Breakfast is one of the highlights of your stay at The Stirling House B&B. Our full breakfast menu is created by our chef, Clayton, who recently received additional training at The French Culinary Institute in Manhattan. His "Stirling House Dutch Pancake" recipe was recently featured in Project Foodie. Request one for breakfast!
Let us help you discover our world class wineries and vineyards with a day of wine tasting or unwind on our wraparound porch and be mesmerized by the constantly changing water views of Shelter Island. Explore quaint shops, art galleries and museums, all just a few short steps from our resort inn. Dine on fresh, bold contemporary cuisine from any of our award winning area restaurants.
Nous parlons francais. There is a strong European sense to the house, as it is filled with collectables from France and Germany. Clay owns a rental apartment in Paris, so he is constantly on the lookout for unusual items to bring back to the B&B.
Easily reachable from New York City, via the Hampton Jitney or LIRR, The Stirling House Bed and Breakfast embraces its automobile-free, environmentally friendly guests, where your comfort is our only concern.
Open year-round, our attention to detail and pampering of our guests have made our bed and breakfast a Long Island Wine Country favorite! Whether you bring or rent a bicycle and go cycling through our quaint streets or take to the water on one of our exclusive lighthouse cruises, the Stirling House will strive to make your stay an outstanding experience.
Once you see the harbor from the wraparound front porch and our guest rooms (each with ensuite private bath,) and once you relax in the available whirlpool tub or unwind with the New York Times in front of the fireplace, you'll think of The Stirling House first for Greenport village and wine country accommodations. We are the longest running, continuously owned Greenport B&B for a reason...you!
