From the pictures on the website we expected a traditional Bed & Breakfast affording charm, peace and New England hospitality. Boy can pictures be deceiving! To begin with the facility is located on the corner [less than 50 feet] from a busy intersection of the main road to Mesquamacut Beach, fully equipped with speeding cars, loud motorcycles and periodic sirens of emergency vehicles. Night time traffic is particularly annoying when sleep becomes an issue. We would suggest you ask for a room as far from this front corner intersection with its horns and revving motorcycles as possible. Further, that touted lovely ancient maple we hoped to see. Gone. We’re sure the inn was lovely after it was remodeled, but currently could use some TLC. The owners efforts seem primarily directed at their winery. With the exception of the brief breakfast appearance, neither owner can be found at the inn. Their winery business seems to flourish, but the inn has been forgotten. Oh yes, please check which floor your room rests upon. Not a deal if you’re in good physical condition, but if climbing sixteen steps every floor would be an issue [yes very high ceilings] choose a different inn. Yep, no elevator, no handicap accessibility [not even handicap bar to help with the very deep whirlpool bathtub], and no website mention. One final point, the bed. It’s not good! We carry a three inch memory foam mattress pad [for the “just in case” beds]. Even with the pad, the ‘old mattress’ just ‘ain’t what it used to be’. The owners need to choose: Great Bed & Breakfast or Great Winery. Doesn’t seem like they can do both. The write up speaks of “many porches” to choose from to sit and read up. Well there are two; the front porch closest to road and noise or the side porch which is slightly less noisy, but the walls of that alcove are covered with spider webs and grime from not ever being power washed. It wasn’t very inviting. Also of note is that the air conditioning is only available on the top 3rd floor, which did afford some slight muffling of the intersection noise. WiFi strength was poor on 3rd floor. I guess some folks are just so thankful to get away from the ‘big city’ that anything looks ‘just wonderful, but we’ll investigate other B&Bs in the area for our next visit.
