Stonecroft Country Inn

As part of the Select Registry family of places to stay, we hoped it was all that and more. After phoning the staff, Jodie met us and shied us to our room. It all appeared wonderful, cozy and clean. We took a few minutes to acquaint ourselves with the room amenities and operate the tv, fireplace, bathroom fixtures and more. The important notices are mattress, pillows and cleanliness. Great mattress in the LILY room, pillows were too flat, so, multiples are required and those toss pillows don’t count. Great sleep, woke at 6 am, excited for another Fall day in CT. My husband likes to ‘make’ the bed but I chose to draw all the bedding to the end of the bed so the staff would know to change the sheets. That’s when I saw ALL the soiled strains: old, yellowed and disgusting. It’s ironic that the innkeepers promote a brand of sheets for folks to purchase yet our sheets were thin, stained and should have been tossed weeks ago. I’m not sure who housekeepers are and fail to know how these stains were missed. Then, after enjoying a couple of mugs of kuerig coffee, my husband put me on notice that the water pressure was almost a trickle. We decided to pack up and headed down to breakfast where the innkeeper alerted us that the plumber was on his way to check the well. At that point, I informed Jodie about those stained sheets and she explained them away. That’s it, the property is 5 miles up the road from Mystic and secluded and quiet. These innkeepers acquired property’s during Covid and it’s a huge undertaking to oversee and maintain all these rooms by themselves. I respect their mission.

I lived in New England for 12 years and I came back for a visit after 22 years of living in Florida. The place to go to see Fall foilage is New England. There is nothing like it in the US. You wind thru all the backroads full of the most beautiful colorful trees with the leaves scattering with every small wind. Then you get to the Stonecroft Inn in Leyward. Built in 1807 you can still feel the vibe of the time as you go up the stairs in the Big Barn building to the top floor where two large rooms reside. Huge king bed slathered in quality sheets and huge pillows. Turn on the fireplace and sit on the fluffy overstuffed leather couch or open the back patio door and take in the grandeur of the Fall. Huge bathroom with a bidet, whirlpool tub and massive shower. Then the breakfast in the dining room which holds 10 tables is surrounded by a stone wall from the 1807 era with a huge fireplace and windows that overlook the Fall foilage. The owners do a wonderful job on the breakfast and the coffee is quite good. I highly recommend paying a visit in the Summer and Fall. It is close to Mystic Seaport where there is lots of restaurants and attractions.

I can’t say enough about this bed-and-breakfast Not only are the rooms exquisite, but the ambience surrounding the entire property and the buildings themselves are exceptional The owners are hands-on and extremely nice and welcoming You will not be disappointed This is our third time back

What an amazing experience from the time you walk thru the doors. Incredibly clean. Huge comfortable rooms. Beautifully decorated. Inn keeper was super friendly. Breakfast room is so beautiful. Food was delicious. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to return.

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The room we stayed in was luxurious, the beds were plush and comfortable, and the whirlpool tub was a dream! The grounds are gorgeous, the inn is nestled into a charming wooded neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby tourist areas but still only a short drive from any place you might want to visit. The breakfasts were divine and we felt so cared for by the innkeepers and the chef! We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated in every way. Huge thanks to Jodie & Scott (and your sweet pup Tanner!) for making our vacation so memorable, we are incredibly grateful for the level of care that you put into making our stay as comfortable as possible! We will definitely be visiting here again! -Micaela and Molly
