Circa 1872. Abundant in history, space and charm, Captain Stannard House is a sea captain's manor located on the Connecticut shore in quaint Westbrook. Experience this all-season home away from home for a romantic winter getaway, spring renewal, autumnal adventure or summer love at the beach. Stay in a delightfully furnished guest bedroom with individual climate control, desk and sitting area. Anticipate a satisfying candlelit breakfast in the warm and inviting dining room. Linger with morning coffee or an evening glass of wine by the fire in the great room or on the huge south porch overlooking landscaped grounds. Add a piece to the ongoing jigsaw puzzle in the Captain's Room. Visit the nearby casinos, go to the theater and take a wine-tasting tour of Chamard Vineyard. Ask about specials and packages.

Innkeeper Note

The Inn was asked to share one of our breakfast recipes to be included in the 'What's Cooking CT Shoreline'? cookbook now in bookstores. Our delicious 'Cheesebake' is highlighted in the book and is one of the recipes that Mary's mother prepared regularly for her and her siblings. It is a personal favorite of many of our guests as well.

The Innkeepers, Mary, Jim and "right hand gal" Helen, provide a B&B experience that is unparalleled. The Inn is meticulous and the breakfast delicious. Aside from touring the Connecticut River Valley, we spent long, lazy hours on the south porch. Mary's attention to detail leaves nothing lacking. And if there is something you need/want that you don't see provided, Mary will happily and promptly see that you get it. We were more than "just comfortable" there. This is the 8th reunion in various venues of our group of 19 and everyone agreed overwhelmingly that it was the best and we would return next May.
