staff was extraordinarily hospitable, knowledgeable of the area and took time to chat....
Patricia, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice Inn, kept very clean, nice location. Staff is friendly and helpful but a little less available during the week than on weekends. None of the rooms have a coffeemaker. The standard room is very small with no TV but the more updated rooms will have one. We would stay at this Inn again.

A quaint and charming New England Inn set in a peaceful setting close to beaches. The staff do everything to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing.
Sherry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely love this Inn and will be back again and again. Only small downside for me were the bathroom towels as they are quite rough. But that's a small negative. Staff is wonderful and attentive and the full experience is top notch and classy.

Excellent Stay at small Inn

The staff at the Inn are incredibly nice and helpful in every way. The Inn is very quaint and a great location to all the ongoings and sights in the mid-connecticut shore area. We will be back for another visit hopefully soon.

The Inn needs an update. Our room had no television, refrigerator, bathtub or fireplace. The bright spot was the Side Bar which has excellent jazz shows
