What guests think

Simsbury 1820 House draws praise for its warm, accommodating staff and historic New England charm, with many guests enjoying cozy common areas and a walkable location near restaurants and trails, plus a continental breakfast featuring homemade breads and scones.

Rooms range from spacious and comfortable to small or dated, with recurring notes about older bathrooms, high or uncomfortable mattresses, occasional noisy A/C or event noise, and some maintenance wear. Cleanliness is generally good but inconsistent, with several reports of dusty areas, worn carpets, or minor bathroom mold. Overall, expect a charming, service-led stay with characterful spaces and a few age-related quirks.

The house felt like a step back in time--and the concierge greeted us with such warmth and enthusiasm. We absolutely loved our second floor room. And sitting on the porch veranda for breakfast was wonderful.

We love it here. Friendly helpful staff, breakfast and happy hour wine for guest, roomy well appointed room BUT bring earplugs! AC clunks in and off, someone was vacuuming close to our room at 2am. We will still visit if in the area due to the convenience of bar and restaurant and room price.

We have stayed here several times over the last few years. We were always traveling by bicycle so we appreciate the restaurant choices nearby. The staff were very helpful with our bikes and allowing us to put them inside in Inn. The room was lovely with really nice touches. We received free water bottles and there is a refrigerator. Coffee and tea are always available in the breakfast room. I loved the comfy chairs in the room and the extra sink. The note pad and pen were a nice touch. Breakfast was much improved from the last time we stayed there. Many more options including fruit and yogurt, cold cereal, microwaveable breakfast sandwiches, and a nice selection of muffins, bagels, and breads. Note that if you have trouble climbing stairs, you need to request the first floor as there is no elevator.

No elevator... although I realized later that that was shown on the website, so that is primarily my oversight. But the worst part was a non-working toilet which we reported right away. They told us we were not working the handle correctly--but it did not matter what we did. It did not flush correctly. We ended up having to go down 2 floors to the general restrooms--not very much fun. The room seemed dusty and everything faded. Nothing like the pictures.

We absolutly loved our visit and had a corner room with great views of downtown Simsbury. Everyone was so friendly and it was a quick walk to the Uconn Health 10k race location. We will definitely go back soon. They even had breakfast out by 5:00 am on a Saturday for us early birds and left it out until 11:00 which was perfect. I also enjoyed the complimentary wine when we arrived. We had dinner at the restaurant on the front porch which was fabulous. We will come back again soon.

The Simsbury 1820 House is such a classic, quiet inn. There’s also a very good bar and restaurant. Comfort and good dining give the 1820 House an edge over many other options to stay in the Hartford area.

What a beautiful old inn! The grounds were immaculate and beautifully decorated for the December holidays complete with a wood fire outside in the evening. Three couches were placed around the indoor gas fireplace and with complimentary wine it was quite cozy indeed. All personnel, whether front desk or in the tavern, were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately we were unable to visit the restaurant this time. Next time, however, it will be a goal to eat there. The room was large, spacious and well-decorated. The only minor criticism was that there was peeling paint on the ceiling and a rather large gap separating the ceiling from the wall. Both are not surprising given the fact that the inn is over two hundred years old. We will absolutely revisit the inn in the not-too-distant future.

For an older property it's very well put together. It's walkable to restaurants in town. Clean, tidy, very cozy, very polite staff. Drinking at the bar was a little expensive but whatever, I guess it's incentive for me to drink less. My only gripe, and it seems pretty minor, is that there was only one table for a continental breakfast. It might have worked a little better if they opened up the bigger dining area but I guess they didn't anticipate too many patrons on a weekday. Otherwise, very comfortable, very cozy place to stay.

The room was pretty and the bed very comfortable. The complimentary wine and chocolates are a nice touch not found often. The bathroom showed some wear and tear- some mold spots in the shower and peeling wallpaper where it meets the tile.the breakfast is sufficient but not specia, and the coffee not the best. But, the warm and helpful staff snd the cozy vibes make it a place I am happy to return to.

We stayed in room 403. The room was huge but everything needed to be refurbished. The bed was very uncomfortable. Even though there was some kind of topper it was hard and the mattress itself was old and we could feel where the springs were. The room is partially below ground level and all night long two noisy humidifiers had to run. We could have turned them off but we were worried that mildew and mold may also affect us. The bathroom had had partial upgrades but the tub is old. Also, the toilet is the shortest toilet I have ever seen. I can’t imagine someone with mobility issues would be able to get up. There was a sofa in the room that had very obvious food stains on it. The breakfast was not what I thought. It was a continental cold breakfast much like a holiday inn type. While you could get your food in a lovely room with a fireplace, if you wanted a table, you had to go to a smaller room with 6 tables that didn’t have much charm at all. Overall, it was a disappointment and I’m glad we only had to stay one night.

This is a lovely old inn with lots of charm. The setting is perfect and the outdoor seating very nice. Morning coffee service was good. Front desk was friendly. Our room was on the 3rd floor with very low ceilings. I suspect we got a lesser room because we booked through a 3rd party. While the bed was very comfortable, overall our room needed an overhaul. I was able to view a few other rooms on floor below us and they were much nicer. Ask for a room on first or second floor.
