Captain Josiah Cowles Place

My husband and I stayed at the Capt Josiah Cowles Place during Yale graduation weekend. It's half an hour away from campus, but the peace and quiet feels much more distant from the rat race of New Haven during an event weekend. The room was huge and the bed was unbelievable comfortable thanks to the mattress topper. There are two guest rooms, each with a private bath. We never heard the other guests. The hosts were friendly and helpful without being intrusive and the breakfasts and afternoon snacks provided were outstanding. We would definitely stay again.

We spent two nights with Mary and David at the end of December and our stay was amazing! The house is beautiful, the rooms are so spacious, comfortable, clean and well appointed, and the breakfasts were fantastic! Mary and David are such warm and lovely hosts, we really felt like we were home, and after five weeks on the road this was very welcome! The proximity to Mt Southington ski area is perfect too. We highly recommend staying with Mary and David, and if we return to the area one day we will definitely be enquiring if they have availability!

Mary and Dave were a delight in this little BnB in central Connecticut. The accommodations were just right, comfortable and clean. The morning hot breakfast was tasty, pancakes served with homemade maple syrup from the maples in the yard. I'd recommend this place to any couple passing through, or a business traveler looking for a comfortable and friendly place to stop in.

Have to share our time here 3 nights stay was amazing and helpful. Long flight ( flying to CT directly from Los Angeles) , having to give time to continue to work, and incorporate family visits...all avenues were meet 100 percent. Time difference and Jet lag Captain Josiah Cowles Inn was able to rest deeply, and peacefully. Rooms, bedding everything is fresh and clean. Having private (updated ) bathrooms was a great relief too. Internet connection and room set up allowed for continued work . Being a short stay, just the simple fact that Captain Josiah Cowles Inn is an attraction itself. Original ceiling beams , floors and doors, and it is all natural. Gave us the feeling we were site seeing Old Historical New England past times but without making added trip. Breakfast, pies, chocolate cake, the Innkeepers its amazing. Telling everyone we know in L.A. to make their way at this INN. Thank YOU ...and we will be back again.

Food, rooms and hospitality were great. We had a wonderful time.

When my fiance and I booked a stay here we were just hoping for a clean and comfortable room near to the location of his upcoming triathlon race. The hospitality, genuine warm-hearted company and delicious breakfast were above and beyond what we expected. The accommodations themselves were plenty roomy and the bed was so comfortable we purchased the same foam topper for our mattress at home! Highly recommended on all accounts!

Southington Ct..Who knew.. Our stay was absolutely wonderful, We were in town from upstate N.Y.for my neices Sweet 16 and I lived in Ct for 20years and never stayed at Captain Josiah Cowles. Our stay was Clean, Quiet & Unobtrusive, Our hosts breakfast goes unmatched, They make their own maple syrup, Unbelievable over PaPa's pancakes..LOL. The muffins were to die for, We even got a couple for the road..!.I recommend anyone to stay here, and we will definetely be back. Thank You Chef Rich
