Higganum House B&B

"A hidden gem. Quite a charming and snug place with private rooms, a vintage vibe, and wonderful hospitality."

"A gem of a B&B in central Connecticut. Clark is a welcoming host who takes great pride in his renovated vintage home. The rooms are comfortable and quiet, and the warm cookies baked early night by Clark are a delicious touch to the end of the day. The five acres of beautiful grounds and gardens are a treat all their own."

"It was a great location for everything we wanted to do in Essex, Chester, Deep River, and not even a bad drive to Mystic. Everything was very clean and comfy and Clark was wonderful at getting us settled in- even made us homemade cookies!"

"We were lucky to find a place last minute at a fair price. We were greeted by amazing chocolate chip cookies and restored old floors. You wanted the walls to talk to you just because of the history. The walls were covered with photos of the family who have owned the home for decades. Our room had a marriage certificate hanging on the wall for 1800's. It was fun just looking at them all. The owners, the sweetest people you'll ever meet! The only drawback was a shared bathroom, but all the guests were very courteous."

"The house is a unique and landmarked wonderful mansion and has a fantastic lawn and grounds, a very tranquil and relaxing and beautiful location. The room was large and comfortable and clean, and the bed and beddings very nice and it was quiet. I slept very well! The bathroom and bedroom were both very clean, as was the house in general. The hosts Clark and Kamilla were extremely welcoming and made sure my stay there was terrific. They were fun to talk to while also respecting my space and privacy. It was perfect for bicycling and exploring the nearby historic towns and Wesleyan University. It was also a great place to stay for Goodspeed Opera House and the ocean, places I visited during my stay. I was driving back to NY from Boston and it is very conveniently located midway, an excellent thing as I don't like to drive for too long. I can't wait to go back!! A really excellent place to stay!"
