Our experience at the Light House Inn was horrible. The night we were there, they had no hot water. This was bad enough, but in a way understandable (their hot water heater had broken). The real problem was no one told us. Not when we checked in, not when they showed us our room, not even when we asked for... More

Where to start. Booked the room 2 months in advance and my card was charged at the time of booking which is unusual for me. In any case my partner and I checked in for a wedding (one night only thank heavens!). After a few minutes in our room I turned on the hot water tap to wash my face... More

Comments from guests: One night, Sept 21, 2008 "The hotel is located at the end of a quiet residential street. The exterior of the hotel looked fine. When we drove around to the entrance, we were surprised to see there was only one other car there. When we walked towards the door, there was a sign stating that the restaurant... More

We were given a room directly over the bar, where a band played until midnight each night. Immediately upon arrival we asked to change rooms because the noise was unbearable. The only other room they had available was a smaller room with a double bed (rather than a queen that we paid for). We took the room because it wasn't... More

Where to start? This could be such a great place but it fails to meet expectations. Firstly we arrived to be given a key for a room in the carriage house rather than the grand mansion house. The room (having negotiated the poorly maintained worn down entrance area including holes in doors rather than doorhandles) was in fact a store... More

My wife and I booked a saturday night for a friends wedding nearby. Location was excellent. We were booked into room 7 in the mansion. Our room was a disgrace. the kitchen exhaust fans blew the kitchen smoke directly into our room. The oversized windows were patched around a small room AC unit. The seal was less than perfect. In...

This hotel is a gracious, old building with nice rooms. The service at the desk was good and the people in the tavern kept the kitchen open for us and service and food was good. I could see though that the hotel is a bit run down, but overall, the furniture etc. was fine. The cleanliness was fine. We had... More

We had hoped for a great night there. Unfortunately, the room we got was NOT anything like the pics on their website. It was MAYBE a step up from a college dorm room...no view...the hotel is FAR removed from the water...AND...for $175.00! The two staff members we saw at the front desk (checking in and out) were very nice. We... More

I am from Connecticut and now living in New York City. We went to the Inn seeking a place to get the peace and quiet of CT without staying with family. Our room was lovely in cream colors with a picturesque view of the water across the street. The bathroom was extra large and sparkling clean. Diner in the tavern... More
