We stayed one night while seeing a play in nearby Waterbury. What a pleasant place! Snow was expected and Mary called us the day before we were to arrive to offer to let us arrive early so we would be safe. How nice to think someone cares that much! The place was very nice and I slept so well. They made two kinds of coffee for us, though we didn't ask for it (I like mine stronger than my husband) and made fresh blueberry pancakes. We lingered over breakfast, enjoying Mary and Dave's company. I couldn't recommend this place more highly!
This is a very fine place, and an ancient one that the owners, Mary and Dave, have maintained, upgraded, and decorated wonderfully. Everything they have done with the place is true to the style of the original building, which dates from the 18th century. I stayed here in the summer of 2012 for two days prior to a conference, and it was cool (in the room) and comfortable and quiet. Dave is the designated maker-of-pancakes served with excellent and genuine maple syrup drawn from the six huge sugar maple trees on the lot. This is a place that feels like home.
My husband and I stayed at Capt. Josiah Cowles Place for one night. What a wonderful experience. Dave and Mary are excellent hosts; the house is old, incredibly well kept and very clean and so comfortable. Dave's pancakes with syrup from his trees is a breakfast treat. Thanks Dave and Mary, A+.
The atmosphere. The food. The comfort. Best part...time with Mary and Dave. We are very fortunate also that they are our friends. My husband, Bill and I advise you to give the place a try. You will really enjoy your stay.
We had friends visiting from out of state. The couple that run the place allowed us to join our friends for breakfast. The meal and conversation was great. They even had maple syrup from the tree from the back yard. I highly recommend this b&b to anyone staying in the Southington area.
My friend and I stayed here for 3 weeks and Mary and Dave were the friendliest people i have ever dealt with the rooms were perfect the bathrooms were clean and the breakfast was amazing if you need a place to stay in CT you simply must stay at captain josiah cowles
The mattress was so worn out, it was like sleeping in a hammock, the bathroom throw rug had a disgusting brown stain on it, the owner Mary said she would refund me $15 because I was not needing the morning breakfast - but she never did, and I didn’t appreciate her critical / nosey comments on the seafood dinner which I bought elsewhere and ate in their kitchen area, saying she doesn’t like food like that.
E outdid himself with the streak grinder and chorizo pizza I had with a coworker. The bottom of the pizza was crispy and not greasy or soft at all⦠but also not burnt. So much flavor! The steak grinder was also just as good as the pizza. Genero
My family and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner to celebrate my birthday! Everything was delicious and Dave, our server, was excellent! He was attentive, personable and efficient! We ordered appetizers, drinks and full course meals! All so yummy! We
