Bed and Breakfast Description

Selected as the Best Country Inn in Connecticut by Connecticut Magazine. "The Copper Beech Inn is a lovely example of what Americans look for in a three- or four-star country inn." (The New York Times, July 2003)

This gracious Victorian, in Ivoryton, one of three picturesque villages that make up the town of Essex, is just minutes from the scenic Connecticut River and Long Island Sound. The Inn is just a two-hour drive from New York City or Boston.

“A quiet miracle has occurred in Ivoryton.The Copper Beech Inn has been returned to its glory days. Crystal sparkles, silver shines, Oriental rugs glow on polished floors, antiques and masses of fresh flowers set the scene for the flawlessly elegant dining… Over the top? An embarrassment of riches? Of course. But this is what fine dining used to mean… a glamorous special-occasion restaurant is a treat and a treasure.” Elise Maclay, Conneticut Magazine

In Essex, “The Best Small Town in America," you’ll experience classic unspoiled coastline, countryside and quaint historic villages.
