Welcome

Fruitini "Best Breakfast in New England"
Our guests have voted Birchwood Inn "Best Breakfast in New England", and we continually strive to meet and exceed your expectations.

We use only the freshest ingredients in our homemade breads and muffins, fruits and entrées, and take special pride in preparing and serving our full country breakfast each morning.

Breakfast is served in our 19th century dining room - fireside or overlooking the front garden - generally between 9:00 a.m. (a bit earlier in the summer) and 10:00 a.m. Freshly brewed coffee and hot water for tea are available in the dining room from 7:45 a.m.

quote When you sit down at your table for two, we're right there with our piping hot specially blended coffee. If you choose from one of our varied selection of teas, we're happy to make you a fresh pot. And you'll soon discover that our orange juice is freshly squeezed.

Layered Egg Please help yourself to the inn-made tea breads and breads for toasting, yogurts, and cereals. Enjoy the daily fruit dish as your first course, and when you're ready, we'll present you with the hot entrée of the day.

If you let us know when making your reservation, we do try to accommodate dietary restrictions. Bon appetite!

And if you are inspired to create some of our breakfast items at home, you'll enjoy having a copy of our cookbook "Breakfast at Birchwood."

AFTERNOON TEA

Tea

quote After a day of sightseeing and antiquing, concerts and plays, museums and historic homes, or hiking and skiing, put your feet up, relax and refresh with afternoon tea and freshly baked pastries – fireside in cool seasons and porch-side in warmer ones.

Our mulled local cider takes the chill out of winter while our freshly brewed iced tea refreshes you in summer. Our teatime treat of the day depends on our muse. Chocolate chip cookies, hot out of the oven. Decadent mudslide cookies. Strawberry-rhubarb pie. Aunt Norma's brownies. Prize-winning apple cake. Pear upside-down gingerbread. Berry cobbler. Chocolate fallen soufflé cake.

Don't want to spoil your appetite for dinner? You will often find these goodies in the Butler's Pantry for your midnight snack.
