Garden Terrace independent inns

Set back on Pleasant Street in the heart of Woodstock, this Victorian-era B&B trades in old-world warmth — high-ceilinged rooms, a garden terrace for slow mornings, and an on-site bar that pours wine and cocktails after dark. Live music turns the ground floor into something closer to a village gathering place than a hotel lobby, and the restaurant keeps guests from having to wander far. At 4.8 stars across 202 reviews, it's the kind of small inn people return to by name.
