    Although I was born and raised in Bristol CT, I had no idea there was a bed and breakfast in the historic Federal Hill neighborhood. My stay could not have been more delightful, in part because I was able to experience this impressive mansion itself, but largely because of Dan and Cynthia, who are warm and sincere. I plan to visit again soon.

    My husband and I stayed two nights at Chimney Crest Manor - beautiful/historic place, very welcoming/friendly hosts, delicious breakfasts, quiet atmosphere and comfortable accomodations. Nice drive to local wineries. The town of Bristol itself, let much to be desired. Were hoping for a small town New England feel with shops/places to walk, but didn't find that at all. Otherwise our stay at the Manor was great - including a shooting star seen from the back patio, a game of chess, and soaking in the jacuzzi tub. Highly recommended.

    This is a treasure tucked in the midst of a quiet neighborhood. Felt like we were guests in a mansion. Interior decor was beautiful and grounds were nicely kept. Walked to clock museum and enjoyed other nearby attractions of Mark Twain's home and carousel museum.

    Cindy and Dan were such gracious hosts. They have a beautiful manor/home and make each one of their guests feel like they are family. Breakfast was absolutely scrumptious and a perfect way to end our stay. We would highly recommend a stay there.
