Getting ready for a great new year….

2015Another new year is upon us…..dare I say already..

If you are still in the planning stages of how you’ll welcome 2015 it’s not too late.   There are rooms available here at the Scranton Seahorse Inn and we checked a few of our favorite great local restaurants and there are tables available too.

Don’t wait too much longer though.  Call us today and we’ll be glad to book you a room and help book you a table at either Elizabeth’s Cafe, Bar Bouchee, The Wharf, or Cafe Routier.

Your room rate includes a late (10am – 11am) hot full breakfast with champagne mimosas and noon time check out.    If you want to stay (or can’t get out of bed)  on January 1, 2015 your room is 50% off.

Enjoy the last few days of 2014 and get yourself ready for a GREAT 2015.

See you at the inn !

 

An overnight stay, a cooking class, and dinner – all for 1 price!

Souper Sundays 

Spicy Red Pepper SoupThere are many things we do here on the Connecticut shoreline in order to coexist with the cold New England weather.   From skiing and skating to reading and hibernating, we each have our own ways to keep from going stir-crazy during Old Man Winter’s annual visit.  One of my own favorite winter rituals is to make homemade soup.    It’s healthy (well…sometimes!), satisfying and delicious, which means that in one pot I get to fulfill all of my promises to myself: live healthier, cook at home more, and eat better.

The aromas that fill the inn are second only to the reward of eating a bowl of hot homemade goodness.    I enjoy it so much that I have have started sharing my ritual with our overnight Sunday guests and am calling it Souper Sundays.   All guests that check in on Sunday are invited into the kitchen to help me prepare what will become the Sunday supper that we will share at dinner time.   It’s a time to bring the ever-changing Scranton Seahorse Inn guest community together to do something fun, healthy and,  if we do it right – utterly delicious.

Book your room with us and enjoy a perfect stay at a classic Connecticut bed and breakfast that includes a cooking class and dinner with (new) friends.   Bring your own favorite wine if you wish, and we’ll provide the soup, bowls, and spoons!

  • December 14th:   Butternut Squash with Sage and Apple  &  New England Style Clam Chowder
  • December 21st:   Creamy Chicken Chowder & Spicy Red Pepper Bisque

See you at the inn!

 

 

 

Last Minute Specials – February 7-10

 

Hammonassett Feb 2014We’ve already had our fair share of snow here on the east coast.    Fortunately for us that also brings with it a unique beauty for all to appreciate.   The photo here is one I took as the dogs and I were out walking early one morning through Hammonassett State Park.

Looking for a last minute getaway this weekend?  All of our remaining rooms for this weekend are discounted to just $110 per night.   The Scranton Seahorse Inn is conveniently located in the center of Madison on the Connecticut shoreline which makes it a great place to sneak away to for a night or two.      So, whether you’re in need of a place where you can put your feet up and relax in front of a fire, or a quiet retreat where you and your best friend can play a game, build a puzzle, or hide in your room with a bottle of wine and a movie, or if you’re looking to do some coastal exploring, we are here to help and have everything you need.

Call us today at 203.245.0550 to book your getaway at the Scranton Seahorse Inn.  A full breakfast is always is included.

Couples Getaway Package

Experts say that active adults and parents need set aside one night a month to get away.   They call it a “date night”.   Household chores, kids sporting events, birthday parties, and endless other activites keep that from happening on most weekends.  The Scranton Seahorse Inn has put together an all inclusive package for just $300 that will allow friends and lovers to escape in the middle of the week without the hassle of planes, trains, or security check points.    

A one hour massage for each of you by our Licensed Massage Therapist Bob McCandlish is just one of the highlights of your getaway.   Also included is an early noon time check in into a standard queen room, a bottle of wine,  and a full breakfast in the morning.

You’ll love our guest rooms.   All include a private bath, fluffy comfy robes, deluxe bath amenities, free WiFi and a TV with DVD player (and hundreds of movies in our DVD library for you to borrow!).     We can arrange for dinner reservations or you can stay in, enjoy your wine, order a cheese plate and simply escape from the daily hustle and bustle and relax…..

Sit down with your calendars, find a good night for a date and call Scranton Seahorse Inn to schedule your peaceful getaway package.
