Connecticut Bed and Breakfast

Award Winning Bed and Breakfast Connecticut in a Mansion. Walk to Restaurants by the River.

The Boardman House Inn bed and breakfast offers luxurious air-conditioned guest rooms. It is a home away from home with plush down duvets, fine linens, as well as antiques and oriental rugs. Most of the rooms have heated marble bathroom floors and some have private or semi-private porches.

We have tried to maintain the intimacy and privacy true to its original role as a private residence. One of the many charms is its small size and intimate environment.

Nestled within a charming neighborhood in a historic district, we offer the best of one of the country’s most beautiful areas close to quaint towns like Old Saybrook, Mystic and Essex CT.

The area is a destination for all seasons. You will find big-city sophistication combined with the charm of the rural Connecticut with its centuries of history and culture.

The porch was an added bonus. Sitting outside and read a book in the quiet of the country was a pleasure.”
