Three Village Inn

Location: Across the street from a neat shopping plaza of sorts --- shops, restaurants, coffee shops, a superb tea service place (...though they all close early...), and the best of all, the harbor and the beach. Because it's not exactly a tourist trap, the lovely neighborhood is very quite, great for a relaxing getaway. (At least it was in early March when it was still cold). The locals are very amiable, friendly folks. Staff: Absolutely courteous, knowledgable and personable.

What we did not like: The in-house bar / restaurant was closed when we stayed there.

the inn is lovely, quaint. I was thrilled to stay there rather than a chain hotel. the grounds are pleasant, near the water and a little shopping area. very clean and hospitable.

well, it is off-season which is likely why it was so economical, but it felt a bit abandoned. I would have loved there to have been coffee available at reception in the morning. only a little machine in the room, so you can make coffee, but only have powder creamer. The little “village” mall was two steps away though, so that was just a petty preference on my part.

The central placement right at the harbor and across from the commons filled with shopping food entertainment music and more. Local parks and nearby towns offer even more amenities and site seeing!

I did not realize when booking that there are no continental breakfasts or commissary amenities such as waters or snacks at the hotel front desk. lack or a room fridge or ice. The tv services were a little spotty and the room air conditioner had to be services to function. Mostly addressed by the staff in a timely manner!

Three Village Inn is located in the small village of Stony Brook and it is a totally cute, relaxing getaway, nestled between a small beach, a marina & harbor, and an adorable shopping area in colonial style buildings all walking distances. The Inn only serves lunch & dinner but bar is open by noon with beautiful seating inside or outside, lovely staff, and for breakfast, walking distance in the beautiful shopping center is an adorable 50's-style diner/coffee shop called Crazy Beans that had amazing breakfast & coffee! The location of the Inn is lovely - right on the marina/harbor & you can walk across the street to the Kayak/paddleboard rental (the kayaking was gorgeous), Discovery wetlands boat tour & walk out to the right to the small beach or out to the left to the shopping center with beautiful shops & its a 7 minute Uber from the LIRR train to the hotel (plus there is an Avis & Budget car rental by the train if you want to rent a car). NOTE it is a bit of a wait sometimes for an Uber, so we arrived and walked to DJ's Clam shack, got lobster rolls while waiting 45 minutes for the Uber. (Did then use the same guy the rest of the visit so was easier to get rides after that). Also for a GORGEOUS evening, you can get an Uber/taxi from the Inn about 8 minute drive to the West Meadow beach right on the open LI Sound for the most stunning sunsets. Plus when the tide is lower you can walk out onto sandbars - the water was perfect. Go to the shopping area beforehand to the cheese store to get some treats and wine (or the very nice wine store next to that) and have a picnic at the West Meadow beach! Water shoes recommended because the beaches there are all stones/pebbles. Three Village Inn & Stony Brook are a great summer weekend getaway! Would totally visit again!

The room itself was a little tired, walls around the fireplace had paint chipping and the lighting was not great inside the cottage, felt a bit dark. But the room was clean, cozy and comfortable and when you step outside there is a beautiful view of the marina & harbor

me and my husband liked the area. We were able to take a walk through the town in the evening. It was very personable cute, and we liked that. You can see the weddings on the property from our room.

The only thing that I could say that we didn’t really like was it was hot and the air conditioner only blew out hot air and wasn’t able to blow out cold air so we open the window, but there wasn’t a screen. But it still worked out fine.

No breakfast was included at this time. We did have dinner at their restaurant and it was an all around great experience ; lovely facility, superb wait staff and we both had a most delicious dinner of duck. With the exception of one person, the staff was all very pleasant, helpful and responsive to our requests ( for ice, directions, dining suggestions, etc.) We loved the general village location, the Inn and grounds are lovely - overall a very peaceful and relaxing trip.Easy walk to shops, restaurants, marina and a small beach.

It would have been nice if the layer of pollen had been hosed off of the porch. There should also have been more seating and at least one more small table on the porch, so at least 4 people could sit there at one time. A small refridgerator in the room would certainly be nice to have.

Enjoyed the quaintness Nice view of bay area. Good restaurant in inn. Nice lounge with fire place. The location was very good for us to visit family. Old world charm and very clean. Wonderful place to stay for active people.

Way too many steps up and down. Basically, although we enjoyed our stay there is very little ability for the inn to accommodate the handicapped. There are stairs with bricks underfoot that make it difficult for older people. There is no fridge or microwave and although there is a coffee maker there is no place for breakfast. Recommend elderly stay elsewhere.

The property is in a beautiful area of Long Island (right in Stony Brook and near the University). The cabins are clean and quiet and plenty of space to spread out. Overall the place is very nice and easy to get around. The dock nearby is enjoyable for a quiet walk and to watch the sunset in the evening. The location can’t be beat and the way the units are laid out are great (including the sitting area outside of the unit - a reminder of times past.

I’m a bit of a stickler but I don’t really care for the Keurig coffee makers that many places have adopted but what really is disappointing is that we are only given 1 K-cup of caffeinated coffee, 1 K-cup of decaf, and 1 K-cup of tea. I realize that this is a tiny issue but when I wake up (especially after a long day of travel) I really would like large cups of good, strong coffee - and the Keurig machines just don’t do that - and preferably more than one.

There was no breakfast served the day I was there but I got something locally. I like the layout with all the separate buildings and the location was great. The staff was also nice and very helpful.

The door knob to my bathroom was really loose, almost falling off. The air conditioner was really loud and the walls seem pretty thin as I could hear the conversation of a couple in the room next to me, luckily they weren't up really late.

Charming location right next to the water and Stony Brook Village, quaint and charming, and we loved going to nearby Crazy Beans for coffee in the morning.

The rooms are smallish, and in the main inn there are steep stairs to the second floor.
