Auberge Knowlton

Our initial response to the inn was that it was quirky & a bit rundown. It is an old building after all. There are adequate furnishings and fixtures in the room. There is a fridge & coffee maker in the hallway for group use. However what ruined our stay were the bedbugs that were in the bed & daybed. We were bitten and are now worried about bringing the bedbugs into our home via our luggage. I do not recommend this inn.

We chose this auberge for the location which was quaint and beautiful. Firstly, we arrived 30 minutes before the room was ready, walked up the multiple stair cases with our suitcases and no one was in reception. Finally someone came, and we were not allowed to leave our suitcases with them for those 30 minutes. The manager did not bother to show us where the room was (please note that this is an old building with multiple levels and stairs and a restaurant) We then had to bring back down the suitcases again to the car. We then went to our event, and coming back at around 11pm. Not knowing where the room was, only the general directly, we brought back the suitcases up stairs. No doors were labeled at all, so we took the door we assumed was correct and ended up being locked in a fire escape unable to get out. We then proceeded to pound on what we thought was the restaurant door because it was impossible to go back down the stairs due to all the beer cases and barrels blocking the exit. Someone who was closing up the restaurant heard us and let us out and guided us to our room. We were very fortunately not to have been trapped in an area that was meant to be an emergency escape. The next morning at 9am there was no one at the reception to assist us. We wrote to the auberge multiple times with no response about our incident. The staff member was entirely unhelpful.

A lovely place right in the center of a small historic town. Built in the middle of the 19c this place has appropriately squeaky floors, but is immaculately clean, comfortable and is not *******! It is spartan but comfortable with a good resto downstairs and every amazing antique store feet away. Comfy beds, great linens and towels. Say hi to doggo Charlie who loves a petting.

Cute, quiet, air conditioned rooms. The bathroom needs updating. Avoid room #5, the room next to the coffee maker. Housekeeper is a hard working gem! History infuses this hotel. Great location near The Buzz and Lac Brome Books, both wonderful!

Although perfectly located in the township of Knowlton for Louise Penny fans, I would not recommend staying here if helpful and friendly owners are important to you. In a small establishment as is this one, guests would expect that owners be available for helpful and friendly information regarding the area. These owners were rarely seen and not the least interested or helpful. Instead we relied on their friendly and warm maintenance staff to provide needed assistance.

Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights (check-in Feb 9th - check-out February 12th, 2023). We booked 2 rooms and had room 6 and room 2. The hotel is a heritage building and is quaint. The staff members are very friendly but not on site 24 hours a day. The shower in room 6 did not work and was not fixed during our stay. We were given a free breakfast for the inconvenience. This was a nice offer but not adequate for having a room for three days without a shower. When we  told  the staff about the issue they said usually you can get it work.  The same room did not have hot water Saturday night.  On the second floor you can hear the front door of the hotel on the first floor open and slam shut. It’s loud enough to wake you up during the night. You can hear noise from the rooms close-by - foot steps, the shower/bath go on and off,  music and the conversations from the adjacent rooms. This noise made it hard to watch tv and sleep.  Overall not a great experience at the hotel.

We stayed here for a weekend getaway and it did not disappoint. Great food, great atmosphere and a prime location. We took advantage of the ski hills this time but would love to come back in the summer and see the many vineyards close by.

Great location near many ski trails. The room had lots of space, super clean and overlooked the park across the street. Extra blankets and pillows were in the room to use. The restaurant had a breakfast special with local duck which was delicious. Also highly recommend the salmon for dinner. Staff were very fast and good with orders for a bigger group.

We had an amazing ski weekend hosted at the Auberge. The staff was so kind, friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed the food and care they put into making our weekend an enjoyable event. Thank you so much. We look forward to booking future group trips at this location.
