Another Second Penny Inn

870 Pequot Trail
Stonington, CT 06378
United States of America

(860) 535-1710
 

Circa 1710. Stay in a quiet country setting of gardens, fields, and forests at this five-acre bed & breakfast inn, the recently restored Edward Denison House, a 1710 Center Chimney Colonial. The traditional decor is inviting and warm with candles in the windows, elegant colors and comfortable furnishings. Secluded hideaways encourage conversation or reading. Delightful guest bedrooms and a suite feature jetted tubs, fireplaces, handmade quilts and comforters. An incredible breakfast served on antique china and in crystal goblets may include sauteed apple and yogurt parfait, homemade doughnut muffins, cereals, scrambled eggs with cream cheese and crab alongside baked tomatoes and stuffed mushrooms, and sorbet or light pudding. Play badminton or croquet, and visit nearby Mystic Seaport.

Innkeeper Note

Owned and operated by Jim and Sandra Wright, Another Second Penny Inn is Stonington's only 3 Diamond B&B. We take as our motto the old Persian saying, "If you have two pennies, with the first buy bread for your stomach and with the second, buy hyacinths for your soul." Our 1929 wooden boat was our Second Penny when we lived in Oakland, Calif. Now she's out here in Connecticut as we continue her restoration and the inn is "another second penny". We welcome visitors from all over the globe; our dog Julie is friendly, sweet and well-mannered and our cat Hobo has never met a stranger.
