I was in Newtown for business reasons and a friend suggested staying at the Dana-Holcome house, which is right in the middle of town. I agreed and boy, was I surprised. The house itself is absolutely immaculate, the rooms are large, distinct and beautifully decorated. Though the architecture looks like it is an historic home, it was actually built recently,... More

Inside, the rooms and suites are commodious, fetching, and classy. The owners,... More

A wonderfully cared for & decorated facility. The host & hostess were charming and helpful as we're the puppies. The location is convenient and the grounds are well maintained. Whenever we are in the area we plan on staying at the Dana Holcombe house.

We stayed at this beautiful inn because we had a birthday party to attend in Newtown. Have never been to this part of CT before and we were pleasantly surprised at its' beauty. The owners of this inn, John and Jane could not have been more accommodating. This inn had been rebuilt after a fire claimed the original building. It... More

I just returned from a weekend at this absolutely stunning guest house in Newtown, Ct. It has to be the finest and most tastefully decorated guest house I've ever experienced, and I HAVE stayed in many guest houses in many states and in several coutries. There is exquisite attention to detail, as if every painting and every article of furniture... More

We stayed at the Dana Holcombe House over Labor Day weekend in conjunction with a family wedding at the house. Our stay was incredible. The house is immaculate and so tastefully done, pride and love throughout the house. John and Jane (the innkeepers) were unfailing kind and generous with their time and hospitality. They made us feel as if we... More

Enjoyed our stay very much as this is a very beautiful place, and when I left my video camera there, somehow they found out I was down the street and brought it to me(still don't know how that happened but was pleasantly surprised)

We stayed overnight in this elegant, impeccably managed, and friendly B&B. The rooms are tastefully furnished and have all needed amenities in excellent condition.. The breakfast was delicious. A real find and quite reasonably priced. Harold Basser
