Historic Interest

National Historic Register Inn built in 1746 by Deacon Timothy Pratt, a carpenter and deacon in the 18th-century meeting house across the street. Once used as a private school in late 1700s. Our adjacent building, also part of the inn, The James Gallery and Soda Fountain, dates back to 1790 when it was originally part of an inn known as the Humphrey Pratt Tavern where the Marquis de Lafayette stayed and also made a purchase in 1824.

Love this B & B!

When I come to Old Saybrook (for events at The Kate), this is where I make my home. I love everything about it, the rooms, the people who own/work here, the breakfasts, the wonderful welcome feeling I have here. I'm also delighted with the Moroccan food (and ice cream!) right next door!
