About

The Shoreham Inn sits right in the village center of Shoreham, VT, a rural community on the west edge of the state near Lake Champlain. It has been open as a bed and breakfast since the ‘70’s, and has had many write-ups in travel books, magazines, and newspapers.

The whole town of Shoreham (including The Shoreham Inn) is featured on Chronicles "Main Streets and Backroads of New England" program (November 2015)

The Shoreham Inn in the Boston Globe:

" ...the Shoreham is a favorite spot of bikers. Plop down in one of the Adirondack chairs with a glass of locally made Switchback Ale on tap and you immediately understand the attraction after a day of biking...." Boston Globe June 2, 2013

The Shoreham Inn in the New York Times:

"Smoke wafted from the chimney, and two benches in front sat empty. I opened the red front door and to my surprise, about a dozen people were inside, waiting for dinner and sipping wine. The warm smell of comfort food wafted from the restaurant. The inn was exactly what I had imagined: creaky wooden floors, wood-beamed ceilings and a living room with cozy couches and a piano." New York Times October 18, 2009

The Shoreham Inn in The Wall Street Journal:

"The Shoreham Inn has an excellent restaurant. The menu changes frequently, but has included top-notch burgers, whole baked fish and an array of interesting desserts such as Banoffi pie, a banana, cream and toffee concoction" Wall Street Journal July 16, 2009


The House

The Inn over 220 years old. It is a true country inn that maintains its aged charm of creaky, uneven floors and steep staircases. There is a main sitting room on the first floor as well as a pub, which offers a full bar and light snack to in-house guests.

 

All of the rooms in the main house are located on the second and third floors. The rooms are quaint, yet comfortable, and each is uniquely decorated with its own private en suite bathroom, as well as individual air-conditioning units during warmer months. While there are no televisions in the inn, there is free wi-fi throughout the house.  There are also plenty of games, puzzles, books and magazines that can be enjoyed in the main sitting room, sitting by the fireplace during the winter, or outside on the deck in the summer.

 

The Shoreham Inn is a member of the Vermont Green Business Program. As a Green Hotel, we offer eco-friendly amenities, and employ practices that are more sustainable for the environment.

 

The Inn is a non-smoking/vaping establishment.

Dining

Breakfast is served in the pub from 7:30-9:00am. Coffee and tea are available starting at 7:00am. You are welcome to get an eye-opening mug to take back to your room if you’re an early riser, or enjoy in our public sitting areas or out on the deck.

 

Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements. While we always do our best to accommodate all special needs, please be aware that our kitchen is small and we cannot guarantee against cross-contamination.

 

If you are visiting friends or family and would like to have them join you for breakfast, please let us know the night prior. There is a $15 per person charge for each additional breakfast.

 

The pub is currently closed, however guests can bring their own alcohol to the Inn.


We will gladly recommend other dining options in the area.


Pet Policy:

We do not allow pets (dogs, cats, birds, etc) in the inn. We love animals, but we are sensitive to our guests who may have allergies.​

 

Transportation:

For our guests arriving with bicycles, there is a shed attached to the back of the house for you to store your bikes and equipment. Bicycles are not allowed in any of the rooms or Sheep Barn Suites.

Shoreham is a rural farming community. The Inn does not offer transportation services. Currently, there is no Uber or Lyft available in our area.  We recommend that you contact each company regarding transportation availability prior to your arrival. It is our understanding that they are small, privately owned businesses that require travel arrangements to be pre-arranged.
