Erika and Peter were incredible hosts. It was our 5 year wedding anniversary. They made sure that we were taken care of, even when we would leave the grounds. Peter gave us dinner and day date recommendations that were breath taking. We highly recommend this Inn.

Loved that breakfast was included. It was loud in the morning when breakfast was being made. If that was because of the location of the room we stayed in, I would recommend that be noted.

We're glad you enjoyed your recent stay, Jazmin; however, we still have not been paid the pet fee for the dog you brought. The room you booked was not pet-friendly; however, we graciously made an exception as you had shown up your dog. We told you at check-in about the 25 pet fee, which we have been unable to collect. We once again, kindly ask that you call us to correct this matter. Best wishes for your future travels.

Loved the experience. The room was a little dated but still had the feel of a cozy bed and breakfast. Just wished the food menu was a little more robust, but the FOOD WAS EXCELLENT. Sorry I’m a foodie from New York.

Hey Alfredo, I'm glad you loved the experience and that the FOOD WAS EXCELLENT. I consider myself a foodie too, and feel that you don't need to be from New York to have an elevated knowledge of cuisine. Since I didn't know what you meant by "robust," I did call you to discuss your thoughts. You mentioned wishing we had quiche on the menu featuring local ingredients. As I replied, I've tried offering quiche several times over my 20+ years in the business and it has been my experience that 90% of guests are not interested in ordering it. Having said that, we are doing all kinds of fun, exciting, and sometimes healthy dishes featuring local and organic ingredients. Just to name a couple dishes, we've recently offered Noank Lobster Benedict, Gluten-free Buttermilk Pancakes with Blueberries grown right, on the property. For a smallish, boutique property, that's impressive. Anyway, we thank you for your patronage and wish you much robustness in all of your future travels.

We had a great weekend at Abbey’s! The hosts were amazing and available for any questions you may have. The breakfast was really good! We stayed in the Downeast room and it was impeccably clean! The mattress was super comfortable I wished we could’ve purchased the bed! It’s literally a 4 minute drive to Foxwoods so we went there both days. Next visit to Foxwoods we will definitely stay at Abbey’s!

We loved the place very much However we ordered one breakfast for next day but there was confusion on my part as how to order second breakfast so I called and requested two breakfasts the same but they did not come. The lady on site said that she did not know about the orders. Perhaps an adjustment on this should be made

Hi Danny. We're glad to hear you loved your stay and apologize for the confusion with your breakfast order. We did offer to make your breakfast when the issue was discovered. Our online ordering system has worked extremely well, so we don't know why your order wasn't logged on the system. We hope you will return sometime to experience our wonderful breakfasts.

Thank you for your feedback, David. I am sorry that you did not receive the self check-in information I emailed prior to your arrival. However, when you arrived, I was there to welcome you in person and guide you to your room. I took the time to explain how ordering breakfast works and made sure we had the correct email address for you. I also said to let me know if you didn't receive the breakfast selection email so I could further assist you. I never heard from you that you needed more help. I am sorry you didn't like this modern approach to providing services to our guests that evolved during Covid. It has been very popular younger travelers.
