Media and News Room

Welcome to South Shire, a Little Hotel Inn, the perfect destination for travelers seeking a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Offering discerning guests stylishly appointed accommodations in a picturesque rural New England setting, this stately Queen Anne Victorian mansion, dating back to 1887, provides an elegant yet unpretentious retreat. Each room is tastefully decorated with period antiques, many featuring working fireplaces and canopy or four-poster beds. After a day of exploring southern Vermont, guests can relax by the grand fireplace in the rich mahogany-paneled parlor library. The charming vermont village of Bennington, with its array of shops and restaurants along Main Street, is just a short stroll away.
