Interior Photos of a Connecticut Bed and Breakfast

We welcome you inside our historic Connecticut mansion that is now a New England bed and breakfast. The Seaman-Brush house was first built in 1843, and renovated in 1900 by architect Stanford White and completed in 1906.

While every room in our New England bed and breakfast tells a story of the history of this gorgeous house, our common areas are open for visits to all our guests. Be sure to look at the detailed craftsmanship of the wainscoting and plasterwork throughout the common areas and in some of the rooms in the older portions of the house.

Our dining room, parlors and reception area are all laid-out in front of you when you enter our beautifully-crafted front entry-way. Enjoy a delicious breakfast or afternoon tea in our dining room or relax with a good book (or laptop) in one of our parlors before you enjoy a stroll around our grounds and outdoor swimming pool. However you decide to enjoy the peaceful serenity of our bed and breakfast near New York City, you are most welcome!

Dining Room

The dining room of our bed & breakfast was the house’s dining room when it was a private home as well as a post-World War II hotel. We still have a copy of the menu and dish ware from that time. It’s sunny and bright and has a lovely view of the pool, patio, and gardens to the south of the house. The dining room of our classic Connecticut bed and breakfast is where we serve our complimentary buffet and a-la carte breakfast.

Library

The Library, themed with red accents, is where you’ll find:

board games
record player and records
books
magazines
a working parlor organ (a Pearson family relic)

Curling up by the gas fireplace in this room is a great way to enjoy our romantic bed and breakfast with a loved one. This parlor can be closed-off for small conferences of up to twelve people.

: The library is a cozy place to read in the winter months, especially with the fire lit

: The library is where guests will find books, board games, records to play on the record player in the living room, and the family’s organ from England

Living Room

The Living Room, themed with gold accents, adjoins the dining room and provides direct access to the patio and pool. Bright and airy, this parlor is a favorite among many visitors to our CT bed and breakfast.

Reception Area

The reception area of our B&B is located in the foyer of the house, directly in front of the main door. Our actual front desk is located in the former site of a very cramped bathtub!
