This place is so cheesy. Plastic flowers, way overkill on the victorian stuff and the "antique appointed", blah, blah, blah. It's on Rt 1 , really noisy, right next to private homes and across from a Dunkin donuts-where we should have eaten,there food stinks and there really cheap with the servings.

There is absolutely nothing special about this cheesy place.it is across the street from dunkin donuts and ona really noisy street....the neighbors yard has stuff all over it and this place has nothing but plastic furniture all around outside. The decorations inside are just old...not antiques...the owners are rude

Hi Glenn, Chris & Staff: just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful stay! My friends and I had a terriffic "girls getaway" weekend at the Inn and everything was first-rate: the accommodations, the outstanding, delicious breakfasts and the beautiful, historic Inn itself. We especially enjoyed the Saturday evening cocktail hour outside on your new patio chatting with the other guests. The cottage was perfect for the five of us: a roomy, 2-floor charmer that is cozy, comfortable, with a great kitchen, living room fireplace and all the privacy we needed yet only steps from the main house. Short hops to shopping at the outlets and Mystic couldn't be more convenient. We will be back!

Just loved relaxing by the wood burning fireplace during the Wine & Cheese Hour! We've stayed at many inns in the past but the attention to detail at the Westbrook Inn surpassed all the others by far.

My husband & I just celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary at the Westbrook Inn - it couldn't have been more perfect. The entire staff & the Innkeepers were so friendly & accommodating to our every need. The room was impeccably clean and the attention to detail was amazing! Some of our favorite things about the Inn were the extras; the bicycles, the beach towels & chairs, the complimentary wine & cheese hour Sat. night plus the cookies in the jar in the living room. We highly reccommend this Inn!

Dear Glenn and Chris – The Westbrook Inn was an absolutely unexpected treasure, and my thanks for a very pleasant stay! It is far and away the best B&B I recall staying at – and that includes the ones I’ve visited in England. Your friendly and accommodating staff – Kayla and Heather – and the charming atmosphere of your establishment, so immaculately furnished – all contributed to a very lovely experience.

Lovely Inn, nice & clean, too! We especially enjoyed the beach, the comfy beds, the wine & cheese hour Sat. plus the full breakfst every morning! The Inn was very spacious & there were many common areas & private nooks to enjoy outside, too.
