My wife & I made a reservation expecting a full hot breakfast in the morning, just what we needed for a full day on the road. What we got was a cold breakfast, no better than we got the previous morning at a Holiday Inn. The room was pleasant enough, but not what we expected from a quality B&B.

This very pretty inn is a short distance from downtown Waterbury and has plenty of parking. If you are willing to forego a TV, the price is excellent--$99 for an attractive double room with bath and a very generous continental breakfast. (There are all kinds of rooms and some have TVs. Prices obviously vary.) We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast: fresh fruit salad, 3 kinds of fresh muffins, blueberry coffeecake, English muffins, cereal, yogurt, cereal, and all the beverages you would expect. I think we'll return in the fall!

My husband and I stayed at Thatcher Brook on our way to our main vacation destination, so we were only there for one night. It's quite a sprawling place off of a semi-main road. It's pretty, with it's porch and big windows. It was quite a hike to get to our room, my husband having to carry our bags up numerous staircases. Our room was pleasant enough, as was the bathroom. Breakfast was delicious, we loved it, and the host seemed very busy, but nice. It's not the most up-to-date place, but it was clean, served good food and a quiet place to sleep.
