Considering Swanson House,Bristol, has anyone stayed there??

We need to stay very close to RWUniversity for a weekend in the spring. There are no reviews of this property that I can find and they do not have a website. Does anyone have any experience staying here? How long ago were you there? Thanks!

I haven%26#39;t stayed there but I can tell you this. It%26#39;s a great location and area.. It%26#39;s also very close to RWU and the water.. I%26#39;m sure it would be a great place to stay a few nights. Like I said I can%26#39;t offer you any inside info but if you%26#39;d like I can take some pics for you of the area. I live 2 minutes from this place and drive by it on a daily basis.

If you%26#39;d like me to do that the send me an e-mail at ewal386583@aol.com and we%26#39;ll discuss it thru e-mails.

Bristol is quaint yet I dont know about the B%26amp;B We never heard of it.

Thank you Guy from RI and Luckypier. I got to know and love the area since my son has been going to RWU for 3 years. Bristol Harbor Inn is booked the weekend I need and so is the Williams Grant Inn. I was happy with both these places and thought to try something new. But the Swanson House has no web site and when I call them and left a message they did not return my call.

Although they are closest to the school I think I%26#39;ll skip over them since no one seems to be able to recommend them - not even other B %26amp; B%26#39;s who often recommend each other. If anyone else asks for a B %26amp; B in the area I can vouch for the Williams Grant Inn.

We stayed there in the fall of 2005, it was clean, very comfortable, the owners were wonderful hosts, private bathrooms and a most delicious and memorable breakfast.

I, too, was curious and I did find a web site. It looks beautiful and sounds perfect for us. I also just spoke with the owner and am very likely going to choose this for a short stay in Sept. The rate is quite reasonable, however, you%26#39;ll be on your own for breakfast. This is fine with me--gives us an opportunity to look around Bristol.

Thank you all for your responses to my question. We live in NY and my son went back to Bristol for their big 4th of July celebration and he did us a favor and stopped in the Swanson House to view it and meet the owners. He said it was a lovely home, clean and neat and less than a mile from his school, RWU. He met Mrs. Swanson who was delighted to show him the rooms and she was a lovely person.

I subsequently called her and booked the weekend I need for my son%26#39;s graduation next year. It is close enough that I can walk, just in case the traffic into the school is very bad that day. She sounds like a very lovely lady and had nice things to say to me about my son! She told me she just recently launched their web site. Her price is in line with other B %26amp; B%26#39;s in the area, but you are renting a 2 bedroom suite not just one room. If you have more than 2 people you must add $75 extra per person. For just 2 it is reasonable but for 4 it is a bit high. For graduation weekend, I will take it anyway and I may need it for 4 people.

Erinh - let me know how you enjoy your stay in Bristol. Send me a note if you want any imput from me about Bristol. September is a great month to visit RI. I have gotten to know the town over the past 3 years, and it is quaint and cute and has some good restaurants, good antique shopping, beautiful gardens and museums. People are friendly. If you like boating you can take cruises in the harbor. Bikes are available to rent and there are plenty of paths with plenty to see. Nearby, Newport is also fun to visit. Unfortunately, I don%26#39;t know Providence that well. Help for that is available on this forum from others.
