I stayed for two nights this April - had originally planned for one night, but stayed an extra one (this was midweek, pre-season, but the B&B was still busy).

As mentioned in another room, the B&B staff are friendly and helpful, and Pat the innkeeper helped me a lot (I was travelling alone, from the UK, without a car, so really appreciated it!).

There is plenty to do in easy walking distance - restaurants, shops, etc - and if you don't mind a longer walk (about a mile or so) there is more to see with the coves and beaches. There are also bikes available to borrow if you want that too.

Breakfast is very tasty, and there's plenty of it, and a good chance to get acquainted with your fellow guests. There's also a lovely garden, complete with hammock, and a traditional ice cream parlour/soda fountain next door.

My only downer wasn't to do with the B&B directly, but that when I arrived on the train I couldn't get hold of the taxi firm. Normally someone from the B&B will help out with a ride, but nobody was available for the time I arrived, so I had to walk. It was a good workout, and probably good for my soul, but not much fun in the fog dragging a heavy suitcase plus backpack.

My husband and I always go away right after Valentine's day for our engagement anniversary-so 2 years ago we decided to try the Timothy Pratt B and B. The house is just beautiful-and the room we had (The Library) was so nice-great 2 person jacuzzi tub, fireplace, canopy bed, etc. The breakfast in the morning was also very good and we got to talk to others around the table. So we are heading back there this Feb. for 2 more nights-am very much looking forward to it!!!

Had a fantastic time. Monday night in November might not be the ideal time to see Old Saybrook but we had fantastic hospitality...way beyond what was called for. As we had no car we were taken on a drive of the loacal surroundings, had great home made breakfasts and a little tour of the historic building we stayed in.

Check if Pat is around when you're staying she's a real star.

Never met the owners. The candlelight breakfast was not what we expected. The fireplace did not work. Room was over a ice cream parlour. Not a very good view. The town was nice. Room was okay but nothing spectacular. Overall was not what we expected.
