The Cornell Inn provides an incredible and wonderful retreat, offering a cozy and quiet escape from reality. Guests describe it as a luxurious yet quaint historic bed and breakfast with a great location within walking distance to town. The rooms are exquisitely designed, cozy, and some feature fireplaces that create a nice atmosphere. A delicious and pretty good breakfast is included with the room, with afternoon treats also available. Amenities offer excellent bang for your buck, including a welcome drink, complimentary bottle of wine, cognac tasting, and access to inviting common areas with fireplaces. The staff receives consistent praise for being extremely friendly, welcoming, accommodating, and personable, providing quick, competent, and kind customer service. They are noted for going out of their way to ensure a beautiful stay. The overall experience is so positive that many guests are already planning their return. A few practical notes for future guests include that the historic building can transmit noise, so light sleepers may prefer an upper floor room. Some rooms face the main road, so those sensitive to noise can inquire about a room toward the back. Also, fireplace use may be seasonal. Despite these minor considerations, the prevailing sentiment is one of not wanting to leave this welcoming and relaxing retreat.
We have been here three years in a row and our experience has been exceptional in every possible way each time. The staff is warm, friendly and inviting. The food is outstanding and the decor and ambiance are great. Excellent location being a short walk to town. A very special place.

The Cornell Inn in Lennox is a must when staying in the Berkshires. Everyone there is amazing and the attention to detail is impeccable.
