I found the Cliffside Guesthouse to be lovely inside and out. It is in a very quiet and peaceful location. It is clean, comfortable and very well kept. The host was very responsive and I would definitely stay here again.
The host, Anne, met me when I first arrived and explained all the things relative to the workings of the usual appliances, as well as the AC/heat, parking, etc. She really made me feel comfortable and made herself available for any questions. There was coffee for the first morning, which was very much appreciated and an extra bonus is the parking is on property! Also, I was grateful for the extended check-out time.
The Guesthouse is in such a great part of Mystic making it a quick walk (10-15 mins) to the center of Mystic with its restaurants, shops, and, my favorite, the Mystic Bascule bridge. It just a short drive (6-8 mins) to the Mystic Seaport Museum.
On my very first morning I opened the door to the little balcony and sat at the dining table with my coffee and did some very easy birdwatching as the birds sang and flitted in and out of a nearby tree. It would have been nice if I had remembered my binoculars!
Thank you, for the wonderful stay that made my weekend absolutely perfect!
