We stayed at this charming Bed and Breakfast for 2 nights in June this year during a motoring holiday of Connecticut and neighboring states. Our upstairs room was fresh and airy, charmingly furnished and had comfortable beds. A bar refrigerator for guests in the sitting room held a supply of water and soft drinks. Jeannine, the innkeeper, was a most... More

Our recent visit to Touch of Ireland Guest House with our family was superb. We were visiting from Florida for a very special 90th birthday celebration. We stayed in the Armagh and Dubliner suite and enjoyed how private it was for our family slumber party. The bed sheets were very soft, and the beds so comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing...

We stayed 2 nights in the Cork Room and found the room to be very accommodating to this traveler's needs. Bed is comfortable with very soft sheets, room has a window air conditioner, and the bathroom is private. BTW, awesome water pressure in the shower! No bathtub in this set up. Shelving and other cabinetry in the bathroom afford adequate... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at A Touch of Ireland. The hosts are warm and welcoming as is the decor. The Cork room that I stayed in was so cozy and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was a culinary delight. Jeannine and Michael could not have been more pleasant. If you are planning a trip to the New Haven area... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The place was beautiful and feels much more welcoming than a hotel room. If you are going to New Haven for a few days I would recommend this place. Its reasonably close to Yale. I walked from there to campus, but it does take around half an hour.

My husband and I stayed in the Dubliner room for one night, and had a relaxing evening. The room was clean, pleasant, and had a personal feel. The sheets were extremely comfortable as was the bed. The owner was friendly and courteous and made us an amazing breakfast in the morning. She set a lovely table and really goes the... More

Very friendly, Jeanine went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. The beds were so comfy, we all had a good nights rest. My mothers blood count was low because of her recent chemo treatment and she gets chilled very easy, Jeanine provided her with a space heater if she needed extra warmth when showering. The breakfast... More

This B&B is a treat for those who luck into a vacancy. Jeannine is a low-key, very friendly and attentive hostess, and makes guests feel comfortably right at home. The breakfasts are interesting and tasty, served at flexible times, and in a pleasant sun room. There's a fridge for guests, baked treats, and round the clock coffee and tea. Her... More

We loved our stay at A Touch of Ireland in New Haven. This comfortable 1920's-style Colonial house is located about a mile or less from the Yale Admissions office, so it is a great spot for those on the college tour. The innkeepers are very personable and friendly. Mr. McCann is quite a singer, and Mrs.. McCann makes a nice... More
