Dining, Lodging and Attractions in Guilford, Connecticut
by Carol Cambo
Bed and Breakfast at Bartlett Farm
We like The B&B at Bartlett Farm for those who enjoy mingling with friendly animals (fallow deer, pigs, a buffalo). Owned and operated by descendants of the farm’s original settlers, the farmhouse offers cozy rooms ($90-$130) with private baths and televisions, as well as generous breakfasts (fetch your own eggs if you’d like).

Griswold Cottage
Griswold Cottage, a chef-owned B&B a half mile from the town green, offers one suite with a full bath ($125). [DETAILS]
Guilford Art Center
In addition to an arts school, the center also houses the Mill Gallery (free admission) and a shop with works by more than 350 artisans that’s known especially for its selection of one-of-a-kind jewelry. [DETAILS]
Village Francais
The next best thing to a weekend in Paris (well, almost) is a stop at Village Français (off Boston Post Road near exit 57 on I-95). The store’s buyers travel to France to bring back antique armoires, tables, chests, and artwork, all interspersed with new and reproduction home accessories. [DETAILS]
Thomas Griswold House
A c. 1774 saltbox. [DETAILS]
Henry Whitfield State Museum
Built in 1639, it’s the oldest stone house in New England. [DETAILS]
Stone House Restaurant
Watch the evening fog roll in over bouillabaisse or rack of lamb. [DETAILS]
Guilford Chamber of Commerce
