My husband and I headed up from New Jersey for some "leaf peeping". We had never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before, so didn't really know what to expect. In fact, I was literally googling "What to expect at a Bed and Breakfast", when I laughed to myself and decided to just go for it. We knew we wanted to go to Connecticut, we knew we wanted to see leaves, and we knew we wanted to make our first B&B stay a good one. Well, planning your trip two days beforehand doesn't allow for much choice. So we were so worried we were going to have nowhere to stay! I came across these wonderful reviews on Trip Advisor, and figured Dutch Iris would definitely not be available. Well, much to my surprise they had a last minute cancellation and would allow us to stay for just one night! We're so glad it worked out because it was a perfect match!

We arrived around 4:30 to a sweet note telling us where our room was. We stayed in the Victorian room. It was cozy, clean, and had fireplace with easy instructions. There were great little touches everywhere. Everything was clean, and so many little things made you feel so welcome.

We just relaxed in our rooms for a few hours, and headed out to dinner at Abigail's, recommended by their website (great food, but a little noisy, if you're wondering). We had a delicious dinner, and came back to our cozy, quiet, romantic room. Some of the rooms do face the road, so we were worried about the noise, but it ended up being fine. We slept wonderfully! I woke up and asked my husband how he slept, and he said, "Um. Great. I think that's why people stay in B&Bs. I've never slept that well in a hotel." We were awoken by the INCREDIBLE smell of Nancy's delicious breakfast. I must admit, I have high standards in the food department, and husband and I were nothing but impressed with the incredible breakfast!!! We had fruit and yogurt as the first course, and then a delicious blueberry/almond/breakfast thing (I don't even know what it's called, but it was GREAT)! We will definitely be returning! Thank you!

Our extended family stayed at the Dutch Iris Inn for 2 nights in October. Bill & Nancy were just wonderful hosts - not at all intrusive, but very informed about the Granby area and things to do. No detail is overlooked. The beds are comfortable, the windows and bathrooms brand new, everything was spotless and the inn had loads of country charm. The breakfasts were yummy, and there were always treats in the afternoon. They've attended to little details, like providing a "guest refrigerator" in the dining room. Some of the rooms face the "main" road, so ear plugs were provided. Just a charming place, and highly recommended.

Great people, great place, great food and a very relaxing place. My wife and I stayed for a night at this B&B and it was one of the best I have ever stayed at. The rooms were wonderful and well done. The food was to die for. And best of all Nancy and Bill were just wonderful to spend time with. There is no doubt in our minds we would return if we are in the area.

Visiting Granby and staying at the Dutch Iris Inn has become an annual tradition for us! After choosing the Dutch Iris Inn for a long weekend in October 2005, our first B&B experience together, we returned in 2006 and left with a wonderful memory - my husband proposed to me in the Victorian Room! We've returned each year since (on the same weekend) to enjoy this gorgeous inn, the delicious gourmet breakfasts and its warm and attentive innkeepers Bill and Nancy Ross, who remember us fondly each time we return even though they see many faces in between our visits! Bill and Nancy are always ready with a smile, friendly conversation, local recommendation, sweet treat and even to share a recipe! It is for all those reasons, and the wonderful memories we've made, that we will continue to return to the Dutch Iris Inn each year. And while we travel to other places, and have stayed in other B&B's, we often end up comparing it to the Dutch Iris Inn and looking forward to our fall weekend there! It is our home away from home for our special weekend in October.
