Testimonials
"I am picky but would highly recommend the Starbuck Inn. The inn looks very recently renovated and is spotlessly clean. The inn is down the street from the restaurants and stores of Kent and Peter Starbuck is both helpful and unobtrusive. We are going back next year!!!!!!!!!!" S.W., New York, NY

Visitors coming back to Kent this summer will notice a new place to stay on Main Street, just north of all the shops and restaurants. Formerly the Chaucer House, the Starbuck Inn opened on Memorial Day with newly renovated space and a bit more to come. The owners, the Starbuck family are excited to provide another unique place to stay in town.
"What this business really boils down to is providing a good bed and a good breakfast, and we don't compromise on either one," Mr. Starbuck said, simplifying the new venture.
The Starbucks bring a host of talent to bed and breakfast hospitality.
"It's all about comfort and hospitality. The English have a great term called 'running a house,' whether it's your own or something like this. You are running a house and you extend the same hospitality to (travelers) that you would in your own home."
Guests expecting a continental breakfast will be disappointed. "We do an enormous breakfast and it's different every day."
Local farm fresh eggs with chives from the garden, homemade home fries with bacon and sausage, pancakes, pastries and yogurt and fruit parfaits might be on the menu on any given morning.
Borrowing from English bed and breakfast tradition, high tea is served from 4 pm in the afternoon. Legend has it that the Duchess of Bedford (1788-1861) complained of lack of energy in the afternoons and instituted a "high tea" featuring light fare such as crumpets, scones, crustless sandwiches and pates to keep her going until dinner.
The emphasis was on conversation and presentation, a tradition Ms. Wolfe will continue with her array of cookies, breads, pastries, and whatever is appropriate for the guests, the time of year, and even the weather.
