Connecticut River Valley Inn

Connecticut


This large Colonial clapboard sits proudly on Glastonbury's Main St and offers five handsome bedrooms, artfully decorated by host Pat Brubaker. But the best bit is the sumptuous homemade breakfast, which features baked muffins and lavender scones straight out of the oven, pancakes and hot salmon quiche.
