Description: |
We invite you to step back in time and enjoy the splendor of yesteryear in this c.1746 National Historic Register bed and breakfast located in quintessential shoreline New England village of Old Saybrook. The guest rooms are romantically furnished in period style, each one featuring a four poster or canopy queen bed, a working fireplace and Jacuzzi, a comfortable sitting area, cable TV, high speed wireless, phone/modem line, stereo/CD player, a/c, and private bath. This charming home boasts many fine original details including original wide-board floors throughout, hand-hewn beams, original doors with hand forged lathes, wainscoting, a corner cupboard, beehive oven, and eight working fireplaces. The home has been loving restored over the last seven years in hopes that our guests will enjoy the wonderful history, charm and authentic decoration that is here. A formal candlelit breakfast is served in the elegant dining room with fireplace on fine china. Relax in the picturesque grounds with gardens, inviting sitting areas, a two century-old maple tree with swing, a fountain, and hammock. Or, in colder months, lounge by the fire in the parlor or the privacy of your room, enjoy a game of chess, checkers or bridge, or visit with friends, and enjoy complimentary port wine, teas, hot chocolate, fresh baked cookies, and spring water anytime. Guest refrigerator available. Massage therapy can be arranged in your room. Located in the heart of the historic district, on a pretty gas-lit main street, we are a short walk to the water, quaint shops, restaurants, cafes, coffeehouses, with entertainment, churches, spas, town green activities, ice skating pond, scenic North Cove historic district, and Saybrook Point Park at the mouth of the Connecticut River. We are next door to an old fashioned ice cream parlor (since 1896), coffeehouse/cafe. Across the street is the historic General William Hart House Museum and a pillared white church. We are one mile from beaches, lighthouses, a waterfront historic park, waterfront dining, waterfront golf and minigolf and sightseeing cruises. We are also part of a historic walking tour and scenic coastal bicycle loop. Bordered on two sides by the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound, Old Saybrook embodies the spirit of a charming, small New England town with a rich seafaring tradition. We are centrally located 100 miles from New York City and Boston (midway between). One hour from Hartford, Connecticut and Providence, Rhode Island airports. There are two public boat launches; one is a half mile from B&B and affords great canoe/kayak routes from the cove to the river to the sound. Beach passes, maps, and advice provided. From the B&B take a scenic stroll along the water past the historic homes and scenic views of North and South Cove, Saybrook Point, and Fenwick. Watch the sun set over the ocean, or take a walk at Fort Saybrook Monument Park or out to one of Old Saybrook's lighthouses. Great area for walking, bicycling, canoeing or kayaking, antique shopping and scenic drives. We are just a short drive to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun Casinos, Clinton and Westbrook factory outlets, Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium, Olde Mistick Village, Essex Steam Train & River Boat, Essex Village, Gillette Castle, Chamard Vineyards, Children's Museum, Connecticut River Museum, Florence Griswold Museum, and numerous beaches, museums, antique shops, playhouses, state parks, wineries, spas, sightseeing excursions/cruises, golf, tennis, and charming New England villages to explore. Your hosts are happy to assist you in planning your stay and to share a wealth of knowledge on the area with you. |
