Staveleigh House Bed and Breakfast

We needed a weekend away and had a beautiful stay at the Staveleigh House. This is a terrific bed and breakfast in a great region with so much to see and do. Located on the main road in Sheffield, you can easily drive a short distance to Great Barrington and Stockbridge where you can find a great choice of restaurants. We have stayed at many B & Bs and Inns over the years, and Chris and Mike are exceptional hosts. They take a great deal of pride in what they do, and they execute flawlessly. We were in Room 1 which is spacious and comfortable with a private bath. Every detail is thought through in a meticulous way. Breakfast is served between 8 and 10 am and the two meals we enjoyed were wonderful. Delicious coffee, juice and fruit followed by one of Chris' creative main courses: we had a delicious homemade quiche one morning and a scrambled eggs and goat cheese dish served atop the local sourdough bread on Sunday. Both excellent. And, by the way, really good coffee and an incredible selection of tea. Great way to start the day. They serve the bread from the local bakery (Berkshire Mountain Bakery). Good stuff: we came home with two Berkshire loaves purchased at the Great Barrington farmers market. The Staveleigh has been there since 1820 and Mike will be happy to tell you the complete history. He and Chris became custodians of this hospitality legacy seven years ago (after serious careers elsewhere) and they certainly seem to love what they do. Mike was very helpful in recommending local restaurants, hikes, shopping and sightseeing. I must point out that they are absolutely COVID compliant. Masks, gloves, contactless check-in and check-out, but somehow they do not lose the personal touch in the process. You feel like you are staying with good friends, albeit at an acceptable social distance. Highly recommend. Next time we are in the Berkshires, we will return without hesitation.
