I've stayed at a lot of small inns and B & B's in my life, and the Scranton Seahorse Inn is one of the very best, clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and welcoming. Michael, the host, made me feel right at home and did everything possible to make my stay enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious. The inn is conveniently located within walking distance of a couple of very good restaurants and within a very short drive of the beaches and other local attractions, perfect for either a short getaway or a longer vacation.

The place was lovely - just right for a weekend getaway. It was easy to get in at night and the room was a good size. Bed was super comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows! Breakfast was plentiful and owner is very friendly. Easy to walk into town to all shops and restaurants and close to the beach - great location. All in all - highly recommend.

Bed comfy/Breakfast very good

This is an old house redone into a bed/breakfast. The bed was comfortable for a quick night stay, and the breakfast was very good that the host made himself. Was not wearing very clean attire when we met, but I feel that was just fine because he was a real down to earth person and very hospitable.

The host/owner Michael is a wonderful host. Other reviewers have complimented the breakfast he prepares...they did not exaggerate. The breakfasts are healthy, delicious, innovative, fresh...outstanding. Our room, #8, is large, clean, has its own private entrance, and a great new shower. This B&B is located in downtown Madison in a walkable area. The house is a large, charming building constructed in 1833. Excellent accomodations.
