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.

The William Grant Inn is located in the historical town of Bristol RI and it is close to Hope Street and all the local attractions and restaurants. We stayed for a family wedding and were treated in a warm and friendly way with a comfortable room. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.

This was a great Inn and would recommend it to anyone. The owners were great and the fatuitous cooks, the breakfast was unbelievable and has to bee the best B&B breakfast I have ever had. You couldn't find a better location within Bristol and is only minutes from Rodger Williams University

Great Little Inn
This inn was a joy to stay at. The owners happily accommodated my food allergies (hint: tell them beforehand; another guest didn't, and it was very rude of her), and they had great ideas about what to do in Bristol, and a great dog named Mateo.
