Captain Grant's 1754

We visited back in January of 2019 and we’re still raving about this B&B! ☺ufe0f Everything was quaint from the decor to the free baked goods. We enjoyed a bountiful breakfast with the owners, who were very open about their business. We can’t wait to return!! ud83eudd70 ~A secret CT treasure~

Cannot say enough great things about my stay. Felt like home and dog friendly. Breakfast was the best I ever had! Winery 3 minutes away. Game room has pool table, tv, & board games. Everyone was so friendly too.

Where do I start? Carol & Ted were amazing hosts and their B&B Captain Grants and the Avery BnB we’re incredibly charming. Breakfast was great every single day.nnWe didn’t experience any paranormal activities there during our 3-night stay (we stayed in the Margaret room) but we heard from other guests that they had.nnI actually booked the BnB without realizing it’s haunted history. That was a pleasant surprise for me— my husband- not so much. He arrived nervous and left wanting to stay in the most haunted room (Adelaide room).nnIf you’re into ghosts— stay here. If you’re not— still, stay here. We had a blast!nnPS- Read Carol’s book before arriving! I wish I would have! “The Ghosts at Captain Grants”

Pros:nBeautiful home, friendly hosts, delicious breakfast, generous amenitiesnnCons:nInconsistent adherence to best practices related to COVID-19 (hosts didn't always wear masks while moving around the common areas, hosts welcomed guests for a semi-private poker game and few wore masks, even as they moved through common areas, hosts displayed obvious reluctance to allow guests to eat breakfast outside on the deck when requested BUT hosts also ensured that there was social distance between parties in the dining room, host wore mask for the initial tour of the house...)nnSummary: We would absolutely visit again, and will likely recommend it, but not until there is a COVID vaccine.

Haunted by MOLD.nWe booked two nights in the Margaret room and the pungent smell of mildew and mold gave both my partner and I a headache within 5 minutes of being in the room.nThe entire room smelled terrible. We asked to be moved to another room and were allowed to stay in the Elizabeth room in the main house. That room was decent. But after experiencing the dingy and mold atmosphere in the first room we were throughly skeeved out and found everything else to be just really gross. The game room table cloth was stained and nasty, every surface had crumbs on it. Every dish at breakfast was stained and the bacon of all things, the bacon was awful. Never in my life have I had bad bacon. Carol allowed us to stay in the Elizabeth room for the first night of our reservation and outright refused to refund us for the second night because the only one available was the Margaret room which made us physically ill. She said we could see if there was a cancelation and did end up calling us but not until 5pm on what was supposed to be the second night of our stay to tell us there wasn't cancelation. I've reached out several times and the only ghosts we found was Carol ghosting us in communication and not refunding our money. We thankfully found a gorgeous place nearby and stayed there in clean and cozy conditions. Captain Grant's was truly disappointing and disgusting. Do not waste your money.
