Really cute, historical home with lots of charm, nested away in a quiet country setting. The owner was super friendly and greeted us outside right away upon our arrival. We stayed in the Stafford Suite circa 1778, which was an entire suite. (King bed, kitchen with all necessities, bathroom, cozy livingroom filled with games and so on...). I was in the area visiting UConn for the weekend so this was perfect; about 25 mins away. I had two issues with this stay and I will advise if you have ASTHMA or are an extreme ALLERGENIC person this may not be the right place for you. I struggled!!!
1) there's no heat in any rooms. There's individuals small Honeywell heaters in the bedroom and livingroom which take a lifetime to heat up the rooms. The bathroom does have its own heater. I tried leaving the heater on on low during the day while I left so when I came back I could be comfortable but it was turned off when I came back, I'm assuming the owner went there during the day. Since it's the room is technically under the room floors it's colder plus it's October fall in New England, it's generally cold here.
2) the mildew smell in there is very intense. We had to come home and wash everything. The smell was even trapped in my hair, it stunk badly. In order for them to mask the smell, everything is perfumed heavily. The sheets in the bed are heavily scented with whatever it is they use. If you are an ASTHMATIC or just a Plain ALLERGEN individual this May be a major issue for you. I know it was for me. After laying down for a few minutes, i started coughing, my chest hurt, and then shortly after I went into a full blown asthma attack. We then switched pillows from the couch to the bed and I also threw the blanket that was on the couch of the sheets on the bed and that's how I was able to sleep for the days we were there. Thankfully the couch items were not scented. Please be ware! Don't want anyone to suffer the same.
Otherwise the place is beautiful, cozy, romantic if your if your looking for that setting and quiet. Can't speak in regards to food ( I ate out). read more
