THE INKEEPER

Originally from England, Viki Carter moved to the US eight years ago with her husband, Andy and youngest son, Tim. They lived in Acton, about 2 miles from Amerscot House, before moving to Connecticut in 2004. Andy’s recent appointment as CTO of a Massachusetts-based company enabled the family to return to the area and fulfill the next part of their dream – to run a country inn!

They met with Doreen Gibson, who had run Amerscot House for the previous 18 years, and, in April 2008, bought her beautiful property. Doreen is now taking a well-earned retirement, but remains in Stow and is on-hand to help Viki in her new venture.

Viki comes from a family of innkeepers. Her mother, ran a bed & breakfast in Dorset, England for many years and her sister has an award-winning country hotel in Cornwall – www.woodlands-padstow.co.uk Viki is looking forward to receiving guests in a newly refurbished Amerscot House, where the charm of the old house is undiminished by the addition of modern amenities and where a warm welcome awaits.
