4.2 out of 5A great getaway
May 11, 2013
The inn was chariming, the innkeeper a gracious hostess, the breakfast fabulous. Details were nice additions: the alarm clock had had an ipod dock and there were robes in the closet. The gardens and bird feeders were also a great place to sit and relax. Madison is a great little town to wander through. Beaches are near. Choices of resturants in the area are broad from the local coffeeshop/luncheonette, to the cafe in the book store, to the hotel on the beach... It was a nice getaway, not too far from NYC, but far enough to know that I had really been away!

4.2 out of 5We had a great weekend there
October 25, 2012
We just came back from a great weekend at the Tidewater Inn in Madison, CT. We had the Bushnell room, and the overall impression was very good, even though the place could use a little TLC, especially in the bathroom. What made the entire stay exceptional was Victoria's qualities as an innkeeper. From the warm welcome, to the late afternoon cheese and wine in front of the fireplace to the delicious breakfast she made us feel welcome and "at home". She also provided excellent advice on restaurant choices and even made reservations for us. Thanks to her, it was a very memorable weekend for us.

The Tidewater Inn was delightful! Perfect location to be able to walk to dinner in town. The owner, Victoria, was a wonderful hostess who had great knowledge of the area and suggestions on what to do! The breakfast at the Inn was excellent and the rooms were very nice and stocked with good amenities! The gardens were lovely and so was Victoria! I highly recommend The Tidewater Inn.
5 out of 5Everything a B & B should be and more
September 03, 2012
We always hope for a comfortable bed, good breakfast and pleasant innkeeper. The Tidewater Inn exceeded our expectations. My husband and I stayed in the Meigs room. It was small but had lots of drawer space (a surprise in a B & B), closet space and good reading lamps. The linens were just what I like - clean crisp and not too fussy. My sister stayed in the Madison Suite which was large, comfortable and had a sofa and a refrigerator with water, soft drinks and snacks. These amenities were available for the other rooms just down the hall. Victoria was the most informed and helpful innkeeper ever. She told us about places to go, things to see and where to eat. She even directed us to a beautiful beach walk when we told her we wanted a 2 mile walk before breakfast. All of her recommendations were exactly right. In the afternoon she served good wine and cheese. There is not enough time to write about the food. I'll just say it was the best we've ever had in a B & B and we have stayed in many both in this country and in England. Victoria loves to cook and uses fresh fruits and vegetable from local farms whenever possible. Fortunately we were there at the right season. On top of that everything was beautifully presented. I would highly recommend this Inn to anyone and can't wait to go back. Lucy and Harry, Chattanooga, TN

August 27, 2012
My wife and I spent three days with Victoria at the Tidewater Inn following a wedding in Madison. The accomodations were very nice, the breakfast excellent, and Victoria was as generous a host as I can imagine. The afternoon wine and cheese was particularly enjoyable. We would definitely return to the Tidewater Inn.

Signature Dish
California Egg Puff
California Egg Puff, one of our favorite hot entrees, is a delicious baked oven omellette that mixes eggs, several types of cheese and just the right amount of mild green chili peppers to be flavorful but not too spicy. Your breakfast always starts with a fruit course and cereal is always available. Along with the daily hot entree, we serve a toast or baked good, and a breakfast meat such as bacon or sausage. Coffee, tea, decaf, and juice complete the picture.Additional food services
