly. However, for the price ($400 USD including tax), I think I was expecting a bit more from the room and inn features iso gave a rating of four stars vs five due to vale for the money.

No lock and road noise

This is a lovely old house with a very consciencious inn keeper (Karen). Our room was nice enough, and the breakfast was excellent. We did have some issues that we think other potential guests may want to know about. In the Renaissance room: 1. Our door had no lock. An offer was made to go get a latch to install for us, but we politely declined. We'd recommend doing that for future guests. We put a chair in front of the door. 2.We couldn't find a way to control the heat other than opening a window. Then it got cold....3.Due to being an old house, insulation must be poor, and our room faced a fairly busy street -road noise kept both of us awake much of the night. 4. Door to shower room wouldn't close properly so sleeping husband could hear me in the shower & ventilation fan. 5. Lighting in room, especially bathroom poor. 6. No TV. There were some very nice aspects to this property, but for the price we paid, we expected much better.

The Owner was very accommodating with our late arrival. Back Inn Time is one of if not the best B&B’s I have visited. Quaint spacious old building & the Breakfast was very tasty.

The Innkeeper (Karen Marie) makes you feel right at home in seconds. Time indeed slows down at the Back Inn Time B&B in a very cosy and comfortable atmosphere. We very much enjoyed our stay and we will be back !

I had never stayed at a Bed at a Bed and Breakfast before and was amazed at how nice it was. Everything was great!!! The attention to cleanliness and detail to all the rooms and the old authentic furniture in this Victorian setting was wonderful!! Ron and Karen Marie and the entire staff made this a good memorable experience for me. I will return.

The inn is gorgeous -- well kept and tastefully decorated. The owners are gracious, and the breakfasts were fabulous. St. Albans is a fun town.

Comfortable Stay

I had only stayed overnight but it was a good place to stay. I arrived late due to only one train per day. It was a short walk from the train station. Being a small town, restaurants closed early. After being on the train for 11 hours, I really enjoyed a good sleep at this place. It was quiet. Breakfast was plentiful, however, I settled on toast and orange juice. They had served Greek omelets that morning and a choice of drink (acai, cider, and OJ). I had only wished that it hadn't rained because I wanted to sit out on the back porch. The view from the kitchen was great.

Not so good stay at Shabby Times

I picked Back Inn Time with a vision of grand old house managed by a dignified semi-retired couple and full of courtesy and little charming curiosities that historic B&Bs often offer. For $345 a night, despite not being on the beach and 45 min drive from the closest center of action (Burlington), I was excited. Well, I was disappointed. The place have seen much better days, perhaps 20 years ago. It is shabby, old as opposite to vintage. Bed was awful and squeaky. Rugs were faded and felt dusty. Dining room has a plastic ceiling made in the shape of old copper. The only pleasant part of the house is it deck and back yard - beautiful and tranquil - but in rural Vermont this is rather a commodity. The inn keepers were super pleasant too… except they were NOT inn keepers but temp subs. While pleasant, they couldn’t answer basic questions (like, “where is the beach” kind). After a couple of days or so I wanted to move on, despite booking 6 nights. The owner (real one) first agreed to reimburse me for 3 nights. I thanked and left… but then she changed her mind and only reimbursed me for one night, citing complexities with Expedia and other unreal excuses. So we were done with dignified appearances too. In all, a sad experience.

What a charming and welcoming place to stay! Everyone was extremely calm and courteous, even the other guests who clearly enjoyed themselves just like me. The breakfast really is gourmet and exquisite! This time I was traveling for business, but I’d love to stay here again for pleasure. :)

I have to say I never expected driving to Vermont would be so pleasant Thanks to Karen at back in time bed-and-breakfast.I came out here to spend the night to renew my passport but never imagined the Hospitality I was in store for and I’ve traveled all around the world so I know good hospitality when I see it.Never thought I’d be out to Vermont a second time but after a stay here definitely might have to come back.Cooks a good home-cooked breakfast that was just Delicious. I felt right at home.:)
