THE OLD LYME INN

Luxury, comfort and old-world charm are the hallmarks of this historic residence. Renovated and refurbished, the owners have turned it into a friendly, family-run inn. It has 14 rooms, divided between the old and new buildings. A bar and renowned jazz club attract visitors at weekends, as does the restaurant, which has built up a solid reputation since opening in 2012. The menu changes weekly and varies with the seasons. The jazzy Sunday brunch is very popular, so be sure to book ahead.
