    My husband and I visited the Wallingford Victorian in October 2010. We stayed in the Georgianna suite. I looked out my turret style windows, in a rocking chair, and observed a beautiful tree beginning to change colors. The room was spacious and comfortable. The bed was very inviting. We had a great breakfast and lots of fun talking with the innkeepers, Brenda and Jeff. We will definitely return in the near future. Everything was outstanding. Highly recommended. Stop by if you have a chance.

    Charming B&B in a nice town (Wallingford CT). Walking distance to everything. They also have very nice extended stay accommodations for longer-term stays, including a great 2-bedromm duplex apartment that's like a real home.

    My husband and I recently celebrated our Anniversary at the Wallingford Victorian Bed and Breakfast. We have been married 16 yrs and have never stayed at a B&B before. It's a luxury to sneek away for some quiet time together, and honestly we were never tempted to be in a community setting for our 'alone' time. However, we were pleasantly surprised with every aspect of our trip! The Inn is absolutely charming and simply beautiful. We stayed in the Samuel Suite and it was spacious, had a private entrance to the Inn, and the best part was that it was very close to the Dining Room. When I researched which B&B to book I had come across this Inn and was impressed with the reviews of Dave and Becky. Well, the Inn has new owners, Brenda and Jeff, and we were one of their first new guests. We would give them both 5 star reviews! They were great hosts and went the extra mile to make our first experience at a B&B very memorable. My husband is a breakfast lover and he was overwhelmed at the lovely breakfast. Brenda even made him pancakes which was not an item on the breakfast menu. The town is such a charming town and it is like stepping back in time to old New England. We walked the town and then enjoyed a massage at a local spa (Body and Soul) and it was worth every penny! We will definately be going back in the future, and now consider Brenda and Jeff not just Inn Keepers but also new friends. Praying for God to bless their family and this new endeavor.

    It was a pleasure to stay at this beautiful Victorian. Becky and Dave were very friendly and very helpful with maps and suggestions on where to go in the area. We have a great time and would definately return.

    We had a fantastic stay at this charming B&B. Our room was huge and well-maintained, and this gorgeous Victorian house is located minutes from several great restaurants and bars. We'd stay here again!
