“Beyond a B&B”

Reviewed 30 March 2013

I would have to echo many of the other fantastic reviews of how Thimble Island B&B as a peaceful, lovely and gracious home. The hosts, Julie and Tony, could not have been more hospitable and accommodating. Their interest in getting to know their guests while giving us the space to unplug & unwind is a tricky balance that they struck... More

“A Lovely and Gracious Home”

Reviewed 2 November 2012

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at the Thimble Islands B&B. It couldn't have been nicer. The bright, fresh rooms provided expansive and relaxing views of Long Island Sound. A nearby Trolley Trail allowed us enjoyable morning walks after delicious and beautifully presented breakfasts. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a well-appointed adjoining bathroom. But even with all this,... More

“A beautiful place”

Reviewed 2 October 2012

We are so grateful Julie and Tony have chosen to open their home and hearts to guests. Their Thimble Island B&B offers Zen-like peace and comfort. Hidden, yet convenient, the house sits between a towering hunk of granite and a tranquil expanse of Long Island Sound. If you enjoy gazing at boats and egrets, you will enjoy this place. Inside...

The views of the Thimble Islands are amazing, and Tony and Julie are the perfect hosts. We felt like we were visiting family.

“OK, but no more”

Reviewed 26 August 2012

My husband and I were passing through on business, and wanted to add some pleasure to the trip for my birthday. Great location, right on LI sound on the water. The innkeepers are aiming for a luxury experience, yet falling rather short. They were very nice and solicitous, but things like the AC not working (on a very hot night)... More

We were very sorry to hear our b&b did not meet the expectations of these guests. The timing was indeed unfortunate as they arrive about 10pm on our first very muggy evening of the summer. The a/c vents in another occupied room had not been reset to adequately accommodate cool airflow to their room, so a fan was provided. The... More
