This historic inn is beautiful! We stayed in the main building which was built around 1760. The room was very spacious and set up well. We also had an enclosed 'porch' which was very nice. There was a small refrigerator. A microwave and coffee maker were not in the room. That would have been nice. The bathroom was also spacious, but had a lot of wasted space. It could have been arranged better, giving a larger shower area. The heat is the old, stand-up radiator/building heat, so there is not much ability to control the room's temperature accurately. The first night was too warm, second too cool, etc. The best part about staying here was the staff and the breakfast. The staff was fantastic and always available if you needed. They were always pleasant and ready to help. Joe, Lucas and (I don't know the lady's name) were great! Especially Joe! I always had the omelet for breakfast. It was probably the best I've ever had. There was also a good sized fruit cup, home fries, toast or English muffin and pancakes. Coffee, juice, and, of course, water were also provided. Coffee, tea and cookies were always available in the foyer. The cookies seemed home-made and not store bought. Very good. Even though we stayed 4 nights, our room was made up every day with fresh towels and linens. A few pieces of candy were also set on a tray. Nice. We stayed here due to the proximity to Canaan. We would definitely stay here again if visiting that area. Rated Excellent primarily due to staff.

This is an old inn but everything is clean and functioning, for the price you're comparing to bad strip mall chain hotels. The room was GIANT, we had a fire in our room and the service at breakfast is great.

This place was a mixed bag. The main house was nicely decorated, with coffee, tea, cookies and cake available at all times. Breakfast was outstanding, and Joe was so gracious and amazing. Our room, however, was less than satisfactory. The room was cold, with no apparent means for heat. There was also a sewage smell, especially in the bathroom. Overall, it was ok, but we would probably not stay here again.

A beautiful old Inn that has been well looked after. Breakfast was in a beautiful room and the food and service were both excellent. We also appreciated the complimentary cookies and chocolates in the foyer along with the tea and coffee facilities. The not so good points were the strong smell outside from the piggery (?) which thankfully couldn't be smelled from inside the building. Also the walls are paper thin so we were kept up by our neighbours who turned up late and had their TV going. The toilet paper is incredibly thin and what you might expect from a much cheaper place.

At more than 250 years old, the BRI is showing a bit of wear around the edges, but remains elegant and comfortable. Our lovely suite (larger than our NYC apartment) was comfortable and well-appointed and the staff could not have been more friendly and attentive. its a;lso a beautiful corner of the world, with rolling, wooded hills and fine dining scattered across the countyrside.
