Felt like home

Stayed in July 2025

The inn is very close to the highway, which you can hear when outdoors, on the grounds. But we did not hear it from our room and there were no issues with sleeping well.

What a beautiful old inn, with character and style! The staff are very friendly and helpful, and our stay was comfortable and very enjoyable. We also had brunch at the inn on Sunday, which was delicious. Plus there was lots of free parking.

Always cozy with a welcoming staff! Just across from Flo Gris & Lyme Art Association with a wonderful bar & restaurant and the fabulous Side Door Jazz Club attached! Had the pleasure of seeing Jason Marsalis this trip. Our wonderful room had a FP ...nice on a raw April eve! Thx, Lesley!!

The Inn was beautiful and historic. The restaurant was excellent, and the Jazz Club outstanding! The best part though, was the staff! From the second we arrived, everyone there was so friendly, and helpful! We loved our stay there and will definitely return.

No food or music, but understand that’s not a mid week option

Wonderfully accommodating and well appointed.

The check-in time of 2-4 pm seemed a bit unrealistic. I had to make an appointment for check in after those hours. And the $25 penalty for check-in after 9 pm, which is stated in the website, seemed a bit unfair. But the staff were great about keeping in touch via text message.

The staff were awesome! They gave me a room upgrade at no extra charge, as I stayed in February, a slow month. They started the fireplace in the library, just for me, so I could enjoy breakfast in a warm and cozy atmosphere. Nice gas fireplace in my room, too.

Nothing not to like! If it were a little less expensive, I could stay there more often ;-)

A special place to stay. A lovely old inn in charming Old Lyme. The staff were super personable, the room was lovely and comfortable, and the breakfast was reasonably priced and tasty.

Wifi could be a little more consistent.

Very pleasantly decorated room. Larger than we expected. Nice, quiet location close to where we needed to be.

It was a lovely stay and everything was as advertised. The bathroom doesn't have shelf space to put your toiletries but it does everything you need. Old Lyme itself wasn't as exciting for us, but nearby Essex was a nice place to go for a little stroll.

A beautiful in directly opposite from the Florence Griswold museum and the art association. A 10 min walk down Lyme street yields some beautiful houses to look at (although there isn't a centre of town so much). The inn has nice lounge spaces to hang out in.

My train was very late getting in. The owner volunteered to come pick me up in Old Saybrook. Wow, talk about above-and- beyond!

Better lighting and easier entry into the building. The key was a bit hard to use.

I had to leave for my workshop earlier than the breakfast was offered.

The only thing I missed was not being able to walk out the door and take a brisk walk each day..no sidewalks🙈

Charming atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, loved the Jazz brunch…the owners were present lovely and welcoming. We have stayed there many times over the years. The dining was excellent and cozy bar on site is very relaxing. 5stars everything🥰

No TV in my room, need a few more amenities, lotion, toothpaste and brush, shower cap.

Quiet, felt safe , local and A/C.

Although it’s near vicinity to I-95 makes it really convenient to get around, when you sit outside, you do hear the highway noise. That is not true when you are in your room. Our room was quiet and peaceful.

The inn is classic old New England. There is a public sitting room and outside seating. Although we didn’t actually eat at the restaurant, the menu looked great. Staff throughout the establishment, including The Side Door, could not have been friendlier. The Side Door was really hopping when we stayed. Florence Griswold Museum is right across the street. Plus, if you like colonial era homes there is a self guided walking tour available of Old Lyme.

Beautiful property, excellent staff.

The bathroom was so tiny, maybe adding some shelves for guests to put toiletries would be an idea.

Quaint decorations. Very comfortable!
