Cozying Up to the Fire

It’s nice to find a bar or taproom that features an open fire. Try these on for size:

• The Griswold Inn
• Mayflower Inn & Spa
• The Wharf at the Madison Beach Hotel
• Captain Daniel Packer Inne
• White Horse Country Pub
• The Inn at Woodstock Hill
• The Goose American Bistro
• Red Stone Pub
• Jesse Camille's Restaurant
• Redding Roadhouse

That’s a special winter treat in Connecticut, and you can find it in good hotels and inns all around the state. Some places don’t have fireplaces in every guest room, so be sure to mention it when you make your reservation.

• Inn at Stonington
  At the Inn at Stonington, the gas fire adds to the pleasure of a comfortable room, maybe with a water view, and proximity to the many pleasures of Stonington Borough, right outside the front door.
   
• Graybarns
  A haven of refuge set along the Silvermine River in Norwalk, CT. Once very popular as a village meeting place, artist outpost and stagecoach stop GrayBarns on the Silvermine River is a hidden gem.
