Cpt Josiah Cowles Place-Historic &beautiful
This is a beautiful old home (c 1730), that is now used as an Inn-B&B establishment. It is very beautiful, clean and the owners provided a great breakfast and great hospitality ....which included the owners hand made Maple syrup made from the owners' Sugar Maples on the property. It was quite an experience, a real treat to be vacationing for a night in a home/Inn that was built before the Revolutionary War was even thought of and on the National Registry of Historic Homes/Buildings......It still had a lot of the old historic charm, but there also modern ammenities. We would go back again. Thanks to Mary and Dave!

The perfect fall weekend!
What a lovely place! An old historic house yet so well kept. Clean, warm, cozy, it just invites you in to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of fall foliage all around. The room was big, spacious and very clean. The bed and sheets were definitely not what you usually find - so soft and comfortable, we had the best sleep!! Big screen TV with hundreds of cable channels. The bathroom was very clean and pretty. We were touched by Mary and David's warmth, kindness and hospitality. Breakfast was wonderful, with fresh fruit, juices, delicious farm eggs, light fluffy pancakes and homemade syrup! We even brought home a jar, so yummy! The location was exactly what we wanted - a small charming CT town yet very conveniently located. Drugstores, markets and great dining options are within walking distance. We chose to drive to dinner because it was cold at night, only a 5 min drive. All in all it really was a perfect fall weekend in CT, it felt like we were staying with old friends. Wonderful, I highly recommend this place!

Feel at home while travelling for business
I have been working in CT periodically and typically stay at a Best Western or similar. I spotted Captain Josiah's on Expedia and could not have been happier with the difference! The room was very comfortable, private, and peaceful. Breakfasts - pancakes (with their own homemade syrup), omelet, quiche, and fruit - were delicious, and hanging out with Mary and Dave was lovely. Mary went out of her way to ensure that I got to sample some other local treats, which was much appreciated. After being in a car all day for work, I was very pleased to find that within walking distance, the village of Plantsville had plenty of restaurant offerings to satisfying even me (a vegetarian) for three nights.

Different, but better.
This was a great little bed and breakfast, not your typical stay. After booking, I got a call from the owners just to introduce themselves, and when I got there, my name was on the door of the suite. Yes, a suite, not just a room, and one of the most beautiful and comfortable suites I've stayed in. Fantastic for the price, quality personal service.

This was our third stay with Mary and Dave Potter at their B&B. They are truly the most hospitable hosts we have ever come across. Dave met us at the car, offered to help with our bags, and introduced us to the other couple staying at the B&B. The next morning, Mary welcomed us as if we were long lost friends and enjoyed a cup of coffee with us while we had our breakfast. She remembered minute details from conversations we had had together during our previous stays, and inquired about family members who had poor health this past year. We HIGHLY recommend that others plan to visit Mary and Dave, even if it is merely to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. During our getaways we've gone canoeing, visited the local amusement park, toured a winery, and quite simply enjoyed ourselves.

Fantastic, Quaint Spot
It was a really quick visit , but the small B&B just off the highway in Plantsville was a spectacular night's sleep. Mary and her husband were so hospitable and the PANCAKES or breakfast were among the best I've ever tasted. Will be here again!

Wonderful hosts
We had a great time and the hosts were the loveliest, most generous people you could wish to meet. We immediately felt welcome and were sorry to leave. The building itself is full of character, the breakfast was excellent, the room was spacious and spotless, and the bed was as comfy as you'll find anywhere. We loved our stay there and would definitely go back.

Wonderful night
We were on our way home from Maine and traveling with two dogs. We were warmly welcomed as were the dogs and they had a fenced yard where the dogs could run and play. Great pancake breakfast with homemade maple syrup and the dogs were invited down for the meal. The room was large and nicely furnished.

Like a member of the family!
After spending 3 nights at Captain Josiah Cowles Place, I have, without hesitation, recommended this B&B to a number of friends and family members already. Our hosts treated us as if we were well-loved members of their family. From tasty desserts left out with notes for us, to allowing us to help ourselves to snacks, an assortment of cold drinks, and tea/coffee...it was unlike any other B&B I have been to. Each abundant breakfast was served with a side of lively conversation that left us with our tummies full and ready for the day's adventures! I HIGHLY recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a home away from home.

Nice historical building
The B and B is a quaint building from the late 1700s. The owner and his wife were a real pleasure. They helped with dinner reservations and were attentive to our needs. I would certainly stay there for my next visit. Make sure to try the maple syrup produced on site.

Quaint and cozy B and B
We arrived later in the evening but Mary and Dave were still up to great us, offer us some cake and show us to our adorable room where we had total privacy and one of the best nights sleep ever. They asked us when we wanted our breakfast and the next day offered up a delicious meal including their very own maple syrup. We left feeling very rested and full on a delicious meal. I would highly recommend this B and B, especially to couples.
