My mom and I stayed here as part of our road trip through New England and it was absolutely delightful! The room was so cute, and the breakfast was nice. The grounds are pretty and there is a nice area to relax on the porch. They had a library too. Everything was just so nice. I wish we stayed longer than 1 night. Highly recommend!

Cannot say enough good things about our stay at the Lilac Inn. In addition to all the boxes I checked as highlights, the breakfast was lovely!

Maybe I just don't know how Bed and Breakfasts truly work, since this was my first stay at one. But when we arrived, no one was there, our room key was left on the check-in desk with a note that told us breakfast time and wi-fi code. There was a number to call if we needed something and it said they were just running errands, but we never saw anyone until breakfast the next morning. It turned out every restaurant in town was closed on Mondays, we had to go miles back to the last town, it really would have been nice to have a staff person to ask for recommendations. I thought part of the charm of a B&B is supoosed to be personalized service, but I got more welcome from my $100 a night motel the night before!

Absolutely love the property inside and out! Our room is large, beautiful, and the bed is so comfortable.Exceeded my expectations; wish we were staying more than one night!
We have two "complaints" - the fragrant smell in our room was overpowering & nauseating, and then whatever was being cooked downstairs smelled all the way up to our room on the second floor, and not in a good way unfortunately.

I really liked that my room and property were very clean. Breakfast was great and coffee machine in hall was very convenient. The big downside was the shower. Both days I would immediately loose hot water and freeze, then suddenly get it back and burn myself. Not enjoyable at all. And for $300 a night I do expect to have an enjoyable shower.

The Lilac Inn is a beautiful historic inn. Shelley and Betsy are gracious and accommodating. The breakfast is excellent! Brandon is a very walkable town with everything you need close by. A small town with friendly people.

It was a very nice overall experience with beautiful grounds and a lot of character.
If WiFi is super important to your stay be aware that you may need to use it in the lobby as our room was a distance from the router and was weak on signal strength.

Enjoyed our stay until we got home and both of us found bug bites... Still uncertain what these bug bites are. The property is relatively clean but there is mold on the bathroom ceiling and a deep clean is certainly needed as there were minor stains on the carpet and scuffs on the wall. Breakfast was made-to-order and delicious!

It’s a nice place to stay, with that said, our Television did not work. I messaged right away about the issue. It was getting pretty late by the time someone could look at it so I asked for it to be fixed in the morning. It was still not working when we got back from lunch the next day. I asked the lady at the front desk for help fixing it and she said she would mention it to housecleaning? It happened to be freezing outside( below zero) …so outside activities were out of the question. Our goal was to relax all weekend which included our favorite shows. Unfortunately with the issue not being resolved we left a day early.

Absolutely wonderful and beautiful place to stay. So quiet. So historical and so romantic. Will be coming here again and again.

The inn keeper was actually out on errands when we arrived and had our room key on the counter for us with a sweet little note. Our room was so cute and quaint, everyone from the inn was friendly and the breakfast options were delicious both days. Very quiet place and we'll definitely be back in the spring

The grounds are beautiful with gorgeous flowers and nice walkways. The stroll to downtown was enhanced by a farmers market going on every Friday. The TVs are difficult to figure out with multiple remotes, and no info. in the rooms as to how to use them?!? Overall a great place to stay with a wonderful breakfast and helpful staff. We hope to return again! Thank u!

It was fine for the area. Quaint and laid back. Especially okay for the price. As expected it’s creaky and dated. The only real criticism would be the towels-pretty worn out. But comfy bed.

I guess I am used to smaller B&B when the owner is present at breakfast and greets their guests and is interested in how they plan to spend their day. This was run more like a hotel. You order your breakfast and there was no friendly chatting with other guests. I missed the coziness of getting to know the other guests which is usually started by a friendly owner who is interested in setting a warm atmosphere. That is one major reason I stay at B&B to meet fellow travelers....this was lacking. I think this B&B is more suited for weddings. I thought in the small town in Vermont I would have felt more like a guest than a stranger.

We had a one-night stay at the inn and found it very comfortable, ideally located on a lovely street with walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc. The bed was very comfortable and the accommodations were clean. There were many places to sit either on a porch, in the garden or one of the many common rooms. And, they served the loveliest most delicious breakfast. Good cup of coffee, a fruit platter, cinnamon muffin and then a choice of main. The fruit was an assortment of several types and each was ripe and sweet. A great way to start our long day of sightseeing.

This was our first time at a B&B, so we were very excited!
When we came for breakfast, my wife and I were ignored by the servers. We tried to get their attention but to no avail. We left after 30 minutes and FINALLY spoke to a server who blamed the other server. There were 4 tables and 2 servers….The owner was gracious and apologetic, offering us a discount on more than one occasion. We never got one!
The inn was dusty, but very nice. The town of Brandon was amazing! Looking forward to return, but not at The Lilac Inn.
