Connecticut River Valley Inn

We visited during the depths of winter and had a lovely stay with cozy fires, plush bedding, wonderful breakfasts and three feet of snow...a romantic winter wonderland.

I spent a wonderful evening with wonderful friends at the CT River Valley Inn for a girl's night reunion. The Inn could not be more beautiful, down to the smallest detail. And Pat's food was simply delicious. Be sure to try the poppy seed salad dressing!

We returned in late October 2010 for a long weekend while visiting our daughter who attends a local university. The innkeepers made us feel so welcome and the inn is very comfortable. We also love their dogs!

In July my husband and I stayed 5 nights at the Connecticut River Valley Inn in Glastonbury. The centuries-old house has been lovingly and creatively renovated to perfection, including up-to-date conveniences and luxuries one would not expect. The furnishings are comfy and invited us to sit a spell; the linens are luxurious. The ambiance is one-of-a-kind and pleasant. We enjoyed the balcony and picturesque views all around. There is so much to enjoy in the historic Hartford area. Each morning Pat so pleasantly served our breakfast (fresh fruit, warm scones, hot quiche, flavorful juices and coffees). Our breakfast companions were equally pleased with their experiences. Wayne had given dinner/restaurant recommendations to suit our individual preferences, and they were right on target! We heartily recommend the Inn!

We had such a pleasant stay at the Connecticut River Valley Inn this summer. The location is just right—close to the center of town, so that it’s interesting to take a walk, but set back enough from the street that the room was very quiet. The grounds are beautifully maintained. It would be the perfect place for a wedding reception—there’s even a church next door. Our room was comfortable and attractive. We particularly appreciated the fact that there was ample lighting. The Inn is still new, and it was fun to look at the scrapbooks that show the transformation from a single family home to the freshly created inn. Oh, and breakfast was very good—a nice combination of fresh fruits and yogurt, followed by extravagant French toast. Our tablemates were people who had stayed at the inn before—a testimony to this very agreeable place.

Charming B&B in an historic New England town. Beautiful grounds. Enjoyed the carillon coming from the church next door, while relaxing in the yard. Hosts were very friendly and accomodating. Dinner recommendation (2 Hopewell) was excellent...best filet mignon we ever had. Bed was extremely comfortable. Beverage maker in the room was much appreciated. A variety of coffees, teas, or hot chocolates could be ready in minutes. Spa shower was unique. Body lotion was the best. All in all, an excellent B&B.

I picked this B&B on a whim, and couldn't be more pleased. My intent was to have a pleasant evening, and visit the Mark Twain House (10 min. away) on my way up from Virginia to another permanent destination. I am already planning my return visit. Patricia and Wayne Brubaker, the owners of the inn, have left no detail unvisited. From remote controlled air conditioning (tastefully hidden behind silkscreen) to Bose sound systems and steam bath options, the 300 year old house has much more than the average modern convenience. While the outer structures have retained the beautiful integrity of the historic period Glastonbury is known for, the rooms were full of romantic (but completely updated!) aesthetic. 3 minute's worth of walking brings you to a beautiful river trail, three minutes in the opposite direction brings you to multiple high quality restaurants (I had a great meal at Cafe Pazzo's) and shops. Please, please, please take advantage of the breakfast part of the experience--the quiche alone is fantastic, and the scones, well, I don't want to rub it in too much. I would feel guilty if you couldn't share it. For military folks, the inn has exceedingly generous offer for you--nights in each room for 50% off!!! You won't regret visiting this spot.

Had a wonderful time in CT, and am so glad I chose your B and B; beautiful surroundings, comfortable bed, exceptional shower, tasty food with eye candy presentation, not to mention simulating company of humans and pets. Thank you for the info on the ferry to Rocky Hill (Tapestry Rose), as simple as it was, it proved to be almost the highlight of the day.

My fiance and I stayed an extra night at this inn just to soak in the tranquil New England feel of this gorgeous historic home. The innkeepers were helpful and very personable, with plenty of advice on local attractions. Our room was refreshing, with crisp detailed design, high ceilings and a decadent spa-style shower. We enjoyed the modern convenience of wireless internet in a place where otherwise you might feel transported to an earlier period in history. The air was fresh, and the grounds were sprawling and well manicured, and a yummy healthy breakfast was waiting for us in a beautiful salon in the morning! I will definitely be staying here again!

A lovely, welcoming B&B. I stayed here with my aunt and mother while visiting family. From the cozy inviting rooms (each artistically created by the owners) to the fabulous breakfast. This is a 5 star B&B--I highly recommend it for a romantic getaway or just traveling through New England!

What a fantasic stroke of luck. The local Hilton Garden was fully booked and I had never really considered a B&B while on business travel. But a Glastonbury local recommended it to me and wow.... What a hidden gem. The owners Pat and Wayne were charming, polite and gave some great insights to the local area. The room was so much better than any hotel room I'd stayed in and had all the facilties. The Pièce de résistance was the breakfast. Freshly cut fruit, a proper cooked breakfast like only your mum could make and a chioce of 10 different coffee varieties. I will certainly be booking in advance for my next trip to the Glastonbury area.

My husband and I extended our trip by a day so we could stay at this Inn a second night! It is perfect! Gorgeous old home restored with the greatest attention to detail. The rooms are spacious, extremely comfortable, quiet and private. Who knew a remote control could start up the gas fireplace and heat the room! California king bed, body spray showers, linens, towels - all chosen for ultimate comfort. The rooms lack no modern convenience. Pat's artistic touches are everywhere - making each room a very unique setting. Pat and Wayne are warm, welcoming and very friendly Innkeepers/homeowners. They make every effort to provide for every need and answer every question. Their pride in their home is well deserved. Their attention to detail is remarkable. Pat's breakfast was delicious and hearty - she has many talents!
