The Bevin House B&B

Like something out of a book! My sister and I truly enjoyed our stay here and the incredible breakfasts- this is a true BNB. Shout out to Amanda the housekeeper/chef, she was a wonderful host and a delight to chat with.

During our first night, there were a few anti-social flies that found their way behind the blinds. Our stay was right after a heat spell in October so this was not too surprising considering the house is a time capsule from the 1870's.

I had a wonderful breakfast and delicious homemade treats.

Beautiful quiet place, The house is exceptional, only thing nicer than the house is Amanda who is the innkeeper.

The property is beautiful. Outside deck, gardens, pool. Spacious house and grounds. Lots of rooms for guests to spread out and relax. I really enjoyed meeting other guests at breakfast and swapping life stories. Hostess / innkeeper was very nice and accommodated requests. I asked for a light blanket and got it. Special diets were honored. It was no problem at all sharing a bathroom with another room, especially since thick cotton bathrobes were provided. Loved having a sink and mini-frig in our room.

The breakfasts were disappointing. The main reason I choose B&Bs is for the normally delicious breakfasts. Here, Everything was served cold and the fancy dishes (frittata, dutch baby) were tasteless. After three days I was longing for plain, hot eggs and pancakes. The house is full of antiques, which are comfortable, but rooms are dark and a little stuffy. Some conveniences were lacking that could be easily fixed, such as lights bright enough to read by (the Chauncey room is very dark); closet hangers and/or hooks for clothes; counter space in bathroom for cosmetics, clothes, and glasses; and racks or other flat surfaces for luggage. We had to leave our suitcases on the floor.

No elevator

Location was quite convenient to the desired area. The house itself is a fin de siecle gem. Breakfast was very good.

As an old house the stairways were challenging and the separate bathroom could have been more convenient. (Down the hall and on a different landing) shared with another room. (No ensuite facilities available)

The Bevin house is beautifully restored. Andrew the Innkeeper & Chef is very personable and funny. His breakfasts, daily cookies and hot cider were phenomenal! We even fed the goats on the grounds.

Our room (The William) only had a creaky Double bed - but we still slept fine. We also shared a bathroom - but that too was fine.

Unfortunately, we had many stink bugs in our room. I understand they were all over CT, out of anyone’s control but it was uncomfortable looking at them crawling along the walls

The location was perfect for our plans. Chef Andrew’s breakfasts were hearty and delicious with special gourmet touches each day. Andrew welcomed us warmly when we arrived, giving us a personal tour and history of Bevin House. Add to that our pleasant conversations with him throughout our stay, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bevin House.

Just Kleenex and cups in bathroom.
