Lovely, quiet and super clean

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.

The host/owner Michael is a wonderful host. Other reviewers have complimented the breakfast he prepares...they did not exaggerate. The breakfasts are healthy, delicious, innovative, fresh...outstanding. Our room, #8, is large, clean, has its own private entrance, and a great new shower. This B&B is located in downtown Madison in a walkable area. The house is a large, charming building constructed in 1833. Excellent accomodations.

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.

This was the perfect overnight stay for us! The property is a true New England gem and Michael's breakfast was delicious! Comfy bed, cute rooms. Very clean. Awesome to be able to come out the front door to a safe sidewalk and stroll on block into town for shopping and food! I can't wait to use this as my Madison mainstay :)

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.
