诺尔顿旅店

Lovely, quiet place. No luxurious but comfortable. In the heart of Knowlton with shops and restaurants close by and a fabulous bookstore. The only downside for some travelers is the absence of an elevator as the hotel is on the 2nd floor, 1st floor if floor designated in the continental manner, so a flight of stairs.

Room clean, bathroom clean. Atmosphere was fantastic. Love the common room and having coffee with others who are staying.

Recognize this is a very old facility, which absolutely contributes to its charm. The bed was good, I meant to suggest to management (but did not see anyone our departure day) that their tub should have a grab bar for getting in and out as bath mats on tile are slippery. But as an “elder” I take precautions. We were there for the Three Pines “ Louise Penny visit - to see the environs for her stories, imagine the Inspector and his crew settling by the fire at the book store cafe, and so forth. We enjoyed walking downstairs and having our dinner, talking with the staff and lingering in the cozy room. I’d like to suggest a lighting redesign for the fans in the dining room (too bright) but I’m just too detail oriented for my own good.
