Comfortable property with attentive but unobtrusive manager.

Comfortable and well equipped property. Nice touches on arrival with chocolates and flowers. Kitchen had all things needed and quite a few bits and bobs that otherwise you might find yourself having to buy during a stay. Quiet street, walkable to town centre shops and restaurants in Northampton. Northampton is an interesting if a little quirky mixture , it made for a good base to explore the area. I’d suggest the town needs to do something re it’s homeless / beggars -as it seems to be a bit of a magnet given its liberal image - but that’s no doubt just an unfortunate illustration of wider social problems.

Wonderful peaceful home from home

This was our first visit to New England, timed to see the famous autumn colours. At home in the UK we live in the countryside, and don't like towns very much! The Clearing was perfect for us - wonderfully peaceful and isolated yet within easy driving of some of the region's wonderful sites. Nothing was more than an hour away. Going west on the Mohawk Trail the colours just got better and better, and we enjoyed diving off on to even smaller quiet roads. We walked some forest trails, and took John's advice to visit Mount Graylock on our last day ( nice and quiet on a Friday - don't do it at the weekend unless you want to spend time waiting in traffic to get a parking space!). The accommodation is lovely, a real home from home. It's really well designed, and everything works. John has obviously given a lot of thought to the needs of his guests. We were blessed with wonderful warm sunny days, but chilly evenings meant we could feel justified in lighting the log fire and feeling really cosy! A great place to stay, thank you John and Joyce.
