Absolutely beautiful views and grounds, particularly from the pool. The breakfast was excellent, and the food at the restaurant was great. Every room was spotless and and well decorated. We enjoyed an evening of music and(great) cocktails from the bar around an outdoor fire- you can't be that. The staff is incredibly hardworking and friendly- whatever they are paid, it is not enough, they are running around doing everything from setting up breakfast to bussing drinks at the bar in the evening. If you are going to Tanglewood, the location cannot be beat. I cant wait to go back!

We traveled with our 1 year old daughter, and while the staff and guests were very sweet and welcoming to her, the hotel is really not designed or intended for small kids. They do not have cribs for the rooms, nor are there high chairs in the restaurant, even for breakfast. We made it work, but I think it would be a tough place to stay with kids 2-4 in particular, and the restaurant's (wonderful) menu is not really suited for kid dining. And while this is not the fault of the hotel at all, we learned the hard way it is very hard to get around the area without a car. If you are taking the train in, definitely make arrangements in advance for transportation. The hotel has a list of local drivers that allowed us to arrange transportation once we got there.

We loved the Apple Tree Inn. The pool is spectacular because it's heated and away from main buildings and it overlooks the Berkshires. The Inn is so close to Tanglewood, that we could hear the Boston Symphony Orchestra rehearsing while lounging poolside and we had the pool to ourselves to boot. The other thing we especially loved was the breakfast. It's a real, European style breakfast with wonderful coissants, granola and fruit. There was also meat and cheese. Also, the first morning, there was a pot of coffee which was especially good and all of it was enjoyed on a lovely porch by the lawn and fruit trees.

The facility is cozy and inviting but it was hard to find staff at check-in. Not a big deal for us because the Inn more than makes up for it with wonderful amenities and atmosphere, but having some clear directions on how to get help near the key return and maybe having people wear a uniform top or name tag so that the staff doesn't blend in with the guests would be a bit better.

We loved how magnificent the landscape and surrounding areas were ! the area is! Everything is so manicured yet rustic at the same time ! The pool , the main mansion area , with its lovely old mansion living room with multiple seating for couples or families, both indoors and outdoors ! Breakfast was buffet style and very convenient ! I love the staff that was making due with so many people for the concert ! James was super accommodating ! Parking and walking path to Tanglewood priceless ! I wish I can go back at the end of August

Mmm the property has seen better days ! We got the rooms off the mansion and they were clean and spacious ! I love historical character and anything antique but I realize some parts need a bit upgrade - I put my money in changing the carpet on the building close to the pool Of the main building I would put a bit of revamping and wood repair/painting specially on the outer structure of the mansion entrance and outdoor breakfast area only ! You can’t see it unless you look ! The place is lovely

Great location between Tanglewood and Kripalu, just outside Lenox. The hosts were delightful, the accommodations charming, and the food at the restaurant was fantastic with really high-quality live music. We had a great weekend there.

There is some deferred maintenance at the property, but nothing that made our stay uncomfortable. Just little things that if upgraded could make a better overall impression. our room was over the main living room area, which is sort of close to where the band plays at night in the restaurant. We were tired from the day, so we decided not to go to the performance, but we could hear the band quite loudly in our room. It wasn’t a big problem for us problem since we were staying up late anyway, but if you like quiet before 11 PM, you may want to stay in one of the outer buildings if bands are on the schedule.

All staff were very friendly. The room was very clean. We had a room with a fireplace. It was a nice touch to be able to have a fire at night in our room. Breakfast was good with an assortment of meat, cheese, fruit, yogurt, and bread. The dinner in the Ostrich room was exceptional. Overall, it was a very cozy, romantic, relaxing getaway.

Obviously, the inn it's self is dated. Though that was part of the charm. No tv's. Again, part of the charm, but if you want that, bring your laptop. The only thing was it was a bit loud late at night around closing time at the bar. But it didn't totally ruin our time.

Loved the main house, the decor, the comfortable places to sit alone or together with friends. Dinner was exceptionally good, continental breakfast had many choices. We had tickets to the Colonial Theater, but the weather was treacherous and one of the staff gave us a number to call for transport. Unfortunately, he was not able to accomodate us, but appreciate the offer. Nice to know there was entertainment at the Inn that night.

Our car had to make 4 attempts to get up the hill. It had been snowing and it was very slippery. Took awhile before the path was adequately plowed and sanded. Did not know that we would not be in the main house when we booked the stay. It was difficult for us going back and forth up the second hill to the annex houses as we are all senior citizens. Would just recommend finding out where your room is located before your book. Also, we asked staff 3 times for soap and cups that were missing from our room, but never received them.

We were greeted by James who was welcoming and extremely helpful. The grounds are beautiful and there is a path that leads right to the overflow parking lot of Tanglewood, our destination for the evening. Bed was big and comfortable. Beautiful and clean pool area.

The room was clean but the area rug had some pretty noticeable stains. There was shampoo and body lotion, but I was surprised there was no hair conditioner. Not a big deal but worth mentioning.

The grounds are beautiful and the plantings are extremely well maintained even in the dog days of summer. The beds were super comfortable with top notch linens.

The breakfast did not in any way match up to the level of the rest of the property. It was very basic and not presented with any particular charm. Minimum improvements would be brewed coffee and better quality bagels, with a bread knife to cut them for toasting (pre split but not all the way through).

Great ambiance and spectacular views and location. Pool is beautiful!

I don’t mind a rustic feeling, but the railing to the lodge had nails sticking out of it, and was broken. It needs to be fixed and painted. That is a safety issue, not just cosmetic. Let people know that there is no phone, TV, microwave, or refrigerator in the room!

My husband and I were lucky enough to book at Apple Tree Inn for Tanglewood’s July 4th celebration with James Taylor. Getting out of the Tanglewood parking lot after concerts is such a nightmare. What a treat to be able to walk there and back from the inn. Room was cute, bed super comfortable, soft sheets and powerful a/c. Breakfast of meats, cheeses, bagels/croissants , lox’s and cereal was appreciated before we hit the road. We will definitely be back for a longer stay.
