After nearly 14 years of welcoming guests into our home we closed "Touch of Ireland Guest House" in June of 2013. It then became our personnel residence until we put it on the market in May of 2014. We then downsized to a condo in a nearby town to be closer to our daughter. Our reason for closing the B & B is that in Feb 2013 my husband Michael was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. Since surgery was not an option he started chemotherapy in March 2013. Because of his illness and the treatments side effects we found that we were unable to continue running the B & B and serving our guests in the manner that we had in the past. We welcomed our last guests in May of 2013 for Yale Graduation. We truly miss welcoming people from all over the world into our home. The house (former B & B) is located at the fringes of the Yale University campus. Being an urban B & B located near 5 universities we had to do very little advertising. New Haven is definitely a college town of around 130,000 people and is considered the cultural and gastronomic center of CT. It is located between New York and Boston. Because of its location we did very little advertising over those 14 years other than our website and being listed on BBonline.com and BedandBreakfast.com. We were also listed on the CT and New Haven websites.
Listed below is our listing on Realtor.com. Although we are selling it as a personal residence, the setup and location is perfect for a small urban bed and breakfast.
