Enjoy Premier New England Attractions Near Our Connecticut Bed And Breakfast Inn
From antiques to whale watching, Saybrook Point Inn & Spa offers a
luxury gateway to the treasures of New England. Nestled at the mouth
of the Connecticut River, in the historic town of Old Saybrook, we're
one of the premier waterfront New England bed and breakfast inns. Try
your luck at the Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods casinos. Test your handicap
at a local golf course. Take the kids on a tour of the Connecticut
River Valley on an authentic steam train or scale the walls of Gillette
Castle, a medieval-style fortress designed by creative genius William
Gillette. Comb for shells at Harvey's Beach or Rocky Neck State Park or
hop aboard a Mystic whaler for a lobster dinner cruise. A vast playground
of possibilities is only minutes from our
Connecticut bed and breakfast. To learn more
