Mary and Jim,
Nancy and I enjoyed our stay at the Captain Stannard very much. There were countless touches that made for a warm and pleasant visit. We certainly understand that government recommendations dealing with the current pandemic curtail many things that would be customary for you but we felt safe and not concerned.

After flying 14 hours from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and driving 5 hours from JFK airport in pouring rain this place was a haven. The attention to detail, soft fluffy towels for my bath, natural soaps, Perrier Water, lots of white linen was all so soothing. I slept like a baby…. I have been in the States 6 times in the last 2 months…and this ideal place has been the best B&B for hospitality and charm.
