in the Connecticut River Valley, the Garden of Delights Bed
and Breakfast is located in Hadley and a mere hop and a skip
from Northampton, Amherst, South Hadley, Easthampton, and
Deerfield. Its past is intriguing. With the fine
riverbed soil, Hadley was settled by farmers, and this house
was built for those who cultivated and profited from some of
the most fertile land in the country. The two large barns on
the farm were used for tobacco and onions. The original
farmhouse is now our lovely bed and breakfast. For many years
it was the home of a large family of seven children who helped
farm vegetables, fruits, and flowers in the summer and during
the long winter months painted. A large mural remains in the
dining room and many paintings of these artists adorn the
walls of the bed and breakfast.
 During
the summer months the Garden of Delights is also a pesticide
free farm with an active farm stand. The beds of flowers are
picked daily for bouquets and are open to "pick your own
flowers" during part of the summer. A large variety of unique
vegetables are grown here and local corn and berries are sold
at the farm stand as well.
The old house
itself is a charming 19th century farmhouse. Guests enjoy the
privacy of their own quarters with a separate entrance,
beautifully furnished dining room and parlor just for them,
private bathroom, one large bedroom (queen) and a smaller one
(twin beds and or pack and play crib) for children, family
members, or friends. This Bed and Breakfast is extremely
comfortable for a couple or a family. Continental breakfasts
are self serve and will include your choice of cold cereals,
pastries, toast, yogurt, juice, coffee, or tea. We will have
local fruits in season.
There is a computer connection, AC, cable TV and a phone.
Your pets will be happier at home. We are also a smoke free
