Only negative was a loose towel hook in the bathroom, which Michael had been meaning to fix. In an ideal world, the outlets in the room would have been a little easier to reach, especially next to the bed.

Michael, the owner and host, is a former culinary student and pastry chef who makes a great breakfast that includes variety of locally sourced egg dishes with light and tasty scones and fresh fruit. He is very knowledgeable about the area and can make excellent recommendations for farmer's markets, antiques, etc., and also sells $10 passes for nearby public beaches. The B&B is very quaint and comfortable - our Garden room was a good size with a newly renovated bathroom - and has nice common areas with coffee, tea, books, DVDs. The B&B is unbelievably close (1 minute walk) to downtown Madison with shops and restaurants and a movie theater. It is also a quick 10 minute drive to the nice beaches and trails at Hammonasset State Park ($15 fee for out of staters). Parking is easy in a reserved area (3 cars seem to fit) next to the B&B or on the street (which is parallel to the main road). Highly recommend the Scranton Seahorse Inn for trips to Madison or nearby CT coast. The price seemed very much in line or somewhat cheaper than comparable places in the area during peak summer season.

Beautiful house and grounds, and right in town, so it was easy to walk to local restaurants and shops.

We can’t think of anything that would have improved our stay.

The inn far exceeded any expectations. Michael was cordial and attentive, his breakfasts were 5 star. The room was very comfortable and as a bonus, we slept extremely well. The grounds are beautiful and the location is ideal, just a short walk to an interesting little town.

The bathrooms could use an update, but they were more than sufficient.

Historic charm, large suite like room with a porch right off the room that was shared with all guests, but we had it to ourselves the entire time. The breakfasts were delicious and we met some very nice people.

My wife and I loved the small town vibe and the proximity to restaurants and shopping. The Inn itself is very cozy and has its own charm. Michael is a very welcoming host and served up a wonderful breakfast during our stay.

Wish it had swimming pool the sign needs to be a little bigger and a little expensive for the week day wish the room had a little refrigerator to keep our drinks cold

Very quite place great breakfast old fashioned just great overall first time there

It's a rambling old property (which accounts for its charm), but some of the fixtures seem a little tired and could use updating.

Breakfast was superb both days. Great buttermilk pancakes, blueberry scones. The proprietor knows what he's doing in the kitchen.

It was charming , quiet and comfortable yet right in the center of things. I was there for Books by the Sea at R Julia’s and everything was in walking distance.

I have no suggestions except possibly instructions on how to play a DVD on the TV. The remote did not work for movies. Fortunately my husband figured it out quickly.

Scranton Seahorse Inn was easy to find just off the main street of Madison. Check-in was well-prepared for guests to take their keys with instructions to locate the room prepared for them. The entire first floor was common area with a large dining room and two smaller sitting rooms. The front room contained a library of DVDs. Beautifully decorated. The room and bed were extremely comfortable. There is a TV in every room with ability to insert a DVD, controls are on the side of the TV. Coffee or tea was available in reception area. Breakfast included juices, morning cakes and homemade waffles with fruit compote and sausage patty. Very pleasant stay on New Year's Eve. Very quiet, very pleasant. Madison is beautiful. Highly suggest visiting Meig's Point Nature Center.

our room was nice - but the bed was very high - I could have used a stool to get into bed. the house is very old so the floor in the bedroom was slanted - not a big surprise.

the location was great. The downstairs area was very pretty and spacious. The breakfasts were also very good.

I’m sure it’s just these older homes where showers are installed much later and so separate from the sink & toilet.

It’s a quaint home cleverly decorated for Halloween. The host Mike was very accommodating and we were very appreciative. Good location.

The only reason we stayed at the Inn was because i wasnt going to Conneticut and stay in a basic motel. We just spent the night on our way to Boston so for a B&B i thought the rate was high. Maybe that is normal for the area.

The breakfast was very good. It was definitely not a typical breakfast.
