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.

Victoria is a attentive host, offering surprising little ammenties to all who rent a room -- a delicious, food-magazine-cover-worthy breakfast, an evening glass of wine with cheeses (plus other assorted goodies), complimentary use of beach chairs and towels, and RESPECT for privacy. We plan to go back in the wintertime and take advantage of the Inn's Wine Experience package. The only drawback was we stayed in the smallest room at the Inn and it was the only one left for the weekend -- but we did book less than a week in advance.
A Wonderful Experience !

I stayed two nights in June 2011 at the Tidewater Inn along with several other family members. Decor was Victorian and elegant but warm and comfortable. The table for breakfast was beautifully set, and meal changed daily with homemade muffins,scones, scrambled eggs etc. We were offered wine (for later in the day), and dishes of chocolate (truffles, Dove bites) were available 24/7. Also had refrigerator stocked with candy, soda and bottled water free for guests. The guest rooms were all different. Mine had a canopy bed (extremely comfortable mattress/important because I have a bad back), my sister's room had a gigantic king size 4 poster bed. A step stool was provided to climb into the bed. And another room had two twin beds. We all had our cable TV and free wireless. The Innkeeper Victoria K took good care of us. This is a quiet and relaxing place. It is not for the noisy and rowdy. Guest rooms are located upstairs and downstairs. (Downstair rooms near the outside entrance to the building). When we left Sunday morning about 8:30 am, approximately 6 or 7 of us filled up the entrance way. Victoria K placed finger to lips and advised that guests were still sleeping, so we 'quieted down' (as they say in my neck of the woods). This nine bedroom B & B is lovely, peaceful and guests are well attended. This B&B gets a great recommendation from me.
Great for business travelers and to explore CT shore

I'm always traveling solo, and when I do I always choose to stay at B&Bs. Some are better than others at accommodating business travelers, and when I find those that really understand business travelers needs, I always go back over and over. The Tidewater Inn caters to business travelers. Everything I needed was right there - a desk with good light, a TV, free wi-fi and parking, early breakfast (if I wanted, but didn't need it this time), and a lovely wine and cheese reception at the end of the day. Victoria, the innkeeper and owner, offers a welcoming greeting and some of the most delicious cheese I've ever had. I met another single woman traveling on business and together we marveled at how nice it is to come "home" at the end of the day to such a comfortable and relaxing place. The gardens were in full bloom, and there are great spots to sit and enjoy a glass of wine or morning coffee tucked in secret places accessed through greenery-covered arbors. There are also great beaches nearby, and I learned that the inn offers beach passes, parking passes, towels and umbrellas for guests' use. Nice! Mystic and all of the CT shoreline are easily accessible from here too. It's a place I'd go back and vacation with my husband. I heartily recommend the Tidewater Inn to business travelers, leisure travelers and families with older kids.
