Well, the leaf change is upon us!   At this point, about 5% of the trees have tuned yellow.   The orange and red are just about to come.   It is wet and cold, which means nature has offered up the requirements for a wholesale transition into Foliage Season in the Berkshires.    The month of October should be spectacular, and we still have rooms left at Hampton Terrace Bed and Breakfast.    Recently, Hampton Terrace was listed by BedandBreakfast.com as one of the top ten places to see Fall Foliage.   And we are also singled out by USA Today last week for our success attracting guests in the current slow economy.     We are up 30% for the year, when the lodging industry is down 30% on average.

One way to fill our rooms is by providing VALUE.   Our mid-week discount brings all rooms in our Main House and our Cottage (11 in all) down from $275/night to $190/night mid-week.   Our king suites drop from $345 to $250.   Full breakfast included, and we are top ranked on Trip Advisor.

Please call us at 800-203-0656 to lock something in before the trees are bare.

After more than 60 years operating as an inn, Hampton Terrace’s guest rooms finally have names.   It is not that they needed names…Main House 4 was pretty descriptive…but we decided that this was an opportunity to help tell the history of the property in a colorful way.

Captain Robert Shaw Oliver of Albany, and his wife Marion, constructed their home on this site in 1873 (replaced in 1896 by the Struthers’ "Wynnstay"). This room overlooks the site of the former "Bel Air" mansion, the home where Mrs. Oliver grew up. Unfortunately, Bel Air was destroyed by fire a century later. She was the niece of the Haggertys, the original owners of Ventfort Hall, which was moved across the street and renamed Bel Air when the Morgans constructed the current Ventfort Hall. Marion was also the daughter of William Rathbone, who constructed the first Wyndhurst mansion, now Cranwell Resort.

Rich, deep and red. This dramatic room is a King, featuring a down comforter and vintage throw pillows. Television/VCR. There is also a CD player with romantic classical CDs. In the bathroom, you will find our largest antique claw-foot tub with shower. Air conditioning, iron and ironing board, hair dryer and bath amenity collection.
