Connecticut

Quick Tips:

There are no restaurants available locally within walking distance, but Stash's (a local bar and grill) on Pequot Avenue is wonderful – it’s inexpensive and great for families. The owner is charming and willing to please noticing your presence.

I would recommend taking bicycles to view the local homes in the area.

Best Way To Get Around:

The inn comprises three buildings: the original Guthrie Mansion (of which we stayed in with a room overlooking the Sound), the Carriage House, and Watchman's Cottage. The mansion contains 27 guest rooms, the Carriage House contains 24 rooms decorated in French décor, and the Watchman's Cottage is a large studio with private patio for large families. I would not recommend the mansion for families since one can easily even hear the walking of its occupants throughout the building during all hours.

The lobby is magnificent with its winding staircase and its staff is all accommodating and never are without a smile and kind word!

Continental breakfast is served every morning for $5 per person, but it is only served until 9:30am, which is not good for those who sleep late! There is only a microwave, mini refrigerator, and coffee maker in the room and the room offers daily maid service.
