Norfolk, Connecticut hotel rooms at the Independent

"I would say 4.7 out of five stars. Clean friendly, very comfortable bed nice breakfast. My only complaint would be the toilet paper could be a better quality…"

"Very good"

"Excellent value. Owners are attentive. Rooms are clean and comfortable. "

"At more than 250 years old, the BRI is showing a bit of wear around the edges, but remains elegant and comfortable. Our lovely suite (larger than our NYC apartment) was comfortable and well-appointed and the staff could not have been more friendly and attentive. its a;lso a beautiful corner of the world, with rolling, wooded hills and fine dining scattered across the countyrside."

"Lovely historic hotel that we enjoyed but also knew going in not to expect modern…yes the floors creak and doors and windows dont fit snuggly. We loved it for all those reasns! Staff is wonderful! Enjoy the front porch while you are there!"

"I had an absolutely amazing time here, it is even more beautiful than the pictures. Where do I begin! Right from the start we were greeted by welcoming staff who gave us a tour of the property on a golf cart as we reached our cabin. Golf carts are offered and easily available for a lift to anywhere within the property that you’d like. The shower pressure was perfect and hot as well. Our cabin was curated to feel cozy and came equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels. The saunas and locker rooms were beautifully made. We enjoyed spending timing at the lake going kayaking as well and then sitting at the fire pit to star gaze. We also enjoyed playing pickleball/tennis at the court. My only quip would be that the pool water is still quite cool despite being heated. The whole property is an experience in itself. You can tell it was produced with a lot of meticulous attention to detail. I am already dreaming of when I can come back here! "
