Madison's best restaurants are steps away from our front door. Park your car in the driveway, relax and walk everywhere. Did you know you can take Metro North and Shoreline East right into Madison center?
In addition to quality linens and eco-friendly amenities, all of our guest rooms are outfitted with a private bath. Each room has heating and AC controls, and cable TV with a DVD player. We have a collection of over 150 DVD's in our library for you to enjoy while you are relaxing in your cozy guest room.
Each of our rooms has a personality of it's own. From classic & cozy to charming & ecclectic. Pick the one that suits you the best and we'll make you feel like you're right at home.
It's the whimsical collection of items in Long Island Mist guest room makes this the innkeepers' favorite. A captains ship, a collection of books and shells atop the original built in drawers, the wall art and the morning sunshine makes this room feel like your somewhere special. And you are!
We are an green hotel. We provide earth friendly amenities from Save Your World and use chemical free cleaning products from Branford, CT based Seaside Naturals.
Each morning our guests gather in the dining room and library for good conversation, relaxing classical music, and most important a good homestyle hot breakfast.
We serve a full breakfast each day. Chef Michael's philosophy on food is to incorporate fresh and local ingredients in everything. Each morning we start our guests off with a parfait of house made yogurt and house made granola made with local syrup and local honey. We are happy to accomodate any dietary restriction or allergies.
Follow the words on the walls to sleep, imagine and dream. Unwind after a day at the beach or shopping in nearby boutiques in the large bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and rain shower. Dream your ocean dreams in the queen sized bed covered in the ocean colors of green and blue. You’ll want to slip on one of our comfy robes enjoy a morning coffee in the cozy sunlit nook.

Room I stayed in was beautiful, breakfast delicious, host very welcoming, nice location, only complaint was that water for shower was not hot.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for your review and kind words. Very sorry to hear about he water not getting hot for you. I wish I had known we would have corrected it immediately. We have ample hot water but sometimes guests get confused with the faucets in the room you were in and turn the knob too far! Thank you again for staying and we hope to see you again soon.4.8 out of 5Scranton Seahorse is a Gem

My husband and I have stayed here many times in many of the rooms. This inn has a special place in our hearts. The Inn is clean, with interesting decor, special touches all around and special on holidays with decorations. Michael and Olive are warm, welcoming and just the best of the best! Breakfast is gourmet with Michael's cooking. I love this special Inn. It is within walking distance of town and restaurants, a 10 minute walk to the beach and when the weather is warm , there are bikes for guests to use.

My fiance and I stayed at the Inn's Madison Room. We thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace every night before bed and the jet tub in the room. The food was amazing and everyone was very accommodating. We will be going back very soon!

Although our stay at the Scranton Seahorse Inn was only two nights, it somehow felt longer. This partly is because Michael Hafford’s effortless hospitality makes you feel at home. Also, because the experience is so positive, you quickly realize how pleasant it would be to stay longer. My wife and I were impressed by the fact that each morning at breakfast (wonderful!), there was a different guest who was living at the Inn on a long-term arrangement. This suggests to us that the excellence we experienced was not a lucky or short-term occurence.
5 out of 5Loved It!
August 21, 2012
My husband, myself, and our two well behaved terriers had a wonderful time at the Seahorse. Michael is an excellent host, chef, and all around nice guy. We have already booked our next stay and can't wait to enjoy the outstanding breakfasts, wonderful inn atmosphere, and charming location again. K.C.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you Thank you. We really loved having you and the dogs (is there such a thing as a poorly behaved terrier!?). And we really appreciated you sharing the basket of vegetables from your gardens. It was great fun cooking with them. See you next year!!4.6 out of 5Great value on the shoreline

Had a wonderful 2 day stay for a family wedding. Great location, clean and comfortable room. The breakfast was gourmet and we looked forward to having the homemade cookies every afternoon with our coffee. We will return!

April 17, 2012
Our first visit was on April 14, 2012 we will definitely be back! The inn was beautiful and centrally located so we could walk to dinner. After dinner we enjoyed a nice bottle of wine on the side porch while watching the cars and people pass by. The breakfast was extraordinarily tasty and the guests all very friendly. Although we did not meet Bill and Olive, Michael was a delight. We really cannot wait to go back. Natalia & Aimee
