Westbrook Inn Bed & Breakfast October Newsletter 2025

Make your stay even more memorable

October In Westbrook

Autumn is a magical time on the Connecticut shoreline, with brilliant foliage, cool breezes, and countless ways to celebrate the season. For a truly special October getaway, discover two of the nation's top 10 orchards—both just a short drive from Westbrook Inn!

Bishop's Orchards in Guilford (approx 15 minutes from the Inn), recently named #6 in the country by USA Today, is the perfect place to embrace classic New England traditions. Enjoy vibrant apple picking, wagon rides, a whimsical "Connecticut/New Haven Pizza" corn maze, and a pumpkin patch in full swing. The whole orchard comes alive with family-friendly activities, delicious food trucks on select weekends, and treats like their legendary apple cider donuts. Don't forget to visit the farm store for fresh pies, produce, and unique gifts.


Up the Connecticut River valley, Lyman Orchards in Middlefield—ranked #1 orchard in the U.S.—offers sprawling pick-your-own fields and a lively fall atmosphere among rolling hills. Wander through orchards bursting with apples and pumpkins, tackle their creative corn maze, and savor fresh-baked pies at the Apple Barrel market. October weekends are filled with fun events and scenic farm views perfect for making lasting memories. (Lyman Orchards is approximately 30 minutes from the Inn.)


Experience the best of Connecticut's fall, just minutes from your home base at Westbrook Inn. Book your stay, embrace the season, and treat yourself to the joys of autumn at our celebrated local orchards.
