It's a beautiful, cosy house and had plenty of room for all of us. Enjoyed sitting out in the sun for lunch and the kitchen/dining/living rooms were perfect for entertaining and just hanging out with the whole group later in the evening. Overall just a really positive experience, communicative host, no criticisms at all. Hope to stay here again next year! ##### Luke K. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Elaine C.

Once we got inside we appreciated the charm and history of this home. There was plenty of room for us. Beds and furniture was comfortable. Coffee, cream, bagels and water left for us was greatly appreciated. Yvette was easy to communicate with! ##### Elaine C. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Birch B.

There was plenty of sleeping room in this lovely old house and the living room was decorated charmingly. The kitchen is tiny and the house is on a busy road. The bedrooms upstairs are small and have low ceilings, but those downstairs are lovely. ##### Birch B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen C.

Older home but well maintained. We did have some issues with the electrical and some oultlets not working and tripping a fuse, but this was a minor inconvenience and not surprising given the age of the home. ##### Jen C.

Nov 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Old Saybrook Experience If you want to experience an older historical New England home with creaky wood floors, antique door hardware and beautiful grounds, this is your place. The home has been upgraded to provide modern plumbing and wiring, but don’t expect an open concept modern home with large kitchen and huge en-suite with a 1700’s exterior, because such is not style of this home. The location is close to town and highways so you can easily travel to anywhere you want on the Central Connecticut coast. Yvette, our hostess, was easy to communicate with and very gracious. If I had any caution about this property, it would be accessibility. Like most historical homes, all entries into the home requires climbing stairs, and going to the upstairs bedrooms requires negotiating narrow staircases with taller steps than modern homes. Again, this is not a criticism of the home, but just a note to advise future guests with mobility issues to be sure they check out the floor plan and access points on this home before confirming a reservation. Overall, our family enjoyed the stay and I would consider this property again if I were to make a return trip to Old Saybrook. ##### Kevin L.
