The Connecticut River Valley Inn Hartford South/Glastonbury

Glastonbury is a charming town with numerous small shops and restaurants. The Inn is in town and within walking distance to a Whole Foods, plenty of shops and restaurants, cafes, hiking and more. There is a Jerry's Art Store and Blick about 20-minutes away to buy any art supplies you might want. The Inn itself was built in 1740 and is gorgeous inside and out. Each room is decorated differently. The art studio is located steps away and we went after dinner each evening to work on our art. The food was delicious. I enjoyed every single meal. Everything was fresh and healthy. It was relaxing and easy. I felt very spoiled. I highly recommend attending an art retreat here or even just staying a few nights!

This is a truly lovely property. The grounds are exquisite and include a 75' lap pool and lovely patio and area for artist retreats. Nice robes, comfy linens, a fabulous shower. Fireplace that throws a good amount of heat and easy to use air conditioning. Good instruction book. Some small details were overlooked--a nice coffee nook to make tea or coffee but no water available to use or drink.

This is an exceptionally nice place to stay. The hosts are warm and attentive and the property is first class in every way.

I had the joy of teaching at the Artist’s Rising Retreat at the Connecticut River Valley Inn, and it was such a wonderful experience. The property is gorgeous—lush gardens, beautiful old trees, and tucked-away spots perfect for relaxing or soaking in nature. You instantly feel like you’ve stepped away from everything. The art room was filled with light and space—such a comfortable, inspiring place to create and teach. The house itself is lovely, full of thoughtful details, and Pat and Wayne were incredible hosts. The food was delicious, and they truly went above and beyond to make everyone feel cared for. Teri, the events coordinator, was amazing—so organized, warm, and thoughtful in making sure everything ran smoothly. It’s the kind of place that fills you up creatively and personally. I can’t recommend it enough and hope I’ll get to return one day.

Wonderful room, breakfast and hospitality.

Great experience hosting a small wedding of 30. Very accommodating, nice attention to detail. Owners very warm and friendly. Grounds are incredible.the room we stayed in was beautiful. If we needed anything all we had to do was ask. Very convenient location also. A lot to do around the area.

We stayed in the dead of winter, but that could not dim how cute the inn was. we reserved the suite on the top floor, which gave a lot of privacy although you have to walk up two flights of older stairs so be prepared for that. lots of space, very clean, modern bathroom with a huge shower. Easy to control fireplace’s. took a lovely walk on the back of the property to the very frozen Connecticut river. Good communication from staff via text messages thoughtful little touches like freshwater for your room.would definitely stay here again

We loved staying at The Connecticut River Valley Inn over Christmas 2024. We stayed for a week while visiting family who lives nearby. We loved the fireplace and the spray shower in our room, and the set up was perfect for 2 adults as our 3 year old. All of the little details and design choices made this inn very unique and comfortable. Wayne and Pat were also very friendly and wonderful.

Beautifully renovated historic Bed and Breakfast Inn. Situated in an ideal location with gorgeous gardens. The hosts are generous and charming. Our food was not only delicious and healthy, it was beautifully presented. Fabulous for art retreats!!!
