5 out of 5B and B full of history and charm
October 16, 2012
A real home from home and we came from the UK !! Nothing was too much trouble including every dietary need. We never had the same breakfast twice. All food freshly baked and cooked . If we weren't 3500 miles away we'd be back next year. John & Sally-Ann, Coventry UK
5 out of 5Perfect B&B!
September 12, 2012
My husband and I recently stayed at the Daniel Rust House, in the Mary Rose room, and fell in love with the entire house and it's owners. Everything was perfect, right down to the grounds. The history of the house is fascinating, for those history buffs, but most of all, they hosts could not have made us feel anymore welcome. Breakfast was an incredible event with delicious homemade food that I highly recommend. Don't miss out on this B&B!

My son and I recently stayed in the Maybell Cottage at The Daniel Rust House while in CT visiting colleges. The innkeepers, Cathy and Germaine were wonderful hosts. It felt like a stay with family or long-time friends and the breakfast was fabulous. Just wish we could have stayed longer and can't wait to go back for another visit...
5 out of 5Wonderful historic inn
August 06, 2012
We were in Storrs visiting family, and found the Daniel Rust inn almost by accident. We stayed only one night--wished it were longer! Germaine and Kathy are gracious hosts who truly love their historic home and seem to genuinely enjoy sharing it with guests. Our room (the Mary Rose room) was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. Breakfast was exceptional. The grounds are gorgeous, beautifully maintained and very peaceful. We were sorry to leave and will definitely be back!

5 out of 5A peaceful hidaway
July 09, 2012
I just had the opportunity to visit yet once again, the lovely Daniel Rust House. I had stayed there some 12 years ago, before the current owners. However, Germaine and Cathy were truly wonderful host's. The breakfast was wonderful and the breakfast room was decorated so beautiful!. I felt as if I were in an old English Mansion. My breakfast guest, Prudence, was a adorable white baby cat who clearly had the run of the home. My accomodations were truly beautiful and not a detail was missed. The tour of the home and the history was an added attraction. I will surely return to this very quaint escape. It was a very peaceful, calm, quiet stay.
5 out of 5Serendipity
April 03, 2012
For a recent trip to the area I had planned to stay at a conventional hotel. Because I was pupsitting, however, I needed a pet-friendly place. And that's where I got lucky. Had I not been keeping the dog, I would never have discovered this absolute gem of a (pet-loving) place. All the requisite adjectives of charm, loveliness, and impeccable housekeeping apply, but the real heart of the house is the pair of Innkeepers. Cathy and Germaine are gifted with an uncanny ability to make their guests immediately comfortable, and truly "at home." Aside from their own personal warmth, they were remarkably accommodating (no pun intended) in exceptional circumstances, making it seem like no big deal at all. This is the absolute only choice if you plan a stay in the area. Um, and I think they'll even let you come if you don't have a pet. ;)
5 out of 5A Little Piece Of Heaven!
September 06, 2011
Wow, Wow, Wow..... my partner & I (along with our two Maltese) just spent Labor Day weekend at the Daniel Rust House and I can assure you it truly is a little piece of heaven. Germaine & Cathy welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home from beginning to end. Speaking of home, this home is so unique with something to admire in every little corner. Breakfast was absolutely amazing, they brought surprise after surprise!!! The grounds are spectacular and beautifully maintained. We cannot wait for our return visit. If you are visiting Connecticut we would most definately recommend a stay at The Daniel Rust House, you'll be glad you did it!!!
4.8 out of 5A great weekend!
August 21, 2011
We had a wonderful weekend at the Daniel Rust House! Cathy and Germaine were so sweet and hospitable. We especially loved that they took the time to give us a historical tour of the house. We stayed in the Mary Rose Room - it was great. They even left the best homemade snickerdoodles we've ever had in our room. Breakfast was INCREDIBLE. Three amazing couses, each one fresh and served on beautiful platters. We will definitely be coming back!
