The Inns and B&Bs of Mystic Connecticut provide an intimate experience

When a lodging is called an inn or bed-and-breakfast, you can usually count on a smaller and more home-like dwelling, with a strong element of graciousness, quiet elegance, and upscale hospitality. Many inns in the Mystic region of eastern Connecticut were built in the 18th and 19th centuries and are furnished with antiques or reproductions that surround visitors with the sense of earlier eras. CT inns highlight their locations and traditions, such at some of the waterfront inns of the Mystic region. Often inns also offer fine dining in quiet, history-rich surroundings.

Delicious dining, comfortable rooms and suites, perfect location make historic inn a must for travelers

Start your vacation in Mystic with a hearty breakfast at The Whaler’s Inn’s on-site restaurant, The Shipwright’s Daughter. Then head out to the Mystic Aquarium (the one with the belugas), the Seaport Museum to visit a fully equipped whaleboat, the Tree Trails adventure park or nature center. Go hiking, sailing or go shopping in Olde Mistick Village, then head back to your roomy suite, perhaps with a fireplace, air-jet soaking tub and Mystic River views. Afternoons enjoy a hot cup and freshly baked cookies at Scrimshaw, the new pop-up coffee lounge, and later come back for superb dining with a menu that changes daily. The inn, whose roots go back over 125 years, is a new recipient of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for its wine list.
