    My wife and I wanted a quiet weekend away from the kids for our tenth anniversary, and Mary and John gave us just what we wanted. We stayed in the Deacon Gray Room and had a wonderful time, just talking and having no technology to bother us. The fireplace is a great added touch and the peace and quiet that surrounds the place is magnificent! Plus as an added bonus, you are only minutes from Mystic and from Foxwoods. I would definitely recommend Lower Farm to my friends!

    The rooms are quaint and very clean. The property is lovely. The hosts, husband and wife, are very nice. They serve a hearty breakfast (by a fireplace) -- we did not need lunch after that. And the food was fresh and tasty.

    My wife and I welcomed the immediate, warm attention given by the Wilskas upon arrival to the Lower Farm B&B ... the hot beverages and oatmeal cookies hit the spot! Our room was southeast facing and allowed for plenty of sunshine which we thought was great! The bed was firm and comfortable. With teenagers in our home, the quietness of the Inn was much appreciated.

    Very comfortable inn with great surroundings. Well restored building. Innkeepers couldn't have been more friendly and gracious. Much information on the history of the farm and restoration of the house and grounds from the innkeepers. Would definitely go back.
