We booked a quick two-day stay, in late October. The weather forecast was some light snow flurries. The first night, the forecast changed and we were looking at "flurries" about 1 - 2 feet deep (we actually had two feet in southern New England the next day). So, not wanting to get stuck in a major snow storm when we did not yet have our snow tires on, we canceled our second night. The staff understood and -- amazing as it may seem -- we only had to pay for the one night stay. Not even a cancellation fee. You don't find people like this very often. They understood the problem and helped us out.

So, we had a wonderful evening in a warm and cozy room in a lovely town and a lovely hotel, with a good breakfast the next morning. . . and we found out just how nice the people at Captain Lord Mansion can be. We would have loved to stay longer. I guess we'll just have to go back. . . although we'll watch the weather a bit more carefully.

My husband and I stayed at the Captain Lord Mansion as an overnight getaway last week. Having high expectations, it was amazing how quickly we were completely swept away. Every whim, every idea of a perfect stay and how to be catered to became a reality. From perfect rooms with comfortable beds to Coffee and Hot Chocolate at 1am, for a stressed out couple in need of R&R it was so completely perfect that we cannot wait to go back. Bravo to the Inn Keepers and Staff, they do an incredible job not only preserving the mansion, but in making it home to the guests that stay there.

My husband and I always try to out-do each other every year for our anniversary. Last year, It was my turn to surprise him, and this year, he topped the charts with a 2 night stay at CLM. It was so wonderful and relaxing. The room, which was GORGEOUS, was the Merchant suite, and the bed was high, soft, and very comfortable. 2 Fireplaces adorn the room, one in the bedroom, and one in the jacuzzi room, where a generous 2 person jacuzzi will have anyone relaxing in minutes!! The heated marble floors in the bathroom, with a massage jet dual head shower is the PERFECT wake up call to get your morning started. After reading the paper that was slid discreetly under our door, it was time for breakfast. Each morning begins with a healthy multigrain cereal, and organic, fat free yogurt, and fresh fruit. Our entree one morning was mini belgian waffles, and the next it was the mansion stacker, consisting of a seasoned potato pancake, with smoked ham, and scrambled eggs, and a white cheddar cheese sauce. DELICIOUS!!

I invite anyone, and everyone to come and throw your troubles away at CLM. You won't regret it! The Staff pay particular attention to all of their guests, and it shows in the way the rooms are attended to. :-) We'll be back for sure!

2011 was the first trip to the CLM for my husband and I but it won't be the last. We enjoyed the warm hospitality and friendliness of the staff. Attention to detail was very apparent in our room from the extremely comfy sheets to the gas fireplace and exquisite bathroom. The breakfasts served at the CLM are exceptional. What a warm feeling to wake each morning to the smell of breakfast cooking downstairs. Not familiar with the area, my husband and I asked numerous questions of the staff on where to go, what to do and they were always happy to help us plan our activities. Our stay at the CLM was relaxing and enjoyable -- a REAL vacation. We will definitely be back!
