Spent 3 days at the Victorian celebrating a birthday and anniversary. It was suggested that we go to a Bed and Breakfast for a non-hotel experience. I was so happy that I found the Wallingford Victorian. It was only a 1.5 hour drive from NYC, the house is beautiful and the innkeepers, Becky and Dave, made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived. As a 'person of color' I was a bit apprehensive but I felt automatically comfortable.
We booked a "wine and dine" special that included a great dinner at Michael's Trattoria and a lovely bottle of wine was waiting for us in our room when we arrived.
Also, since we drove, we took an excursion to Sandy Hook National Park, which is a lovely beach and really relaxed. We even took in a movie and had dinner at Friendly's (the first for my partner).
All in all it was well worth it and I would go back again and again!
