I drove by the Copper Beech Inn countless times when I lived in Old Saybrook and Essex but only stayed there recently after selling my house and in need of accommodation. What a lovely historic inn! My room in the Comstock building to the rear of the main building was elegant in a Regency style, with a most comfortable king bed, a large seating area, desk, well-designed domestic space for coffee preparation, and a very practical small refrigerator. The bathroom was large and well-appointed with a separate bathtub and tiled walk-in shower. I found this room to be one of the most thoughtfully laid out and handsomely decorated I have experienced, right up there with the Williamsburg Inn. Even better were the Copper Beech's public rooms and notably the distinctive Craftsman style interiors which house the lobby, restaurant, and impressive rectangular bar with a copper surface. A substantial breakfast is served on the extensive covered porch, and the main dining room is open for dinner over the weekend. The food and beverage selection is excellent and very reasonably priced for the dishes, cocktails, and wines on offer. The service at breakfast and dinner was impeccable. The rooms in the Comstock House and the architectural ambiance of the main building's dining spaces represent a happy marriage of the Regency and Craftsman styles. Together with excellent service, this unique combination makes the Copper Beech Inn a property not to be missed.

This is a Victorian style house set back on a large property. There are two other buildings at the back of the main house. There is a lovely garden between the house and other buildings.

This is a Victorian style house set back on a large property. There are two other buildings at the back of the main house. There is a lovely garden between the house and other buildings. GPS lists it as being in Essex so it was a little difficult to find. When I booked my room on the website, there was no mention of multiple buildings. I thought my room was in the main house. It was not. That was disappointing. The room I had was simple but very clean. It also had a very spacious bathroom. The biggest complaint I had was that the room description stated that there was a queen bed in the room. It was a full size bed and the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. For the prices they charge this should not have been an issue. Our two day stay included breakfast which was served is a lovely sunroom. The breakfast was adequate. My husband said the coffee was good That’s very important to him. Staff was polite and helpful. Although the inn was unique and very pretty I do not think I would return. Just a little too expensive.
