An impeccable vintage Inn with the perfect
ambiance.

Return to 18th century
New England as you step through the door of this former
tavern. Built in 1731, the Bird In Hand was licensed as a tavern
from 1800 to 1832. Our sign is an exact replica of the original
that now resides in the CT Historical Society Museum in Hartford.
Taverns were places for travelers to rest and refresh themselves before
undertaking the remainder of their journey....we strive to continue that
tradition today.
The B&B provides several common
rooms. The cooking hearth is the center of attraction in the tavern
room. A comfortable sitting room is furnished with all the modern
conveniences such as cable TV/VCR. We have a selection of videos in our
library. The enclosed porch is an inviting place to read a good book, or
you may want to take a stroll around the yard and enjoy the perennial
flower beds and herb garden.
A full country breakfast is served
every morning, including coffee/tea, juice, fresh fruit, breads and a
hot entrée. Coffee and Tea are available in the dining room for early
risers.
We are located close to UConn,
Mystic, Sturbridge, many antique shops, Nathan Hale Homestead, Mark
Twain House and other historical house museums.
Guest Rooms and Rates
"Anna White Room" - $150.00 per
night
Named after the wife of Daniel Rust who lived in the house from 1731 to
1748. After the rustic conditions she lived in, we thought it
appropriate to name our nicest suite after her. This air conditioned
room is decorated in a bird theme with a queen sized canopy bed and a
working fireplace. The luxury private bath features a two person
whirlpool tub, luxurious robes and a hair dryer.
"Mary Rose Room" - $125.00 per night
Named after the original innkeeper, this air conditioned room features a
private bath, working fireplace and a queen sized canopy bed. A secret
closet was believed to have hidden slaves traveling to freedom on the
Underground Railroad. "Dunham Room"
- $90.00 per night
The old door to the room bears the name Dunham, hence our choice for a room
name. This air conditioned room features twin beds and a private bath with
tub/shower and hair dryer. This room is accessed by a steep, narrow staircase.
If you have difficulty with stairs, please consider one of our other rooms.
"The Cottage" - $150.00 per night
The cottage is perfect for an extended stay or anyone wanting to prepare that
special meal, then settle down to watch a good movie in front of the fire. The
cottage offers a fully equipped kitchen, a private bath with shower and hair

ceiling fan offers summertime cooling.
All rates are based on double occupancy and are subject to CT tax. A
