Our Inkeepers Liz and Doug are charming and talented. Breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious. This is an historic property, but nonetheless very comfortable with all the necessary amenities. And Bristol is so picturesque and historically evocative. We will definitely return…

Such a cute B&B. We were welcomed with delicious cookies. We stayed in the Harbor Room. Bed was comfortable. We met the owners Elizabeth & Doug at breakfast which was delicious. They were very welcoming. I loved the Apple with everything bread, wish I could get the recipe (lol). Conveniently located, walking distance to restaurants, shops, & the water. Will definitely stay there again when we visit the area again.

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.

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.

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.

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.
