Boardman House Inn Bed & Breakfast 餐館旅館民宿早餐店

We stayed here because it was walking distance from The Goodspeed Opera House and a few miles from Norma Terris. We were aware that they no longer serve breakfast - the two places they recommended were fine. Parking on the premisis is a plus. We prefer to stay at a typical B&B where you can meet interesting folks at breakfast, and where the innkeepers greet you upon your arrival and stay to chat after they serve breakfast, but the location is a huge plus.

First time here, for a wedding right up the road, close to the Godspeed and gelston house - appears to be the "center" of everything - not much else around but great views and accommodations, as mentioned no breakfast here so plan ahead - dunkin and a few places right up the road and delivery, fridge in main room when you first walk in as well as a coffee maker, best if you have the whole house, in my opinion, as we did, I think except one room that may have been already booked, cozy, stairs are a bit rough if you stay on the top floor if you have issues maneuvering stairs but really can do everything on first floor without issue parking in back also tough on stairs from main entrance if you have issues. That said it is a historic house and beautiful in and out, it is a historic mansion as mentioned so don't go in thinking room service etc.... Great place to stay and delivery available for food, nice wine shop across the road, everything in town a short walk all pretty much right there and drive to other attractions, again its not Disney land but quaint and charming. We stayed in the queen room top floor again all we needed for the 2 night stay, the bride and groom stayed in the Garden room very nice first floor and nice porch over looking the backyard/garden area. Keepers were hands off which I prefer, we had our keys and instructions for parking left for us and room had newer re-modeled bathroom heated floors very nice, we had the keepers cell and from what I read here they are on the property - I am sure if we needed something it would be attended to, no closet in our room which again not a big deal just mentioning, chest of drawers for storage overall very nice and we would return

Although it no longer serves breakfast, it's a beautiful inn with stunning period detail & modern elements seamlessly worked in. Spotless & beautifully situated, a 5-minute walk from two good restaurants, a delicious ice-cream place, historic graveyard, & best of all the fabulous productions at the Goodspeed Opera House. Terrific views from the back porch just outside our room, coffee all day, courtesy fridge at the coffee station, complementary water & two lovely sitting rooms. Seamless check-in/check-out. Met the charming innkeepers (by accident), who are from Sweden & totally dedicated. Convenient to all other area attractions & very Covid-safe (you never have to encounter other people in the building if you don't want to). Great toiletries & good water pressure. Despite interaction with the owners intended to be remote, felt extremely welcomed.

Stayed at the Boardman House Inn B&B for 3 nites for our Anniversary. It was great! Place we stayed was the Garden Suite. Loved the place had everything we needed even extra towels. Had our own entrance & a porch to sit. Found places to go to around also. So glad I found this place.

My wife and I stayed here for three nights for our anniversary and it was everything we were hoping for. It is a beautiful old house and we had the Garden suite which was a beautiful two room suite with our own entrance, large bathroom and a really nice sitting area. Mia was very helpful with anything we needed. The dining options were one we could walk to and others just 5 minutes away. There were museums and wineries in the area to visit during the day. The Gillette Castle was very close and well worth a visit. A great place to stay if you are going to the local Opera House for a play.

Everything about Boardman House is comfortable and elegant. The common rooms and the private rooms are beautifully appointed and so relaxing to be in. The detail of the decor is impressive and restful. The owner was welcoming and friendly. We would definitely stay there again for a romantic getaway.

The house, location, and room were excellent. The walk to the River, Gelston Reastaurant and Goodspeed Opera house is within five minutes. So are the Higher Grounds coffee/cafe and Swingbridge Wine and Spirits. There is only one B to the B&B so breakfast is not included. It's an easy walk to the old cemetery and the school house were Nathan Hale taught in the 1700's. Mia is the very pleasant and accommodating owner who is readily available but isn't there to greet you on arrival. Would definitely stay again.

This was my second review at this property and, like the first, it was nice. The bedding is very comfortable and the property very quiet. There is no breakfast service anymore which is a mixed blessing. The breakfast they used to serve was poor so we felt like we weren't missing anything. There is also no room service during your stay which is really not acceptable. Other than that, it's a great place to stay for a weekend in East Haddam.

The Boardman House is architecturally stunning and beautifully appointed (and very clean!!!) I travel frequently for work and always prefer boutique places over chain hotel (much more homey). I was so pleased the inn matched its photos and positive reviews. The heated floors and towel warmer in the bathroom were an unexpected treat! I have read the reviews about the proprietor not being available or responsive...I texted Mia and within minutes she was downstairs to meet me. She is an absolutely lovely woman and we had a wonderful conversation; we hugged when I left. I have stayed at many B&Bs throughout New England and I would rate this as my favorite. As far as no longer serving breakfast, it is stated on the website, and for me a non issue. This is a family run business (for over 20 years) and Mia and her husband do most of work, which I imagine is far from easy. I plan to return when in the area for work and plan to come for fun too. Highly recommend. I stayed in the Corner Room (as on a corporate budget), which was quiet and private.
