Inn at Kenmore Hall, Richmond, MA., June 2024

front – 1385 State Road, Richmond, MA 01254

The Inn at Kenmore Hall is a luxurious inn dating from 1792 in the wonderful landscape of the Berkshire Hills.  Lovingly restored by owners Frank Muytjens and Scott Edward Cole it is a fabulous place to stay in this area filled with pieces of history.  Normally this is a blog for restaurants but I include this inn as with your stay you get to enjoy a fantastic breakfast each morning you’re there.  There is a handsome dining room but what we really loved was the screened porch which looks out onto the lush grounds and garden with the birds chirping while we were pampered with fabulous freshly made food.  There was a daily menu with several choices and we got to try a number of things along with fresh juice and coffee.  The only way you get to try these options is to stay there.  I know it’s a little stretch from the usual restaurant posts but sometimes I am privileged to find a little hidden gem and I wanted to share that with my readers.  I’m including some photos of the rooms in this stunningly restored historic home and a few images from our breakfasts.  Check out their website, <https://www.theinnatkenmorehall.com&gt; and you might want to include it in your vacation plans.

All our breakfasts started with a freshly made apple cider donut that is a sugar coated cake donut with wonderful texture and sweetness.  We both selected the Challah French Toast with butter and local maple syrup.  We also requested to add in some bacon, some of which got eaten before I got to photograph.  The French toast was moist with great texture and there was plenty of butter and great syrup to sweeten it even further.  Yummy.

After our donut we both had the tomato, brie, and fresh herb omelet served with mixed greens.  The omelet was perfect – with wonderful folds of moist egg around cheese and vegetables.  Not overly stuffed it struck a great balance.  The salad was lightly dressed and perfect as an accompaniment.

The last day we both chose the omelet again.  Today it was filled with Black Forest ham and Gruyere cheese and served with the same mixed green salad.  This may have been my favorite, a classic combination.  So well done, it was delicious.
