This charming bed and breakfast is a real find. The innkeeper Marja is very warm and friendly. The house and grounds are beautiful. The town of Great Barrington is fun to explore. We'll definitely come back here.

“This centrally located inn was built in 1766 on the Boston-to-Albany stagecoach route. Greatly expanded and tastefully modernized over the years, the Wainwright is now presided over by one of the friendliest innkeepers in the business. Several of its rooms have fireplaces, as do the parlors, where guests congregate…”

We've stayed here twice and enjoyed it both times. The rooms are charming and very clean. Location is ideal for us -- on Rt 7, which is the main street in Great Barrington, and a 5 minute walk to the center of town. The innkeepers couldn't be nicer or more considerate. They serve a delicious, fixed menu for breakfast but are happy to accommodate any special dietary needs you might have. The oatmeal is great. Highly recommeded.

Thank you for making everything so easy,comfortable and welcoming, and your kind words after the concert.

“My husband and I recently stayed at the Wainwright Inn. Our stay was very pleasant. The entire Inn is immaculate and the food was delicious. We are happy to recommend such a lovely place.”

What a perfect spot for our Valentine Day get away !! The house is so romantic, the service delightful and the breakfast unbelievable.

Thank you for all your kindness, everything was perfect!

“We (a couple and 10 year old) stayed for two nights The Inn itself is beautiful – the historic details and feel is authentic and we felt very much at home. The breakfast by Barb was amazing – beautifully presented in the sunny welcoming dining area and delicious. The extra touches made a big difference. Chris was also very warm and accommodating – we had interesting discussions at breakfast and before going out to dinner and know that because they are well-traveled they know what is important to guests. The rooms are comfortable, clean and welcoming. We will be recommending the Wainwright Inn to all of our friends and family and are looking forward to coming back to see Chris & Barb.”

“I cannot say enough nice things about this Inn. My husband and I just spent New Year’s weekend there and enjoyed every moment of our stay. The innkeeper, Marja, was so incredibly helpful and hospitable. The room, the breakfast, the decor, its location… everything was perfect. We’ll be back! They even! have an upside down Christmas Tree!"

“There is nothing not to like about the Wainwright Inn. The inn itself is charming old house with spacious yet cozy rooms on three floors. Several have fireplaces, and all have comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. All of us, from ages 7 to 80 were equally delighted! “

“This is a oasis of peace and inspiration.I am amazed at the love and care you have put in to making me so very welcome and comfortable. The breakfasts are spectacular!!!!! ”

“…breakfast each morning was delicious, a new creation each morning, beautifully presented in a charming dining area"

Chris and Barb continue to improve both the fabric of the Wainwright Inn and their guests' experience. This is our 7th visit and each is better than the last. Rooms are comfortable and cosy with effective air conditioning . The sitting room provides a relaxing area to enjoy an evening cup of tea and glass of port or sherry plus one of Barb's excellent home made cookies.Breakfast is tasty,plentiful and served with a smile. Do stay there if you are in the area.

“For the last three years we have enjoyed a week long summer vacation, mostly due to the pleasant atmosphere at this charming Bed & Breakfast. Close to the center of Great Barrington, and a short driving distance to the other great Berkshire attractions – Tanglewood, Shakespeare and Company, the Berkshire Theater Festive, and Jacob’s Pillow – the Wainwright offers that great combination of convenience and seclusion. But the best reason to stay at the Wainwright is the Innkeeper and her staff”
