Boardman House B&B

This is probably the most luxurious B & B we've ever encountered: elegant, beautifully appointed, graciously hosted. It's ideal for a visit to Goodspeed.

What a lovely B&B - Mia is a wonderful hostess and the home is beautiful. We stayed in the Corner Room and loved everything about it - from the very comfortable bed to the heated towel rack in the bathroom. It's in a perfect spot - short walk to the theater and restaurant. We also enjoyed a short ride down to Gillette Castle Park and a beautiful morning of hiking. We'll definitely be back.

It was a wonderful stay with comfortable bed & heated bathroom tiles and towel warming rack. Breakfast was a simple European breakfast and lovely.

A beautiful place to be, very relaxing and short 20-30 mins drive to most nearby town. The only down side is house by the road side, can hear the noise of traffic passing by. The rooms and the hospitality of our lovely innkeeper - It's a 5 stars B&B.

We knew nothing about this spot when we booked the room. It is absolutely beautifully done and the service is impeccable. They have thought of every detail. Radiant floor heat in the bathroom, towel warmers. wonderful fixtures. We will definitely come back. Waliking distance from the Goodspeed theater, which is not to be missed! Good luck to the owners of this B&B. They deserve to be successful for their hard work.

We stayed here for two nights in September 2011 and enjoyed the thoroughly restored Boardman house with its exquisitely furnished rooms. The innkeepers, Mia and André made us feel very much at home. Everything was neat and clean and Mia served a healthy and delicious breakfast. The house is located near the Goodspeed Opera House and is a great starting point for tours around Connecticut River and the coast. We can fully recommend this B&B house.

the Boardman House, and would stay again without any consideration, will also recommend to friends. This B&B is done to perfection, from the warm hello, to the beautifully appointed room...........and all other areas. We were so impressed with everything about the Boadman House, we have stayed in many B&Bs all over, this one is right at the top, breakfast was exactly what we wanted. Thanks for the owners for such a memorable stay.

We stayed in the Corner Room here for a night after a family wedding and were very pleased with our choice. The room was the perfect size and decorated very nicely. It was modern but still had that old New England feel. I would definitely recommend this Inn. The innkeepers are very nice and we really enjoyed our stay!

My wife and I stayed in the Garden Suite during a visit to the Goodspeed Opera Theater (also a must). The Boardman House is elegant in its refurbished and restored 1890's mansion design, its immaculately restored antique furnishings, the comfort of its rooms and the charm of its hosts. A must-visit for anyone in this region of Connecticut.

I chose the Boardman House to get ready for my wedding at and stayed that night with my husband. Mia is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and was there to help with anything me, the photographers, the florist, my friends,etc. I chose the garden suite and it is sublime. I room is immaculate and the bed is so soft and comfortable that I did not want to get out of bed the next morning. The breakfast was delicious and Mia made sure that we had everything we could need. I am definetly looking forward to staying again, especially since I didn't want to leave :) Thankyou so much Mia, everything was divine and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. The champagne and chocolate were wonderful to come back to after our wedding :) we will see you again soon! Much love!

My friend and I had the pleasure of spending a two night get-away at the Boardman House. We had tickets for the Goodspeed Opera House, and decided to stay in this elegant bed and breakfast. The house was furnished painstakingly with antiques and objects of beauty. We had the corner room, which had one of the most comfortable king sized beds I have ever slept on. The bathroom was ample with a wonderful shower, and large comfortable towels that smelled so fresh. You share an ample outside deck with one other room. Comfortable wicker furniture makes it ideal for reading or viewing the lovely garden. Breakfast was perfect with the freshest fruits, yogurt and breads. The best part of the Boardman House was the hospitable innkeepers. Mia was so very kind and knowledgeable about the area. She even showed us the other rooms available for the next time we are lucky enough to spend a night. Very highly recommended in every area.

A most comfortable, quiet and pleasant place to stay and within easy walking to the Goodspeed Opera House and some restaurants. Our hostess was most cheery and helpful.

The Boardman House is everything that a B&B should be-comfortable, clean and elegant. Mia, the owner, was very gracious and sought to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Breakfast was continental but the breads and pastry were freshly made and delicious. My wife and I intend to return when we attend our next show at the Goodspeed Opera House, which is within walking distance.

We enjoyed the garden suite. Quit place, beautiful porch, excellent breakfast, very friendly innkeeper. Only a little walk to the Goodspeed-House and to the restaurants.

It was my husband's birthday and I booked for one night only just so we would not have to drive home after a full day..play at the Goodspeed Opera house and dinner afterwards. This elegantly restored old family mansion is a true delight. The antique furnishings made us feel as though we were stepping back in time..but the bathroom was modern and beautifully tiled. Breakfast was made to order so we could choose our time. Mia is a lovely hostess and we look forward to seeing her again.

The Boardman House B&B is the type of place that you would drive by and want to look inside because it's so elegant and enticing on the outside. Luckily, your desire to stay in an 1800's mansion can be fulfilled by staying here. It was very nicely decorated and I never would have known that the owners, Mia and Andre, had recently put a lot of work into it. It has tall ceilings and antique furnishings, but all of the modern comforts you could ask for. Mia and Andre are from Europe and provide an excellent European-style breakfast. Don't expect pancakes and eggs, instead you will be enjoying meats, cheeses and yogurt. It was very tasty and we enjoyed the experience we had there. I'm not sure when or if we'll be back to East Haddam, as we're from Colorado and it's a long ways away, but if we do return, we'll make sure to book a room at the Boardman House.

This was our first stay at the Boardman House B&B. In fact, it was recommended by another B&B that happened to be full for this past weekend. EastHaddam, CT is a small town with limited rooms. We visit our son and grand daughter about once a year, so we'd seen the old Boardman house, when it was in a shabby condition, long before Mia and Andre took over. We can only imagine the amount of work that they did to make it look so spectacular. We'd certainly come back, even though we live in Colorado.

My husband and I visited the Boardman House B&B for the second time because our first experience at The Boardman B&B was so wonderful, we were anxious to return.. This last experience was just as wonderful as the first, the only thing that was even better on this visit was the weather! The house in itself is a historical journey in European antiques and 19th Century architecure! This home is the finest RESTORATION of a true Victorian mansion! The host and hostess (Mia and Andre') are so gracious and friendly and their hospitality exceeds all expectation! The home is meticulous and the breakfast surpassed all our expectation! We can't wait to return this summer!

The Boardman House is a gem situated a few steps from the crown jewel known as The Goodspeed Opera House. I stayed in the beautifully decorated "corner room" which had a king size comfy bed. Breakfast was cheerfully prepared by Mia and ready in the dining room at my requested time. I will definitely return. And return. And return.

My daughter and I stayed here on a Mother-Daughter trip, and could not have picked a better place! The rooms were luxurious, beautifully decorated in the period, and yet stylishly modernized right down to the towel warmer in the bathroom and the flat screen TV! The room and bed were extremely comfortable. Mia's ability to provide privacy while making you feel right at home is a true art. She was delightful to talk to, and referred us to several great shops and restaurants in the surrounding areas. We would definately go back here. The only negative I can offer is that staying here will definately make it difficult to stay at any other B&B! I don't think any other Bed & Breakfast can possibly compare to this one! I can't wait to go back and stay here again!

My Mother and I had a wonderful weekend here and it was perfect!!! Mia is amazing and was so incredibly warm and helpful. My Mother usually prefers staying in hotels over B and B's but this really is a luxury home. Mia and her Husband have restored this gorgeous mansion and their attention to detail really shows. I can't say enough about this beautiful place! Ralph Lauren bedding, king size beds, heated towel racks, and were just a few of the custom touches. We stayed in the Garden Suite which was wonderful because we had our own private entrance and could park right in front of our room, though Mia was nice enough to show us the other rooms and all of them were equally beautiful and had their own individual charm. We settled on the Garden Suite because it had a separate sitting room as well as a bathtub but the other rooms were really lovely. Mia was prepared to bake us homemade bread for breakfast (though we declined because we were so full from a big dinner (the night before!) but just all around a very warm and inviting and BEAUTIFUL place to stay! The breakfast menu was extensive and looked delicious) We will stay here again! Also a short walk from the Good speed Opera House!

The Boardman house is an architectural delight that is both elegant and eat-off-the-floor clean. Mia and Andre are welcoming and their pride-of-ownership is evident throughout this wonderfully-restored property steps away from the Goodspeed Opera House. If you appreciate fine furnishings, color and architecture, this beautiful B&B is a destination. The king-size bed in the Garden Suite is truly fit-for-a-king. Although December, the freshly-cut fruit served at breakfast was summer-fresh. During breakfast we had an engaging chat with Andre about the history of the Boardman House which can be likened to a phoenix rising from the flames. The Boardman House is an all-around gem.

Three friends decided to do a spontaneous getaway to Connecticut. We chose the Boardman House B&B and were extremely pleased with our choice. One of the best parts was our conversations with the owners who were very passionate about their B&B and it showed in the quality of the renovations and warm intereactions with us.

My husband and I had a great time visiting Boardman House. The house and room was beautiful and very clean. The owners are very nice and the breakfast was delicious. Five star bed and breakfast. :)

My mother and I stayed at Boardman House B&B last week. What a wonderful place to stay! Very luxurious to say the least. The baths are clean and modern, the beds were very comfortable and the host Mia and Andre were very nice and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to step back in time to a Victorian home and experience luxury. We were only a short walk from the Goodspeed Opera House and a couple of restaurants. Very convenient for us. Thank you Andre and Mia!!

My wife and I spent our anniversary weekend at The Boardman House in the eponymous Boardman Room and it was absolutely perfect! The house has been newly and beautifully renovated with a deft attention to details that really makes your stay feel luxurious--such as the remote-control for an inaccessible window shade--while staying true to the architecture. It is located just a few houses away from the Goodspeed Opera House, the Connecticut River, and several restaurants so you have everything you need in one place. But, there is plenty more to do in the surrounding area as well. The innkeepers, Andre and Mia, were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ample and delicious. (Don't miss out on Mia's freshly baked bread!) The price was right. In short, if you're looking for a B&B in the area around Goodspeed, you can't do better than Boardman House. We'll definitely be staying again! I realize I don't have any negative criticism, but it really was that good.
