Building on our History The Woodfield Manor dates back before 1808. The Inn was an exclusive hunting club and stage stop for wealthy patrons from New York and New Jersey boasting a bathroom and wooden sink. In the 1920’s, the Webb family purchased the property and turned the lodge into a vacationer’s dream with a one-night stay costing between $12 and $25 dollars . New owners, the Toms, expanded the Inn into a resort in the 1950’s. They added a swimming pool and tennis courts, which helped to build a thriving seasonal business where families would vacation for a week at a time. The Inn changed hands several times between 1978 and 1984 all the while losing its luster. In 1984, the Merli’s took over and began to restore the Inn’s original beauty until they sold the property to the Matthews in 1991. The Matthews felt the history of the Inn could blend with their own history and bring a taste of England to the Heart of the Poconos. They renamed the inn- The Britannia Country Inn. The twelve acre jewel was purchased and renamed by the current owners, John and Tina Dowd in November 2007 after an extensive renovation, which was initiated by the previous owners, Jerzy and Anna Olbry. The main Manor now houses an upscale steakhouse and six guest suites. In addition to the Manor suites, the property boasts 13 cottages on site. The cozy cottages each feature a gas fireplace.
