Great place, especially the fireplace
Came here for an overnight and to try and re-energize. We had our doubts going in that one night would be enough, but Gedney Farms was amazing. We’d definitely recommend a fireplace as it really helped leave the world behind for a night. The staff was nice and the property is large and great for taking dogs for a walk. We’d definitely come back

Gedney Farm is a bucolic setting near Great Barrington where the guest rooms are in a former dairy barn. Sounds rustic, but it is cool - cozy rooms with Shaker vibe and clean modern bathrooms. We stayed early week when the restaurant was closed so was very quiet. Enjoyed a morning walk across the fields viewing and hearing songbirds. Would make a great wedding venue. Served a hearty continental breakfast with muffins and pastry, yogurt, fruit, etc. There was a problem with our Expedia reservation (wrong day) but host was very accommodating, which we appreciated. Only negative is poor cellphone reception, which might be a blessing.

Gedney Farm is a lovely spot — the gardens that surround the farm are gorgeous. You can sit outside and be surrounded by hummingbirds, fireflies, flowers and fields. The rooms are in a converted barn and were quite comfortable. The continental breakfast was the best one I’ve encountered in the US, I have to say. Overall we really enjoyed staying there.

Beautiful place
Very comfortable space, beautiful grounds. Excellent service at dinner and food was fine. We had a room with a jacuzzi tub and a skylight that looked into the long beamed roof of the barn - very nice - but I could have used a shower curtain to prevent water from making the bathroom wet. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back soon.

Enough off the beaten path to truly relax and untether. No TV and no cell service afforded us the luxury of reading, talking, and enjoying the whirlpool tub. The bathroom was a bit outdated but super clean. The breakfast spread was tasty and generous. I’d love to go back and eat dinner there on-site!

Not your big box hotel - so cozy and unique. A little more out of the way but some nice dining options nearby and the town just a bit of a drive. Real comfy king sized bed and super quiet on a Sunday night (no weddings that afternoon) Unfortunately it was a cool and windy afternoon so we couldn't hang in the beautiful yard area - next time!

Hi Lynn, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Gedney Farm; we appreciate your feedback, particularly when it is constructive. I am sorry you did not feel the room was "as promised". I wish you had made mention of that when you were staying with us. I was there to check you in when you first arrived, and saw you the next morning at breakfast. We certainly had other rooms available, and perhaps, had we know, we could have switched you to a different room that was more to your liking. You arrived on a Tuesday which is a night when our restaurant is closed. We were hosting a special wine dinner event on Wednesday, which I explained to you when you inquired. At the time you did not express an interest in attending so I did not understand that you were interest in coming. Seating at these dinner is always very limited, and the dinner had been sold out for some time. I would be happy to have you come to Gedney Farm for a complimentary "Dinner for Two" if you come back to the Berkshires. Please contact me directly if this is something you would like to do.

What a beautiful spot! Great room in the renovated barn with nice bathtub under a glass ceiling that allowed views of the barn ceiling. The restaurant on the lawn and under the trees was fantastic, excellent food and beautiful surrounding of fields and woods. Breakfast started only at 8am, which was a bit late for me, but you just have to know that. The location is great, not far from Great Barrington.

It was generally great, but they need to do something about the bugs in the room. I know we’re out in the sticks, so it is to be expected. But we had all varieties of bug from mosquito to grasshopper looking things introducing themselves. They were very polite however and let us sleep in peace. I really liked the look of the room, the rustic wall paint and wooden beams and there was no TV in our room which was a great relief

Hi Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Gedney Farm. We appreciate very much your constructive and balanced comments. Since the cows and the bugs were living in the barn long before we came, there are inevitably days and times when a sort of "forced cohabitation" prevails....especially after a spell of sunny then rainy days....I am glad the situation in general was not too disturbing.

Beautiful and peaceful location and lovely rooms (nice and warm despite freezing outdoor temperatures). The renovated bathroom was so pleasant!! The coffee was burnt (not drinkable) and the bread stale at breakfast, but otherwise every part of our stay was lovely! I wish there was more of a welcome guide to nearby food and activities (and good coffee!!) but otherwise it fulfilled our needs :)

Hi Hannah, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Gedney Farm. I am glad you enjoyed your stay, but I am sorry you were disappointed with the breakfast. Our coffee comes from a few small artisanal roasters, and is brewed directly in to hot air pots, so that the coffee does not get burned. We do use a few different blends and some of these are a heavy dark roast which can have a "burnt" taste or character that may be unappealing. Our breads are also sourced from a couple of local artisanal bakers, but the loaves we serve for breakfast are not fresh loaves. Rather we do hand slice the loaves and set them out to be enjoyed freshly toasted. We appreciate your feed back and hope that you will come back again to stay with us when you are next in the Berkshires.
