Charming B&B in a nice town (Wallingford CT). Walking distance to everything. They also have great extended stay accommodations for longer-term stays, including a 2-bedromm duplex apartment!

I booked this room months in advance. A few weeks before my arrival date, however, my son broke his leg and needed extensive surgery and was bedridden, causing us to cancel our trip.
I called to cancel the room and was told that since it was a "special weekend" (with a six month cancellation policy!!?)that their cancellation policy required me to pay for all three nights that I had booked. I explained why I was cancelling and asked that since it was a high demand weekend, would they allow me off the hook if they rented the room after all?
I was told no, that I would have to pay for all three nights anyway!
After begging and pleading, calling other area hotels to ask them to refer overbookings to the B+B, I was finally told that since I got them another person to rent the rooms, they would refund---minus 20%!
Now they weren't keeping only 20% of only the first night, but of the entire three day booking! I really felt this was excessive, but I grudgingly paid it anyway.
I am a frequent visitor to Wallingford and hoped to have found a home away from home. But I will certainly never call on them again.
I am writing this review months after the incident--mainly because it STILL bothers me! They could have had a very happy repeat customer had they simply handled the situation more reasonably. Instead I post a warning to stay away.

My wife and I just returned from a two night getaway at the Wallingford Victorian. Overall we had a wonderful experience and I would recommend it.

The Wallingford Victorian is well located on a residential street within walking distance of the center of town. It is also a great jumping off point to explore the many wineries and farms that give this area of Connecticut its wonderful charm.
The overall decor of the Victorian is very warm and appealing, filled with antiques and many elegant touches. The woodwork in the dining room is impressive as is the flooring in the parlor room.
We stayed in the Georgiana suite and found it to be very comfortable. The bathroom is showing age, but I think Becky mentioned that she is going to eventually update it. I didn't check out any of the other updated rooms, but judging by the photos on the website they look more up to date.
The only downside comment I would make is the lack of extras that so often are a part of other B&Bs we have stayed in. The full breakfast is much appreciated and eating on the fine china is a treat, but there weren't any fresh baked goods. No afternoon sherry. No maid service unless specifically asked for. Granted, these are minor infractions and perhaps I am a bit too picky. It certainly did not take away from a great experience and as I stated earlier, I would definitely recommend it.

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!
