William’s Grant Inn Bed & Breakfast

Love the homey feel of the place. The hosts are great, rooms fully equipped, and breakfast was yummy. We had freshly baked banana pistacchio muffin and french toast. Yummy! Overall good experience.
The host gave us good tips on where to go and cool trivia. The farmer’s market every saturday for example was a good suggestion.
Good location too, central and walking distance from all the good restos and shops.

Located close to all that Bristol has to offer! Nicely furnished. Very clean. Delicious breakfast. Diane and Warren are great hosts providing a wonderful B & B experience. Highly recommend!

I chose to accommodate myself, my mother, my then fiancé’s mother and aunt, and my 5 bridesmaids at the William’s Grant Inn after some research into affordable, but adorable B&B’s in the Bristol area. I am so happy we stayed here as Diane and Warren were wonderful hosts, who made us feel welcome and at home the day before my wedding. The various rooms have different themes and colors. There was even a quaint koi pond in the backyard! We rented out all the rooms the night before our wedding, and all of the women enjoyed their stay in comfortable beds and with warm showers and clean robes to boot!
Diane and Warren’s hospitality and great service were even more evident the following morning (my wedding day). Our complementary breakfast included delicious, hearty and home-​made french toast, muffins, yogurt, fruit, OJ, milk, coffee, tea and eggs. We used the sitting/​common room upstairs for getting ready, having my freelance hair and makeup artists work with us here. We were also allowed an extended checkout time of 1pm, and the hosts were gracious enough to hold our belongings and luggage for pick up after the wedding.
My wedding took place at Linden Place in Bristol, an amazing venue, just a few blocks from this quaint inn.
I highly recommend this inn to those who relish in homegrown service, hospitality, and vintage, adorable flair!
Disclaimer: I thought most of the beautiful rooms at the inn had somewhat of a feminine appeal, so check with your boyfriend or husband if they can take the cuteness :)

I really enjoyed my stay here. From the beginning the customer service was great. I needed to change my plans due to weather and Warren was very flexible and accomodating. The room was nice and clean and there were two homebaked cookies awaiting us on arrival. There are also candy bowls and liquer that guests can help themselves to, which adds to the feeling of being at home created by the warm hosts. Warren and Diane are very helpful in providing reccomendations of activities, shops, restaurants, etc. Their suggestions definitely improved our trip. Bristol is very nice and walkable from the inn. The breakfasts were both very yummy (egg and cheese soufflé and grand marnier french toast) and I felt that my every need (orange juice, more coffee, etc.) was taken care of instantly.
We were in the garden room which is kind of away from other rooms and we had no problem with noise. Since I hadn’t been to a B&B before I didn’t realize that I wouldn’t have my own personal TV and refrigerator in my room; they’re shared. Just a heads up to others who aren’t familiar. I would definitely come here again.

What a great location. This B&B is a block away from a strip of antique shops, restaurants and other little stores. It’s extremely peaceful here with barely any cars driving by. Diane and Warren and extremely welcoming and offered great advice as to where to eat (Persimmon — best meal I’ve ever had and I live in NYC). There were 2 freshly baked homemade chocolate chip cookies waiting for us in our room. Warren made a delicious omelet on our first morning while Diane entertained us with they’re travel stories. The second day we received blueberry pancakes and a pear & ginger muffin. Both meals began with delicious fruit bowls. We will definitely back. I highly recommend this place.

My first impression of this place was terrible. There was supposed to be some severe weather on the day we were meant to arrive. I called up the day before and just inquired about what to do if the weather was so bad that we were unable to make it. Although I didn’t intend to cancel the reservation, the man on the phone was incredibly rude. It ruined my whole impression of the B&B. It was fine when we got there and everyone was very nice (but we didn’t have any problems). The breakfast was great and the room was comfortable. I would have preferred to be upstairs because I imagine it would have been quieter. It would have been a great stay if the man who answered the phone hadn’t been so rude to me. Probably best not to upset your customers before they arrive at your B&B!

Cute place. Adorable rooms. Quiet. Great breakfast. Recommend to all.

We stayed two nights at this very cozy, comfortable B & B as a gift from our kids and had a great experience, otherwise may never have visited Bristol. We found it a scenic seaport town and the neighborhood and Inn were so convenient. The best was Diane and Warren the Inn keepers. Diane was a delightful hostess, tour guide and travel advisor. her dirctions were super. They also Prepared us amazing breakfasts. Together they are a great couple and went out of their way to even return items we forgot and left behind. Highly recommend!

Great B & B — we stayed two nights. Bed was very comfortable, the inn keepers — Diane and Warren were very warm and hospitable, and codi — their pet dog was really cute and adorable. The breakfast both of them whipped up was awesome! Would def re-​visit and recommend to family/​friends.

Kim and Liz were managing for the winter months while the owners were travelling and did a fine job. It is expensive for what it is — but that’s Bristol… a very charming old seaport town. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, but the pillows were hugely thick– so much so that I had a crick in my neck all the next day. The décor is bit over the top– especially with a clutter of teddy bears upstairs– but there are nice welcoming touches — like H.M. cookies on arrival, and help yourself port and sherry in the upstairs parlor. Gas fireplaces are working (and, surprisingly, unprotected by a screen or glass) and very cozy. This Inn is not a good choice if you have kids. If you are a light sleeper, stay upstairs– not in the Nautical room right off the kitchen/​dining area. Too bad that is the only room with a Jacuzzi tub!
You will feel very much at home here, and can walk to the many restaurants and waterfront.

Stayed two nights at the William Grant Inn. Bristol is a beautiful seaport town with such charm and a historic feel. The William Grant Inn fits right in. This early 1800s home has been converted into a comfortable B&B. Diane is a wonderful host who will make you feel at home, give you great advice for your visit, go out of the way to help, and makes an amazing breakfast. The location is very close to downtown in a beautiful residential area. Definitely recommend this Inn.

WOW what an adventure that led us here but am I glad it did!
We decided to take a trip to RI on a graduation-​filled weekend and also decided to wing the accommodation! First night, Friday, we got lucky and got rooms at the Westin! But Saturday was impossible! We decided to drive up to Newport instead, expecting rooms to be available more easily outside of the Brown University area. Were we wrong! After calling about 40 places on our drive, we hit it lucky very late at night in this place.
But the place was Grrrrrreat!!! The couple who own and run this place were wonderful and very hospitable! The rooms were much nicer than most B&B/Inns! The breakfast they prepared was also quite amazing — especially the muffins!
The place is clean, comfortable and gorgeous! Highly recommended! We did, however, pay up for what we got! It could be that the night was busy or the place itself charges more than other B&Bs!!!
