Stonecroft Country Inn

The Inn is lovely and the grounds are beautiful. Very, very tranquil vibe. And the owners are so warm and welcoming. Breakfast was hot and fresh, the homemade muffins were delicious. Location is fantastic. 6 miles from Mystic and 6 miles from Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.

Spring Tea was wonderful. Elegant but comfortable. Each table was prepared with eye appealing choices of Deliciousness. Our hostess and her sister were so accommodating. And kudos to Chef Scott who shared his birthday time to make our day memorable. We can’t wait for a redo next year. Better yet, next month.

As part of the Select Registry family of places to stay, we hoped it was all that and more. After phoning the staff, Jodie met us and shied us to our room. It all appeared wonderful, cozy and clean. We took a few minutes to acquaint ourselves with the room amenities and operate the tv, fireplace, bathroom fixtures and more. The important notices are mattress, pillows and cleanliness. Great mattress in the LILY room, pillows were too flat, so, multiples are required and those toss pillows don’t count. Great sleep, woke at 6 am, excited for another Fall day in CT. My husband likes to ‘make’ the bed but I chose to draw all the bedding to the end of the bed so the staff would know to change the sheets. That’s when I saw ALL the soiled strains: old, yellowed and disgusting. It’s ironic that the innkeepers promote a brand of sheets for folks to purchase yet our sheets were thin, stained and should have been tossed weeks ago. I’m not sure who housekeepers are and fail to know how these stains were missed. Then, after enjoying a couple of mugs of kuerig coffee, my husband put me on notice that the water pressure was almost a trickle. We decided to pack up and headed down to breakfast where the innkeeper alerted us that the plumber was on his way to check the well. At that point, I informed Jodie about those stained sheets and she explained them away. That’s it, the property is 5 miles up the road from Mystic and secluded and quiet. These innkeepers acquired property’s during Covid and it’s a huge undertaking to oversee and maintain all these rooms by themselves. I respect their mission.

The Stonecroft Country Inn is a welcome relief from the stresses of life in 2025. It's located inland about five miles from the iconic seaport town of Mystic, Connecticut, set back on a country road amidst stone walls and large trees. It's an informal, yet historic property and run with an enthusiastic charm and kindness by its owners. To be sure that you're enjoying yourself, their humorous labradoodle Tanner makes the rounds to put a smile your face. The rooms are found in two buildings, one of which is a large converted barn with comfortable rooms, and an authentic feel. Downstairs is a breakfast dining area that takes full advantage of the aesthetics of its large fieldstone foundation walls. There's outside seating for the nicer mornings that's next to a well-kept garden. The breakfasts themselves are hardy, and delicious, and you're always treated well. If you're looking for that resting spot that's close enough to the tourist attractions of southeastern Connecticut, but far from the madding crowd, the Stonecroft Country Inn is a very good choice.

My wife and couldn't have enjoyed our stay more! The room was cozy and the staff was so pleasant. We really enjoyed the grounds and location, it was nicely located to many attractions. Breakfast on the patio was an added plus! Can't wait to go back!

I lived in New England for 12 years and I came back for a visit after 22 years of living in Florida. The place to go to see Fall foilage is New England. There is nothing like it in the US. You wind thru all the backroads full of the most beautiful colorful trees with the leaves scattering with every small wind. Then you get to the Stonecroft Inn in Leyward. Built in 1807 you can still feel the vibe of the time as you go up the stairs in the Big Barn building to the top floor where two large rooms reside. Huge king bed slathered in quality sheets and huge pillows. Turn on the fireplace and sit on the fluffy overstuffed leather couch or open the back patio door and take in the grandeur of the Fall. Huge bathroom with a bidet, whirlpool tub and massive shower. Then the breakfast in the dining room which holds 10 tables is surrounded by a stone wall from the 1807 era with a huge fireplace and windows that overlook the Fall foilage. The owners do a wonderful job on the breakfast and the coffee is quite good. I highly recommend paying a visit in the Summer and Fall. It is close to Mystic Seaport where there is lots of restaurants and attractions.
