Modern comfort meets 1840s charm in a classic New England setting.

Welcome to The O’Connell House; your home away from home in Southeastern Connecticut.


Set in the heart of Colchester’s historic downtown Village District just across from the Town Green, The O’Connell House is an 1840 Greek Revival that has been thoughtfully renovated into a Bed & Breakfast with historic touches and modern hospitality.

Our home offers four unique guest rooms that sleep up to twelve for overnight accommodations. Additionally, we offer whole house rental, which includes space on the main floor in our Dining and Drawing Rooms; ideal for small private events, group celebrations, intimate gatherings or stylish film/photo shoots.

If you are visiting Connecticut for recreation, we are conveniently situated “20 minutes from everything.”  Take a short drive to explore our region’s beautiful landscape, nearby shoreline and family activities; or spend the day local, walking around Colchester’s 320-year-old downtown to visit its history museum, shops and restaurants.


Our four bedrooms provide comfortable and modern amenities for guests visiting one night or more. In true B&B fashion, we provide complimentary breakfast every morning.

The whole house is available for hourly rental. Whether to shoot a creative project or prep for your big day, the main floor and guest rooms offer ample space for groups larger than twelve to convene.
