Everything about the property was great. Beautifully maintained, lovely grounds and swimming pool, great breakfast, and excellent staff. Would definitely recommend.
A comfortable, lovely stay in a picturesque part of rural Connecticut. They served a delicious breakfast in a beautifully appointed dining room in the historic main house. A thoroughly delightful experience.
A very traditional inn. This is a B and B though. No tea or coffee in the carriage room we were in. A really lovely spot with great pool area and gardens. Very peaceful and beautiful breakfast with 5 star service. Good good 10 min drive to North Cannon.

Breakfast was excelent, with excelent service.
Parking was not an issue.
The room I stayed was nice and clean, but facing the road and therefore too noisy. Tried to change but no one even looked if there was another available.
Our eighth stay at the BRI. We prefer the huge M1 and M2 suites in the main building. They are a steal — two very large rooms, one of them a screened in sitting room. Lucas is a gracious host, and all of the staff work hard to please guests. The nearby Old Inn on the Green in New Marlborough, MA offers one of the best fine dining experiences in New England. The Yale Chamber Music concerts and Music Mountain are our major cultural attractions.
Everything was very clean and well taken care of. The staff was very friendly and breakfast was great. Parking/access was easy and stress-free. Anyone with bad allergies keep in mind that this is out in the country - grass/hay, farms around etc. This is a big part of what we enjoyed about it but we know it can be a problem for some people.
What a quaint and charming inn! Our room was quaint and very clean. The staff was excellent. The free breakfast was beyond! Served in a sunroom with white glove service. Very classy.
The nin is old and some of the floors squeak. -great value.
i stayed for 3 nights in march. was visiting friends and skiing at nearby ski butternut. this was the first time i stayed there. have already booked a return for june.
the highlights were a nice affordable room, wonderful included breakfast, and an attentive host, lucas b.

A lovely place to stay; clean, charming, and convenient, it was a welcome place to come back to after a day out. The breakfast was superb, and the care which we received throughout our visit was much appreciated.
