Going to Bristol? Stay at the William's Grant Inn!

The charm of this property is undeniable. The Inn keepers were wonderful, helpful and friendly. Breakfast was an incredible treat. We were cozy in the Inn's bathrobes and thought the bed and accommodations were spacious and inviting.

The Inn is a beautiful home with tasteful decor and comfort. The breakfast was a delicious homemade experience. We went to enjoy the Bristol Christmas Festival. The Inn was convenient to everything and we had a wonderful time. Lots of unique Christmas gifts to purchase.

Pretty B&B

This is a beautiful B&B with comfortable lodging and yummy breakfast. I really enjoyed my stay. The only issue I had was that the heat wasn’t working in the room so it was a bit cold but the owners worked quickly to fix the problem. I would definitely recommend the place.

Amazing house located in a cute small town. Charming neighborhood and walkable down to the bay. We were just passing through but found it to be one of our favorites. Downfall...bfast was only served for a short window (8:30 -9). The hosts were accommodating and sincere, but not as interactive as I would have hoped. The house is for sale so maybe they are getting out of the business..but don't let that stop you from staying there.

It’s always difficult to choose a town and lodging when you are unfamiliar with the area. We lucked out on both. Our stay was perfect and we were very comfortable. Bristol, RI is a wonderful place to visit. Our stay at the William’s Grant Inn was wonderful.
