BRI is a warm and welcoming historic inn between the New England villages of Norfolk and Canaan. It's easily accessible (right on Greenwoods Rd/Route 44) but still quiet. The guest rooms and common areas find the right balance between beauty and comfort--lovely furnishings, but it doesn't feel like a museum. The included breakfast--served in the sun-washed (and fully enclosed/winterized) porch area is memorable, with local maple syrup and eggs that tasted like they had come from one of the nearby farms. I especially recommend it for a stay during the holidays. The lovely decorations, lights, and poinsettias gave the inn a magical quality from a bygone era.

I love the charm of the old inn--I felt like I was stepping back in time! I pulled an old book from the library about the life of Florence Nightengale and read it by the fireplace each night. I loved the enclosed (unheated) porch off of my room (M2); I wrapped myself in a cozy blanket and was able to catch the sun coming up over the mountains each morning while drinking my coffee! The house was beautiful (loved the music lightly playing in the common spaces) and the sunny restaurant was the perfect location for a complimentary full breakfast service!! The food was INCREDIBLE and the service felt like I was in a 5-star establishment! I have NOTHING bad to say about the whole (2-night visit!) We absolutely loved the peace, quiet, romantic feel of this beautiful inn/B&B!!! Thanks for having us!!

Joe was the best part every morning at breakfast which is amazing. The room was sadly super outdated - TV but doesn't work ( you can use dvds?). The beds sadly are so uncomfortable, more like a cot. And there needs to be air condition of some kind - the fan isn't enough to make it now feel muggy - and that's in 60 degree weather outside, the room inside was more like 90. It's definitely charming but just wanted to give an honest review. It's worth it for the made to order breakfast in a beautiful old room :)
