I'm so glad we found The Watson! Our room on the top floor was large with a comfy king-size bed. Neither my husband nor I sleep well or travel especially well, but we slept well here.||||In the morning, the dining area was well equipped with coffee, fresh fruit, and other necessities and delights. We prefer to start our day with our tried-and-true brekkie, and the guest refrigerator let us do that.||||We're very pandemic-cautious, and we felt comfortable here. We masked when others were around and ate in our room. Everyone was friendly and respectful.||||Often we choose an Airbnb/VRBO for the privacy and comforts of home, but The Watson's owners are perfect hosts -- friendly and never intrusive. We enjoyed conversing with them and would definitely stay here again.||||We needed lodging near family we were visiting in the NW corner of Rhode Island. If not for that, we'd never have discovered this deeply appealing corner of Connecticut. We walked around Thomson and admired the beautiful land and old stone walls. We dined well in nearby Putnam. We hope to come back and relax there...
