Connecticut is Lookin' Real Good During This Heat Wave!








Deacon Timothy Pratt B & B in Old Saybrook!
Step back in time and enjoy the splendor of yesteryear in this charming, circa 1746, National Historic Register home in the heart of Old Saybrook's historic and shopping districts. Located in historic district on pretty gas-lit Main street walking distance to quaint shops, restaurants, cafes, spas, town green, ice skating pond, and the water.

Enjoy spacious elegant period-style rooms, featuring our award winning decor, and each with a working fireplace, a jacuzzi-whirlpool tub, private bath, cable TV, comfortable sitting area, AC, stereo/CD player, phone/modem line and a Queen size 4-poster or canopy bed! High speed wireless is available in the main house.

An elegant breakfast is served in the fireplaced dining room on fine china and silver by candle light. Complimentary port wine, tea, spring water, and cookies are always available; as well as a guest refrigerator. Our fireplaced parlor is also a comfortable place to enjoy our refreshments, or read by the fire, or play chess, checkers or one of our games. Relax in our picturesque grounds with beautiful gardens, inviting sitting areas, a fountain, a 300 year old sugar maple with swing, and a 2-person rope hammock.

From the B & B take a scenic stroll along the water past the historic homes and scenic views of North and South Cove, Saybrook Point, and Fenwick. Watch the sun set over the ocean, or take a walk at Fort Saybrook Monument Park or out to one of Old Saybrook's lighthouses.

A Wonderful Addition to your stay with us: The James Gallery & Soda Fountain On the National Historic Register and Connecticut Freedom Trail... and only steps away! It dates back to 1790 when it was originally part of an inn. Today we continue the tradition of the Pratt family hospitality. It will add to your choice of lovely guest rooms and also features an art gallery, gift shop and original 1896 soda fountain where you can enjoy some old fashioned ice cream favorites!

We are also located across the street from an old house museum and pillared white church. Beautiful area for walking, bicycling, antiquing and scenic drives along the CT River and Long Island Sound. One mile to beaches, 2 lighthouses, waterfront dining, waterfront historic walking park, waterfront golf, & waterfront mini-golf. Beach passes, maps and advice provided!
