I feel truly honored for crossing thru the door and look forward to returning."– Robin D.

The Captain Stannard House Bed and Breakfast Country Inn  in Westbrook CT is the perfect destination in every season. It is the ideal atmosphere to explore spring love, one charming block from the beach in summer, the perfect setting to experience autumn in New England, and ideal for a romantic winter getaway.

Enjoy the quiet, uncluttered space of our Inn as travelers and friends have for over 135 years. Our spacious and welcoming common areas provide the perfect atmosphere to make new friends over a cup of coffee or game of chess. After a stay with us, you will have found your own home away from home on the Connecticut Shoreline.

The Inn offers 3200 sq. ft. and invites you to socialize among a large group and to have no worries about the weather or need to go anywhere else. The space is a converted barn with high ceilings and lots of New England charm that was brought onto the estate in the 1930's and used as the town dance hall.

"We just wanted to thank you again for making our stay at your B&B this past weekend so wonderful! All of our family couldn't say enough good things about the accommodations & how well it worked out for all of us to stay there together. It was so great to be able to hang out together in the common areas that would have not been possible in a motel. The breakfasts you prepared were all delicious & we really appreciated all the "extras" that you provided for our stay (i.e. snacks in the room, stocked mini-fridge, etc.). We really felt like we were staying in the home of friends. Thanks again for everything."        Bill, Karen, and Corey
