    Awesome getaway, great hosts Carol and Ted and Awesome caretakers John and Nelly . Beautiful breakfast where we sat with the other guests and talked about any paranormal activities that they may of heard. It is old charm in a beautiful setting with a cemetery on the property for those who seek a little more adventure. We did hear a child laughing then on my recorder someone crying and a man's voice . We stayed several days and enjoyed our time there. Definitely a must do.

    Sherry for two.

    We spent a nice getaway weekend from the city life and this cute bed and breakfast was perfect! Ted and Carol were the warmest and friendliest hosts anyone could ever ask for. The morning breakfasts and conversations was the highlight of our day. Ted gave us a nice tour of the place along with the restorations and history of the inn. He also gave us recommendations where to eat and enjoy ourselves. I originally was searching for a haunted experience and this inn popped up, the second night we had some "visitors" but nothing malicious lol. We stayed in the Adelaide room and sherry was available for us along with a cozy bed with fireplace. Old Mystic village was a hit along with visiting the famous Mystic Pizza restaurant, the house special pizza is amazing!! Will be coming back soon!!!

    READ THIS BEFORE EVEN THINKING OF GOING TO THIS PLACE!! When we arrived no one was there to check us in. We also had a huge problem as something we had arranged with the owner Carol was way out of whack. They have no phone # listed to call & I remembered reading somewhre she lived next door in the Avery House. So wife & I went next door, no one answered, so around back we found a staircase to the 2 story deck. We knocked on the door and her husband Ted answers the wreaking of booze. We asked him why the arrangements we had made with Carol and had email confirmation was wrong. He had no answer, we asked for a refund and said we would drive home 2 hours disappointed but not mad. He walked away & then Carol comes storming up to the door drunker than Ted refusing to refund us, telling us lie after lie when we had proof in an email of the arrangement. We repeatedly gave her an opportunity to make things right with a refund & she repeatedly told us no, deal with it. Not one apology, just slurring of words and lies. So we went next door to the Inn. The following is the truth, the whole Inn smelled like a barn & had moths flying all over the inside. I have video proof of the moths. After a few hours we decided to just drive home & not stay the night. The next day I messaged Carol asking for at least half my money back & told her most business owners at least care about good reviews if not good customer service. She told me that I was committing extortion & had stolen a bunch of things in an effort to scare. Well I don't steal & don't want anything but an apology. Now we are out $187 & Carol could care less.

    The Captain's nightly entertainment is better than HBO. Sometimes, ghost stories are told.

    There are many hotels and B&Bs that we like a lot, but only one that we consider to be a home away from home. We have been using this for more than a dozen years. Ted and Carol, the proprietors, are a wealth of knowledge about the area, and always ready to make your visit memorable. We have stayed in nearly all of the rooms and never seen one of the ghosts that they are famous for, but we never really expected a ghostly sighting. On our last visit we were buzzed by an osprey and saw a fox running towards us. The breakfasts always include amazing food and good company. Highly recommended!

    What a great place with so much character. We spent 3 nights here and fell in love with the Inn and most of all, our hosts. Ted and Carol are the hosts and John is their right hand who seems to take care of all the odds and ends from serving breakfast to yard work etc etc etc. they are an unbeatable trio. There may be others behind the scenes as well, but these three lovely folk are the only ones we saw and met and are definitely, 'front and center'. The inn of course, was built in 1754 and it houses all the charm of an aged sentinel that has stood the test of time, safely guarding it's occupants. Oh if only these walls (and floors) could talk, as they say. Before we were out of the car, Ted ambled up behind us and greeted us by name, offered to get our bags and immediately took us on a tour of the Inn. They (Ted and Carol) generously provide cakes and cookies, along with cold drinks and wine for their guests in the dining room. Mugs for coffee and tea in the sitting room. WiFi also available. Antiques decorate the lower level of the Inn and over one particular antique hangs a portrait of Captain Grant himself. Keeping an eye over those who frequent his family home. Write ups from local paper and mentions from HGTV and CNN are found around the place and make for interesting reading. There is also a large game room with board games, TV and a pool table available. The lovely (7ft wide, I think) staircase is adorned with a mural depicting the town and the original known buildings back in the 1700s. There is also a lovely OLD cemetery behind the Inn with stones dating back to the 1600s. Quite remarkable that they are still standing and still legible for the most part. All of this helps helps you step back through the centuries. When you get to your room, your travel through time is complete. We stayed in the Adelaide room and my was it cozy! What a great room, with great 'bones' and a lovely vibe to it. Very peaceful. The window box a/c did it's job splendidly through the rare heatwave we experienced here in CT and there was also a Fireplace for chillier and more usual evenings. The bed is super comfortable and would you believe Ted and Carol even provide a complimentary decanter of Sherry to send you off to sleep. Even though the bathroom is small it is a full ensuite and in this old of a home, it was surely a feat adding one in there at all. Ted and Carol also provide shampoo/conditioner and soap as well as plenty of towels etc, fresh every day! TV with complete cable package should you just choose to hibernate and enjoy/soak up your surroundings. Carol has poured her heart and soul into this Inn and it is evident. Her love for it emanates from every inch. Carol is a very talented lady. She is also a great cook and a published author. Speaking of cooking, breakfasts have been a treat and Ted and Carol actually join in keeping the banter going between all of the guests. The table settings are exquisite and would make any old, stately, home proud. Fine china in complete settings greeted us each morning. If you are considering staying here, please let us help you with your decision... Do it! You will be pleased you did.

    Came across this bed and breakfast while looking for haunted places to stay for vacation. Once we pulled in we were greeted by the groundskeeper who was very friendly and welcomed us. From there we were introduced to Ted; co-owner of the inn. He was very nice and very caring and interested about myself as well as my wife and just learning more about us. He showed us all around noting what we can do, what's local to the area, when they serve breakfast, etc. When reviewing use of the kitchen, he took initiative in asking if we there were any dietary restrictions and upon learning of my wife's gluten allergy, stated they would make breakfast for her without any issue. We stayed in the Amy bedroom which was quiet regarding ghost activity for most of the stay. The journals provided a fair history of previous guests' experiences and somewhat of an outline of what to expect. While staying there, I experienced an odd dream and heard many heavy footsteps pacing back and forth each night around 12/12:30. Super intriguing! When having breakfast, French toast, cream cheese eggs, sausage, strawberry compote, various juices, and coffee were some of the items served. All of which were very tasty thanks to the works of their staff. Additionally, my wife had a great experience with her gluten free French toast, having no symptoms of cross contamination which is a big win in our book. While at breakfast, Carol, the other co-owner and Ted told us the history of their ownership with the inn as well as the challenges they've faced. They gave some very interesting insight as to how they came upon the furniture with Ted making some by hand. Not much was told about the history of the home and how it came to be the "most haunted inn in CT." Sleeping in the Amy room left some things to be desired. While the bed was roomy enough to hold my wife and myself (we're not exactly big people), we can't say it was very cozy, the mattress itself was fairly hard with not much support. The window to the left of the room could not be kept open and had glass even if it was to be opened. The fireplace was beautiful and was gas powered which was great. It could be controlled by the thermostat attached but could not be turned off which makes things a little warm throughout the night. We imagine summers may be a tad hot. We made a quick trip and purchased a fan that we put in the window facing out to the road to rectify this. When first walking into the room, the switch immediately left of you will not turn on anything and we could not figure out for the week we were there what it would turn on but assume it was to a plug. The Amy room also contained a bathroom with a toilet and shower/tub. The inn supplied body wash, shampoo, and conditioner all in the shower which was a nice little touch. That being said, the bathroom door would close but did not have anything to latch onto in order to stay closed. So hopefully you're comfortable with your partner lol. All in all, the experience there is unique and offers a trip back in time to think of what history has happened with the residents and owners of the house. Hearing how much has gone on with the property as well as knowing close by, Captain Grant may be still watching from the graveyard or in a nearby room is as exciting as it is haunting. Ted and Carol were lovely and are more than happy to have had us and answer anything we came up with. The property is quite large, even holding a three story deck, game room, and a significant amount of land you might just be able to explore. If this all sounds like something you'd want to tackle we'd say go for it but we would also say it can not be for everyone

    This is such an amazingly beautiful place. I am so glad I picked this at the last minute. We stayed in the Adelaide room, which was quaint and beautiful. It came with complimentary drinks and snacks and delicious Creme Sherry was awaiting us in the room. The wonders were wonderfully personable and provided an absolutely delicious breakfast. If you are looking for a quaint little bed and breakfast, this is the place to go. The added "haunted" history adds to the charm. We will definitely be staying here again!

    This place was really lovely. I'll break my review down…read more Room: immaculately clean and pretty. Our room had it's own bathroom that was also clean, had towels and all the essentials available. It was decorated in a very pretty historical style. My husband is especially picky and had nothing to even point a finger at. House: Very cosy. there is a very large front yard where we had breakfast in the morning when it was nice out. If you stay there definitely walk the grounds of the house. It's so pretty and calming there. The house sits on about 5 acres but it's mostly woods all around except for the area right around the house. Breakfast: The best part! They have a farm and garden on the grounds so all the eggs, herbs, and fruit were from their garden and farm. Everything was very fresh and delicious. On the first day we had eggs and herb roasted potatoes which were delish. We also had home made muffins with blueberries from the garden! amazing! the next day we had by far the best pancakes I have ever had. all homemade with items from the yard! I would come back just for the breakfast! Owners: Gail and her husband Sandy are the sweetest! They took really good care of us. They were very helpful as far as what to do around town before we took off for the casinos in the evening.
