What guests think

At The Captain Stannard, travelers repeatedly praise the spotless, charming inn for its welcoming hosts, relaxing common spaces and porch, and a convenient, walkable location near the beach, dining, and shops with easy parking.

Continental breakfasts with homemade baked goods and fresh fruit are widely enjoyed, though several guests found them basic or expected a fuller offering. Rooms are quiet and tastefully decorated, with quality bedding and some spacious options, but a few are compact with small bathrooms, occasional A/C or fan noise, steep stairs, and no in-room TVs. Expect a cozy, well-run inn stay focused on comfort, calm, and friendly service.

The Captain Stannard house is a true gem in Westbrook. There are many restaurants, shops, parks, and beaches close by. The property has a private yard and a large rear porch for relaxation. My room was impeccably clean and spacious for being the smallest one in the house. Dianne was incredibly sweet and went out of her way to help all the guests.

Clean, classic, charming seaside New England inn. Unique in that it isn’t really staffed in the traditional sense but provided much more than we expected - 24 hour guest pantry, beautiful common spaces to relax, fresh cookies upon arrival, and basic breakfast. This will be our new go-to when we’re in the area.

The Captain Stannard B & B is a comfortable and welcoming spot. Nothing fancy - no in-room TV or workout room - but a large, gracious common room (with TV) and a coffee station tucked in a nearby nook. Carolyn, the owner, gave a warm welcome. My room was spacious and the bed super comfortable. Although it was March, I could imagine how nice it would be in the warmer weather to sit out on the extensive side porch overlooking the garden and private yard. For the hearty, warm blankets are provided to allow for porch sitting in colder months. The fresh fruit, yogurt and granola at breakfast were nice; the baked goods, disappointing. More importantly, the coffee was good. : ) I would stay again.

It's a beautiful inn & beautifully maintained. Wonderful wide porch & great supply of beach towels, chairs & games. There were only wooden, straight-backed chairs in the room, so that wasn't very comfortable. Tiny bathroom & no TV in the room which I guess is to be expected in an inn. People who like inns, would love this place. We've concluded that we're probably not "inn" people.

Our stay was great! My flight got in early, and the innkeeper was very kind to let me check in early. The room was clean, comfortable, and safe. The doors to the inn are locked with a keypad that every traveler has a unique code for safety. The first floor common area has a guestbook, a cabinet full of puzzles and other games, a TV, a kitchenette, and lots of seating. The kitchen has a large refrigerator that guests can access along with coffee, tea, and glassware. They also provide postcards with a picture of the inn on the front which I thought was fun! Breakfast is from 8-10 AM and is continental; however, I would say it's elevated continental since it includes a lot of homemade breakfast treat like berry cobbler on top of the regular bagels and oatmeal. I thought it tasted great! I would highly recommend this inn.

This Inn was updated, and had nice perks like free beach pass parking, free bikes to tour area and decent continental bfast to get your day started. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Since the TV is in the 1 st floor living room, (with an abundance of board games) there wasn't any ambient TV noise through the walls or in the halls. A great feature for light sleepers. Bring a book or your I Pad, if you need to zone out.

My wife and I stopped for one night on our way elsewhere and found ourselves wishing we could have stayed longer! The innkeeper Dianne was tremendous. She called me on the day of our check in to get my ETA, and when she heard we’d not arrive until about 45 mins after regular check in time, she still waited to greet us and show us around! The room was cute and incredibly comfortable. The common area had some fun games to play, the continental breakfast had so many yummy choices, and the beach was a super close walk away. Would stay here again in a heartbeat the next time we’re passing through!

We were the only residents for the night we stayed here. The communication was clear and the room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom fan was noisy and the heat was set too high when we arrived, but those were our only minor complaints. Breakfast was continental and waiting for us when we got up. We would absolutely return.

The room was beautiful and quite large, wonderfully decorated and exceptionally clean. The porch was such a nice, comfortable and quiet spot to relax. From the check-in cookies to the individualized check-out this was an excellent location and stay. I would highly recommend staying here for a pleasant and more personalized experience.

The walls were thin and another party conversed at 2 am for a long time. The breakfast was terrible. I am not accustomed to a cold breakfast when staying at a place billed are a BnB. I could have stayed at a chain hotel and had a better breakfast there.

We stayed two nights in the Captain Jedediah Post room. It was freezing outside, but the room was toasty warm. You can control the temperature yourself. Even the bathroom had a heater. The room definitely gave you a historic country vibe due to the decor and furniture which were restored antiques. No TV in the room (which was is a good thing). The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were perfect. Breakfast was continental, with a variety of baked goods and fresh fruit. Neighborhood was quiet. We had a well rested 2 night’s sleep. The room was very clean. We definitely will be back again.
