I've stayed at a lot of small inns and B & B's in my life, and the Scranton Seahorse Inn is one of the very best, clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and welcoming. Michael, the host, made me feel right at home and did everything possible to make my stay enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious. The inn is conveniently located within walking distance of a couple of very good restaurants and within a very short drive of the beaches and other local attractions, perfect for either a short getaway or a longer vacation.

Amazing and too short. Loveliest little B&B with one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Incredibly clean with updated bathroom(s). So quiet, even though almost full. Will be going back, regularly!

CT Midcoast B&B

The place was lovely - just right for a weekend getaway. It was easy to get in at night and the room was a good size. Bed was super comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows! Breakfast was plentiful and owner is very friendly. Easy to walk into town to all shops and restaurants and close to the beach - great location. All in all - highly recommend.

It sounds like you want this turned into a polished review. Here’s a refined version that keeps the warmth and enthusiasm of what you described: ### An Exceptional Bed & Breakfast Experience I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about this inn or the innkeeper. From the moment we checked in, everything was absolutely exceptional. Breakfast was truly farm-to-table and felt like such a special experience. We enjoyed a beautiful watermelon, strawberry, and peach salad with fresh herbs, spectacular zucchini muffins, and a delicious quiche. Fresh orange and cranberry juices were served in charming retro carafes, and the coffee was wonderful. There was also an amazing selection of teas. Everything was brought out piping hot and prepared with obvious care. What really made breakfast memorable, though, was the sense of community. Everyone sat together and ate as a group, which captured exactly what a bed and breakfast should be all about. It was warm, welcoming, and genuinely special. The inn itself was immaculate. Our room had absolutely everything we could have needed, including an abundance of helpful information. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the TV was very easy to use, and the closet was huge. Every detail had clearly been thought through. The innkeeper was wonderful—friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and readily available to answer all of our questions. The level of hospitality truly deserves my highest staff award! We absolutely loved everything about it

Bed comfy/Breakfast very good

This is an old house redone into a bed/breakfast. The bed was comfortable for a quick night stay, and the breakfast was very good that the host made himself. Was not wearing very clean attire when we met, but I feel that was just fine because he was a real down to earth person and very hospitable.

Another wonderful stay. We stayed in the Seahorse room again, with our 50 lb puppy this time. It worked better than I could have hoped and Michael made us feel right at home. Lots of great hikes to tire us out by evening and a comfy, quiet room in which to crash. Michael’s breakfasts beat any restaurant I’ve encountered. Absolutely delicious and plentiful. I highly recommend and look forward to our next visit.

Madison get away

This was a one night stay. The property is an older house in the city center. We were here to help a friend celebrate a birthday. The B&B was very close to the party making it easy to come and go. The room was small but comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic.

Superb enchantment of a cozy stay, up and away!

Superb enchantment of a cozy stay!!! Room, bed and bath (jacuzzi surprise) was just what the body and soul needed. Immaculately and warmly outfitted and for this full moon weekend near Halloween, it was burgeoning with hilarious and thoughtful Halloween & autumnal fare. Mike is a top chef/cook and a joy to know and be around (BTW, I wanted to sign the guest book and forgot) This location couldn't be more convenient to Madison's small, charming town center and the great ocean nearby.
