My husband and i wanted a special anniversary getaway and chose Greenport for its charm, shopping, wineries and charm. In researching places to stay I came across the Stirling House and was impressed by its ratings, reviews and sense of peace and charm it offered. I was not disappointed. Clay, the owner is warm, friendly and extremely helpful when asked about where to go for dinner, where to explore etc. The room overlooked Shelter Island and the bed and accommodations were all very comfortable - we had a great night's sleep. Only noise in the neighborhood are the birds. We were able to use the front porch and have a glass of wine before dinner, and even after dinner we hung out there. But one of the biggest and best surprises were the breakfasts! They are served at 9:30 and for us early birds that elt a bit late - we were ready to go exploring by then, but we stayed, and oh boy are we glad we stayed. These are 5-star gourmet breakfasts Clay prepares himself. Amazing - Instagram worthy for dure - and oh the flavor! We stayed 2 nights - and morning one was fresh fruit with yogurt and honey, a bacon cheese omelet with home fried potatoes and hot lemon blueberry scones. Day two was creme Brule French toast and fresh berries and sausage. Oh and also fresh squeezed juices and coffee and teas. WOW! I will certainly stay here again - it may become our anniversary tradition! Clay gives returning guests a special discount. He has been here 24 years and is one of the nicest most accommodating hosts I've ever had at a B&B. Thank you Clay!
