Thank you for your kind review. Kim and I try to make our place a B&B we'd like to visit ourselves. Nothing fancy, comfortable, and a nice home-cooked breakfast is what we have to offer.

Thank you for your review, I noticed that you gave us a 4 out of 5 rating, but no message to let us know where any improvements can be made.

Thank you for your great rating. After 10 days of staying at our B&B, I guess we had so many good conversations at the breakfast table that we're all talked out now. Be safe in your travels.

It's easy to be good hosts when we have such great guests. We try to make our B&B a place that we'd like to stay at when we travel. There are plenty of historic places to see, shop at, or nature walk the miles and miles of trails at the McLean Game Reserve or even more miles of paved paths on the "Rails to Trials". I can't forget to mention all the great restaurants in Granby. We have more of them than the town's population can support. So many people are coming from surrounding towns to enjoy what we have to offer, and they are not disappointed.

Thank you for that kind review. Kim and I try to make our B&B a place where we'd like to stay ourselves if we were traveling. We've had some really great guests come through the doors for a brief stay. In and out never to be seen again. Then we've also had repeat guests that have come multiple times a year for many many years.

Thank-you. Kim and I try to make our B&B a place we would like to visit ourselves. This was for the Connecticut Room Suite. The Granby Room has a much smaller bathroom. We're glad you enjoyed your stay.

This was a nice review for 5 out of 5, but not too much on the comments area. Kim and I try to make our B&B a place where we'd like to visit ourselves.

Thank you for your stay. The Truman Gillet House B&B is named after the original builder Truman Gillet. He was a cooper, building barrels for all the local business people to ship goods all around the world. Many different grains were ground and shipped from the still-standing Old Mill Pond grit mill 1.2 miles away. Also, just a few houses North was the town Pegville, where they manufactured wooden pegs, as the steel and iron industries were not available in the U.S. yet to make nails. The pegs were used in holding furniture together, house and barn construction, and holding the soles of shoes to the upper leather portion. This way the owner of the shoe could replace the sole by themselves, iron needs were very expensive and hard to get back then. Learn more when you come to visit next time.

Thank you for the review. I guess that says it all... Kim and I try to make our B&B a place that we'd like to stay at.

This is the shortest review that we've received, but says it all. Kim and I are glad you enjoyed your stay.

What a review, short and to the point. Kim and I try to make this a place where we'd like to stay. So we must be doing something right.

We're glad you had an enjoyable time while visiting here.We grow a sizeable patch of pumpkins to decorate around the house for the fall season. It's cheap to buy 4 packages of pumpkin seeds and grow them instead of the hundreds of dollars it would cost if we had to buy pumpkins. We had one that was so heavy that it took two of us to left into the wheel barrel, which flattened the tire.

Chelsea, Short and sweet review. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind review. There are no shared bathrooms for the two rooms we offer. The Connecticut Room Suite has an En Suite bathroom, while the Granby Room has a private bathroom that is two steps from the bedroom door. We had the ability for guests to have coffee, teas, and a bowl of fruit was left out on the dining room table in the past. Only a few guests in all the years we had it available made use of it, so we discontinued it.

Thank you for your review. It was enjoyable having a good conversation with you and talking about all shops and fantastic places to eat in and around Granby. The kids were a delight to have here as we don't get many here. As for the "pup", Allie is 16 years old and still has a good spark to get herself up and running around outside while quite and mellow in the house.

Kim and try to make our B&B a place like we'd like to stay if we were booking the room. Clean and comfortable with knowledge of the local area. Kim and I have been local for 60+ years so we don't mind helping out our guest to make it the best experience with some great places to visit while they're here.

Thank you for your comments. Kim and I try to make our B&B as comfortable and like home as possible. We have great restaurants and shops that guests love to explore depending on how long they are staying in the area. Even though Granby is not a "vacation pot" there is plenty to see and do locally.

Darrin, That review was short and to the point. Thank you. Kim and I try to make our house a comfortable place to stay. I guess we're doing something right.

Pam, That was a short and sweet review, thank you. We try to make our B&B a place where we'd like to visit ourselves and it looks like we're doing something right.

I guess were doing some right as the comment was short and sweet. We try to make our B&B a place we'd like to stay ourselves.

Thank you for your kind review. Kim and I try to make our B&B a place where we'd like to stay. After 18 years running the Truman Gillet House B&B we still appreciate our guests and their stories they bring to the table. And when they indulge me to hear one of mine.

Thank you for your kind review. Kim and I try to make it an enjoyable stay for our guests. There is a lot to see in our small town and even more in the surrounding towns. Many small specialty shops and artist studios are waiting for visitors coming to see what they have to offer. We have a long list of these places to go shopping, hiking, drinking or dining out when you arrive.

Thank you for your kind review. Kim and I try to make our B&B as if we were visiting someone else and that's how we would want to be taken care of. There are many more places to visit the next time you can make another trip here.

Thank you for your kind review. We try to make our B & B a place we'd like to stay in if we were traveling.

Thank you for your kind review. We pride ourselves on making our B&B an enjoyable experience for our guests. Granby, CT and the surrounding towns have so many great places to visit, shop at or enjoy some rally good restaurant dining. Within Granby we have miles and miles of walking trails, nature walk areas and a Rails to Trails paved walking/bike path for all to enjoy. There are two wineries that are seasonal and the Lost Acres Apple Orchard that is open year round becauseof it's fabulous bake shop. The cookies are worth going out of your way for.

Michael, Thank you for your kind words and blessing. Kim and I try to make our home a comfortable place to stay as we'd like it if we were visiting somewhere ourselves. Each person has their idea of what a nice place to stay is and we're glad to have meant your expectations. It's guests like you that inspire us to continue what we're doing to have an inviting place for guests to rest and recharge themselves.

We're doing it, we're letting guests feel like they are at a home away from home. Comfortable and relaxing, what else can I ask for, content guests. Thank you, as it's the guests that make it for us.

Another good review, we must be doing something right. My parents brought us up to treat everyone that you come in contact with as you would like to be treated. I like to cook, being taught by my Mom to make simple dishes that taste good. The wild blueberry pancakes are by far the most requested breakfast we make and they always puts a smile on everyone's face that eat them. I also have some interesting stories to tell about making those pancakes and collecting/marking maple syrup. Ask me when you come next time.

We try to make our house a place where we'd like to come back to if we were the visiting guests. I guess we're doing something right.

Thank you for your kind review. Now is the time to get some great viewing of the changing of the colors. Many of the trees in New England put on a great display for all to see. As long as there are no heavy rains or windy days to wreck havoc we should have a few more good weeks of prime leaf peeping.

I can tell just by your response that you liked what we had to offer. A good nights sleep on comfortable bed, a clean house and a satisfying breakfast in the morning. All things guest can expect.

To whom it may concern, We really like to know what brought us off the 5 of 5 mark. Without know whom or when you had stayed it's not possible to improve on our rating.

Were glad to hear you liked your stay. We have new locks for the doors and will get them installed. The Fire Chief rejected the other locked we wanted to install. But this passed with flying colors.

Thank you for the compliment on the breakfast. They are simple, home style cooking that should get you to lunch time without a problem. If we are making a fruit salad we make just it before we serve it so it's the freshest it can be. We get the eggs from across the street that are free range chickens and you may even hear the roster now and again. We get local milk and cheeses also as we believe you have to start with fresh local ingredients to make a good meal. Granby has some really good restaurants for it's size and if our town doesn't have exactly what your looking for the surrounding towns do. We keep a three ring binder with the best restaurants in the area for our guests to choose from.

Thank you, Kim and I try to make our home a place where we'd like to visit.

We're not fancy, but a clean safe place to lay your head down for the night and a good breakfast in the morning is what we do. We can make specialty breakfasts as long as we know the day before to have the required ingredients.

How is this helpful to anyone? If you don't tell me what was wrong how can I correct it for any other guest. If I don't know whom the guest is I don't know when whatever happened to know if that was a single case problem or if something still needs to be corrected. I think it's very unfair to me and other guests as to why we rec'd such a poor rating with no ability to correct it.

Thank you, we try to make our B&B a place where we'd like to stay ourselves. Did you happen to visit the McLean Game Refuge? It has over 4000 acres of trails, ponds and nature vistas great for viewing or photography. Then there is the Rails to Trails that are nicely paved paths from somewhere close to New Haven up to Westfield, MA. These are things to do on your next visit.

Robert, Thank you for your kind words. Kim and I have tried to make the Truman Gillet House B&B a place that we'd like to visit ourselves. Connecticut is a small state and is packed with places to visit or views to see all within a short distance. We told a guest from Texas about some places to visit that were about an hour away. His response was "That's nothing, it takes 45 minutes just to get to the local grocery store and over an hour to get to a Home Depot." It's all in prospective I guess. We do have a lot to see right here in Granby, CT from 4400 acres of nature walking, Rails to Trails, shopping, antique shops, museums and farms all around. There are also many artists and galleries to visit. There is always something to see or do rain or shine.

My mother taught me from an easy age to be friendly to everyone you meet and she was right. Without communicating with someone it's hard to find out what they need or want. Nothing fancy here, just some comfortable furniture and decor to compliment the age of the house which was build circa 1805.

Extra short and sweet. No words, just a 5 out of 5 score. Thank you.

Thank you for your review. Everything stated was spot on. The front Granby Room is very small, however, I can only work with what I have so I'll see what I can do with descriptions the booking engines web sites use to reflect what is actually available. We did look into getting the sitting room and dining areas air conditioned many years ago, however, the cost was very high for only using it for 5 to 10 days a years. I also detest the look of the window air conditioners hanging out the street and driveway sides of the house. But new products come out all the time so I'll re-look into a new split system or see what they have for options to cool those rooms. The window air conditioners just doesn't go with the look of a period house built in 1805. The vast majority of guests I've found over the years waffle over the choices we were giving them for breakfast. Their indecisiveness led to more heated discussions within the guests as to which is the best breakfast. And then many times everyone wants a different breakfast. We don't have the capabilities to make a different breakfast for everyone. So we state a breakfast type that we'll be having to see if it's agreeable to all. I've made many specialty breakfasts over the years, having said that I would be glad to make a special breakfast requested by the guests if it's all the same or similar for all in the party. Like everyone getting pancakes; blueberry, apple, gluten free or such can be easily handled. But not bacon, ham and sausage by three different guest can't. Thanks for the review as I learn something new with every one I get.

Thank you for your review, short and to the point. Your comment "very clean scrumptious breakfasts." made my wife Kim laugh. She said "I'm glad he enjoyed our very clean breakfasts" I say what's a comma or two between friends. It's easy to be a good host when you have great guests as Larry was.

Bradley Int'l Airport is just 8 1/2 miles away with with just one turn to get to our place. With only 2 rooms at our B & B there is a 50/50 shot of having the place to yourself. Were not big, were not fancy, but we do make a good hearty breakfast or a light easy fair depending our your needs. Allie, our cockapoo loves the guests and is always willing to preform her repertoire of tricks to impress anyone that is willing to watch.

It's so nice when people express their ability to find charm in our home and surrounding area we live. My Mom taught me how to cook well enough and then some so I or you wouldn't go hungry. Even though Granby, CT is a small town we are filled with places to go to, things to touch or good food establishments to eat your way around with minimal driving.
