    Had most wonderful stay back in May this year,would like to have stayed longer. Fascinating home,loved all Michaels collections,something different to see each day when coming down for breakfast. very accomodating host,made sure of our comfort,and a brilliant chef,superb breakfasts. Room delightful and very comfortable bed. Nice little balcony off this room which we sat on for our cuppa . How English!!Beautiful quiet location,and a nice stroll around the village with a geocache find as a bonus. So peacful to just sit in the gardens of the Inn. No distance to drive down to Mystic.

    You Will Enjoy This Place!

    August 18, 2010

    My wife and I are from western New York State and spent three days in the Robert Frost Room. The Old Mystic Inn is located in a very quaint village that seems out of the way when you are there but, in reality is very close to many wonderful attractions. If you want quiet, the grounds and surrounding area are perfect for sitting, reading or walking around. The local townspeople are quite friendly and helpful. Our host, Michael Cardillo, cares for every detail of this beautiful place and made our stay exceptional. He made us feel right at home, gave very helpful suggestions as to how to enjoy the local area and made gourmet breakfasts that we thoroughly enjoyed and will never forget. From the website, we formed some pretty high expectations about this place (which is why we chose it in the first place). We were more than satisfied with our choice and expect to return someday.

    Cozy and romantic inn

    May 28, 2010

    My husband and I stayed at the inn in September of 2009, and from first arrival were greeted with a warmth that made us feel like we were staying at a friend's home. The grounds are beautiful and our room(the Henry David Thoreau room) was comfortably furnished and very true to the period of it's namesake. The breakfast's were incredible and Michael went out of his way to see that our vegetarian dishes (a special accomodation, not the normal fare) were delicious and elegant. He also bakes daily and it was most welcome to come back after a day's excursion around town to find the scrumptuous treat he had prepared. The 'common rooms' each have their own charm and are full of lovely items that have been painstakingly collected to add to the coziness of the room. Words cannot express how much we enjoyed our stay here. We will definitely be back again and would recommend this inn most highly.

    Away from the hustle and bustle (noise!) of downtown Mystic, but minutes away from all Mystic has to offer. Incredible breakfasts!

    Beautiful & Comfortable B&B!

    February 15, 2009

    My husband and I stayed in the Emily Dickinson room and our friends in the Herman Melville. We had the parlor between also, so it was like a suite. The rooms were lovely, clean and very cozy. Michael and the staff did a great job making us feel welcome. The breakfast was delicious and all the little extras like the cookies, coffee, tea etc. were such a nice touch. We felt like we had use of a friend's whole house!We look forward to another visit!
