I stayed in the Zzz room for a night. The hosts, Paul and Bette, are wonderful. Their two cats are very cute as well. The room and bathroom were very clean and the bed was very comfortable---I had a great night's sleep. The outside is very picturesque--the porch has a fantastic view of trees and flowers (in the spring). The breakfast, prepared by Paul, was plentiful and fantastic. Paul served rye bread and scone baked by him. The house is more than 300 years old and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The stay was very reasonably priced. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would gladly stay there if I go back that way.

We enjoyed the whimsical and antique decor as well as the handmade quilts--most of which were stiched by Bette herself--which added to the cozy atmosphere. Breakfast consisted of a delightful mix of fruits drizzled with cream and accented by fresh mint leaves, French toast, caramelized bananas and traditional scones. Hot coffee, tea, and orange juice were available in copious amounts and the morning conversation with the hosts and other guests was lovely. Thank you! Hope to be back!

There are only two rooms, each having a private bath with shower. Guests have the run of the house, the yard, and the pool and hot tub. Breakfasts can include blueberry pancakes, eggs, or waffles. You need to love animals to stay here as there are three dogs and 2 cats that come into the house, 6 barn cats, and 6 horses. If you have any business in UCONN, this is a great (close) place to stay. It is also close to Willington, Tolland, Ashford, Mansfield, and Coventry. It is around 45 minutes from the airport. It is down a dirt road and is private and beautiful.

The house is clean, the land is cared for, and it was very toddler friendly/accommodating. There are goats, chicken, produce, flowers, and so much more to just relax here and enjoy the air. The stars are beautiful at night as well. The house is has a lot of history and charm. It is difficult to turn out of the driveway in the busy road where others are going fast and the bushes block some visibility of oncoming cars. Highly recommend this B&B!

To top off the experience in this 1723 house we were treated to a tour by the fascinating owner who has traveled the world and shares her finds with her guests. The other hostess was as welcoming as could be and served us such tasty treats. The house is on a farm of goats and free range chickens, quintessential Colonial New England. Put this on your bucket list, you won't be disappointed.

Just spent two nights at the inn. We stayed in room 5 and room 1. We were greeted by Lee, one of…read morethe owners. He was so warm and welcoming. Our room was terrific, so New England!! Our bed was super comfortable and the bathroom had just been renovated and was really well done. In the morning we were left a basket with homemade baked goods each morning. They left freshly cut fruit for our room and yogurt, juice and creamer right outside of our room. A hot tea maker and coffee maker helped get our day started. There is a nice room Downstairs for gathering. Our group took advantage of the flexibility of the room so we could all meet and chat together and have many many laughs. The inn was only outdone by the owners Lee and Diane, who could not have been more hospitable!! We all agreed that the Spring Hill inn is going to be our special place for all of our annual reunions.

It's a little hard to find via GPS, but off-the-beaten-path is why we chose to stay here. We opened the door into a beautiful open floor plan flanked by barnboard and stucco. Posts and beams support the clapboard ceiling and heartily contribute to the abode's country charm. We were greeted with a welcome note detailing the lodging's offerings with instructions should we have had any issues. There is a beautiful tree overlooking Firefly Pond, which really should have a rope swing on it, but we're hoping they add one in the near future. If you're looking for delightful accommodations in Coventry, this is the place for you.

Right when I walked in Lorraine greeted me and showed me around, offered me some freshly made brownies and we chatted over the deliciousness. The bathroom attached was amazing. I had a nice soak before dinner and drinks. Lorraine and her husband live there and are amazing hosts. The bed and breakfast is only about 10 minutes away from Bradley Airport and in the quaint town of Suffield. They have a grocery and some restaurants across the street, but little traffic in the neighborhood. It's such a great getaway spot. Breakfast in the morning was also SPECTACULAR. Blueberry pancakes, bacon and eggs, with a fruit salad to start. Lorraine really treats you like family when you stay here. I would be honored to be a guest here again. Thanks so much Lorraine! I loved it.

There is no doubt The Mansion at Bald Hill is a stunning venue to host an outdoor wedding. The…read moregrounds are maintained beautifully, and the gardens are green and lush. We loved the dramatic ceremony aisle, and the cocktail hour patio space was perfect. The ballroom can truly be transformed into something magical and memorable. Though the venue itself was overall perfect, we did not have a good experience with their so called "day of coordinator" (DOC). There was an extreme lack of communication and professionalism experienced during the rehearsal and wedding day with the DOC. As a Type A bride, I planned every last detail to a T and even provided a fool proof binder of my expectations for decor setup and wedding day flow. On the night of our rehearsal...the day before the wedding, we were informed that the DOC and her staff would not be assisting in the setting up of any of our wedding décor. The only portion of the setup they handle are the tables w/ linens (if you choose to use theirs) and the ceremony chairs. This was not discussed or disclosed to us when booking the venue and had it been, we would have hired an actual coordinator. Due to this, one of my bridesmaids and the significant others of the bridal party had to set up everything the morning of the wedding. Due to the lack of eye for detail and overall care from the mansion's DOC, she did not read the binder we provided her with which in turn also caused our ceremony to be mismanaged. She told the groom and bridal party to start walking before the officiant even began reading the opening remarks resulting in our officiant having to skip over the whole beginning of our ceremony script. We would have been better off without her "help" and "services" altogether as several of our other vendors also commented to us about her rudeness towards them. We also want to share our experience regarding their "open bar" pricing. Due to specific wording in the contract, we were charged an additional (quite significant) amount of money for alcohol consumed. You are not paying for an open bar here but rather by consumption so please be sure you understand your contract fully to avoid this unnecessary additional stress. Overall, we feel the venue itself made our wedding perfect, but we are giving only three stars due to the DOC's behavior, lack of care for the bride and groom and subpar services provided. If you fall in love with the grounds like we did and choose to book your wedding here, the major takeaway we have from our experience would be to hire your own coordinator. You will need someone who always has the bride and groom's needs at the forefront of their mind and someone who truly knows and cares about executing your vision. Your wedding day should be stress-free and that will not happen here without an outside coordinator.

Really cute, historical home with lots of charm, nested away in a quiet country setting. The owner…read morewas 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).

We had an absolutely incredible stay at An Innkeeper's Place. My family (two adults and two kids,…read moreaged 5 and 2) stayed in the Stafford Suite, which is an absolutely GORGEOUS one bedroom suite with a living area, kitchen with island, and a spacious bathroom. The fixtures were beautiful, the towels were so soft, and there were lots of lovely extras in all of the rooms (white noise machine! lavender bath salts!) The rooms were immaculate and the beds were incredibly comfortable (we typically stay at high-end hotels, and I expect to be a little disappointed in beds when staying at smaller places - not the case here!). I say beds because Danele pulled out the sofa for my son, and I wound up sleeping on it for part of the night - remarkably comfortable! The kitchen had everything we needed if we wanted to cook (we didn't!), including freshly ground (that day!) coffee, and Danele's breakfasts were delicious. When we had a splinter emergency with my youngest, Danele was able to help out with first aid supplies and kid-friendly band-aids. She saved the day! I can't say enough good things about this place. It exceeded my expectations in every way. We are looking forward to coming back again.
