Norwich Town Forest

We will definitely return to the Hideaway! We got a text before arrival with our room number and code which was very convenient. The hotel is warm and cozy and beautifully decorated. There is neat stuff to look at everywhere. The 3 floors of common spaces were really cool with a lot to offer, like a water bottle filler and coffee maker. It could use to be cleaned a little more often. When we arrived, the playroom had toys all over the floor and there were sticky drink marks on the bar and crumbs on the coffee table. Someone had crushed the chalk under the dart board and all but 1 of the darts was broken. Regardless, we had a blast playing classic Mario on the arcade game. The living room upstairs was gorgeous, next time we will be sure to use that to play games and maybe watch a movie. We didn’t use the pool because it looked green (we opted to go to the lake instead) but we did make a fire and made s’mores down at one of the fire pits on our second night which was so nice to have. The closet in the hallway to grab towels and such is super convenient and the manager was only a text away if you needed anything. Our room was beautiful and so big. We loved the balcony and the record player in the room was a cool touch my boys had fun listening to. This is a very quiet property with a lot to keep families occupied or just relax and enjoy nature. We had a wonderful stay and when we met the manager she was so sweet! We absolutely loved it and will return for future VT trips.

Booked this hotel based on the website photos, but the room was nothing like what we got. It had a persistent musty smell, made worse if we turned off the wobbly pedestal fan that was the only thing airing it out. It was also dusty throughout, the bathroom sink dripped all night because it wouldn’t fully shut off, and the window panes were broken. We also found dead bugs and spiderwebs around the room. Ended up checking out a day early, which wasn’t the plan. Parking is also a hassle. Only 12(ish) spots on-site, first come first served, in a very tight lot. If those are full, you’re stuck paying hourly at an overflow lot. Staff at check-in and around the property were genuinely nice, so that’s worth noting. But the room condition didn’t match what was advertised at all. Would not book again based on this experience.

Staff was very helpful, the property is very clean, the room was clean with lots of space. The kitchen had a full size refrigerator and microwave. I was very happy overall
