This is a very special bed and breakfast. Julie and Tony are excellent innkeepers who ensured that we had a wonderful time in this beautiful corner of Connecticut. We stayed in the Heron suite which had fantastic views of the water and the Thimble Islands. We also enjoyed the breakfasts and the opportunity to chat with our hosts whose recommendations for local sightseeing were much appreciated.

This gem of a house sits on the most spectacular settings—right on the water. One of the most beautiful views we’ve ever seen. The owners are lovely and friendly and super accommodating. Breakfast is a treat—a mushroom gorgonzola omelette or crème brûlée french toast. It is well worth the trip.

Thimble Islands Bed & Breakfast is the perfect place to forget the stresses of the work week and enjoy the comfort of seaside living. At the water's edge, your windows afford spectacular vistas of the famed Thimble Islands (Rogers, Belden and Lewis are the closest). It's a short walk to Stony Creek village with its museum, theater, cafes, and quaint gift shops. (A guided tour of the islands aboard the Sea Mist is a must.) Your gracious hosts at the B&B, Julie & Tony Broom, will see to your every need. The breakfasts are sensational.

This was by far the best B+B we have ever stayed at. It actually did not feel like staying in a B+B, but rather, in Julie and Tony's house (which it is) as their personal guests. The house is modern, updated and very well maintained. It is also very tastefully decorated and furnished. Outdoors is also expertly maintained. Julie and Tony were extremely gracious hosts, and the location is simply amazing with the beautiful views of The Thimble Islands right outside. We hope to get back soon.

We got married at the Thimble Islands bed-and-breakfast…. What a wonderful experience! The owners, Julie and Tony, were amazing. We had the time of our life. Breakfasts tasted so good with beautiful views of the Long Island sound and thimble Islands. Julie and Tony went out of their way to make sure everything was a perfect experience for the guests. The egret room we stayed in was spacious and very clean and comfy. We look forward to going back to the bed-and-breakfast every year❤️. Thank you so much for making our wedding so special.

Our stay was over the top! Julie and Tony are so friendly and helpful. Accommodations superb, with breathtaking views. Delicious breakfasts. Charming town. They even made dinner reservations for us at a fabulous Italian restaurant. We were sad to say goodbye. Needless to say, we highly recommend it!

Our stay at the Thimble Islands Bed and Breakfast was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel instantly at home. The B&B is beautiful, nestled in a picturesque location that offers breathtaking harbor views and the Thimble Islands. Our room, the Heron, was clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we could possibly need. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious homemade breakfast that featured piping hot coffee, fresh fruit and tempting selections of pancakes, crème brulee and omelets. The innkeepers were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining options. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The Thimble Islands Bed and Breakfast Inn exceeded our expectations. The combination of outstanding service, cozy accommodations, and stunning surroundings makes it a true gem. We can't wait to return for another visit!

The hosts are charming and very helpful. The views are spectacular, and it is very quiet. The breakfasts are delicious. Stoney Creek is charming and the inn is just a five minute walk to the village. We definitely plan to come back. Highly recommended.

The only thing I might add to the many reviews this exceptional B&B has garnered is that all of the compliments are true! The property is lovely, well-maintained and beautifully furnished. The views from almost every window are terrific. Our room (Egret) was comfortable and graciously appointed. The made-to-order breakfasts were delicious and abundant. In fact, we could have lingered for far longer than we did over the morning coffee, fresh fruit, creative entrees (e.g. Tony's special omelet with caramelized onions, shiitake mushrooms and gorgonzola) and delightful company of our hosts and fellow guests. Best of all, Julie and Tony are as warm, hospitable and helpful as two innkeepers could be. They are the kind of people you can easily imagine being your dear and long-time friends. All in all, a wonderful experience in a very special place!
