I took my fiance to Connecticut last year for a much needed R&R. The weather was not the best, but he and I managed to have a great time at FGH and New Haven area. Our room was decent in size, clean, and had an EXTREMELY comfortable bed! Also, the staff will pretty much make you anything for breakfast. We highly recommend this B&B and will stay again!

This was a home away from home. We totally enjoyed our stay. Friendly and courtesy innkeepers. The food was outstanding. Carol went out of her way to accomodate our party leaving earlier than normal. Carol prepared a breakfast for us and provided to go bags for our trip. I will reccomend this HOME AWAY from home to all our friends and relatives... thank you so much..

I have stayed at Farnam Guest House on many occasions throughout my daughter's four years at Yale. The accommodations are lovely, and the food is delicious! The staff is friendly and courteous. A home away from home -- who could ask for more? This is the very best place to stay in New Haven!

The colonial home sits along a beautiful tree lined street in New Haven, and shares a piece of history with neighbors and guests alike. You'll be impressed by the scale and decoration downstairs as well as the bedroom/bathroom size and decor. Spacious and comfortable, fresh and clean, you'll have a great night's rest. During my stay, I woke up to New Haven's Spring air, singing birds, and sunlight feeling refreshed.

Hosts were all very friendly, and neither of them were intrusive or annoying at all, I felt we could talk to them anytime we wanted to, or mind our own business if we wanted to. That's a big plus, makes you feel comfortable. And they did know how to see that our stay be as good as it can be. I mean, all we had to do was ask. If there was something they could do, they would do it, i.e. : set up a cooler room for us because we went in the hotter days of summer. Then, everything was clean, couldn't really find a speck of dust anywhere, all bathrooms were completely cleaned every day. I wasn't scared to take a bath, it all seemed so clean. The food was very good, especially our breakfasts. Anything we wanted exactly how we wanted it, in an absolutely beautiful room, classy and (again) clean. Rooms were all very cute, maybe some of them are a little smallish, but everything still had a warmth to it. Next on our N.E. trip was a night at La Quinta Inn. The contrast was DRASTIC. FGH was much less expensive (100$ vs 150$ w/o tx) and we got a lot more for the price at FGH. All in all, I would recommend it to any couple traveling without children, without any hesitation. Good going Jason and Carol ! Sorry it took us so long to post a review ! Désolé de ne pas avoir afficher notre critique plus tôt ! (Carol speaks excellent French!)

The house is lovely, gracious and extremely private. It is almost like owning this mansion for a week. I was given a reduced rate for a week's stay. My room was gorgeous with luxurious bedding. I did my cooking in the guest kitchen and was able to read and spend time in the parlor. The staff is extremely friendly. They are very knowledgeable about New Haven. I was 100% pleased with my stay.

My room was clean and spacious. The bed was amazingly comfortable. The House is outstanding, wooden floors throughout and high gracious ceilings. The price is a great value, you get a gourment breakfast 3 courses, free parking and free phone calls. The owners and staff are friendly. It was the best place I stayed all summer.

I usually don't take the time to write reviews like this, but I was so struck by the Farnam Guest House that I felt compelled to sing its praises. The house is beautiful and spacious, with all the luxury but none of the pretension of other higher priced B&B's I've stayed at. The rooms were exquisitely decorated, clean and inviting. The staff courteous and friendly; and the food was as delectable as the atmosphere. And on top of it all this historic mansion has a working elevator! More than worth the price, the Farnam Guest House is, in this Yale parent's opinion, the finest place to stay in New Haven.
