Accommodations
The Copper Beech Inn has twenty two handsome guest rooms and luxury suites, all with private baths, telephones and air conditioning. There are four rooms on the second floor of the Main House, all once bedrooms when the building was a private residence. There are also nine rooms on two floors in the Carriage House, a turn-of-the-century carriage barn converted to a guesthouse in the mid-1980s.

Breakfast
Breakfast is served in the bright and cheerful Copper Beech Room, or in our lovely sunny Atrium, both of which overlook the beautiful garden with its fountain. Although our special house granola, or fresh fruit is always available, why not try some of our freshly baked decadent croissants or other morning pastries.

If your appetite is a little heartier, we offer a selection of hot entrées. These include Belgian waffles, eggs Benedict, or specialty omelets accompanied by delicious, slightly spicy hand-made pork sausage, derived from an old family recipe, and served with diced potatoes. Naturally fresh-squeezed orange juice and rich roasted, hot coffee complement this delightful start to your day. All, or indeed, any of the above, will prepare you for a day of exploring the Lower Connecticut River Valley, or perhaps the beaches of Long Island Sound or antiquing.
