Great location and view of the Boothbay Harbor, only a short walk into town. Our room was large, clean and very comfortable with a large shared porch and great view. The in keepers were gracious and the breakfasts were good. More

Our trip to Maine began with two nights in Boothbay Harbor, staying at the Topside Inn. The Inn's setting is magnificent - best in the entire town. It sits on top of the highest hilltop in town and has a stunning view of the harbor and bay below. It's breathtaking! The proprieters, Brian and Ed, reportedly bought the place in... More

I am sort of obsessed with hotel and restaurant selections. Now that I'm a parent, I so infrequently get to enjoy travel and dinners out that when I do, I want to ensure the best experience possible. So I'm a review addict. There, I said it. Cat's out of the bag. So when the hubby and I decided to plan... More

Great b&b, lovely rooms and great views. Breakfasts were lovely with very friendly hosts. Stay away from the italian place on the main street. Terrible food and overpriced. Went whale watching and saw nothing even though they spotted a blue whale the day before. First sighting since the 70's in the area. They give you a ticket to go again... More

Perched atop a high hill overlooking the village of Booth Bay and the bay behind the Inn, Topside Inn is perfectly located. A very short walk down the hill and you are in the village with its good restaurants and lively harbor. Breakfast was delicious and also very nutritious . The Inn is decorated in very good taste...no bunnies or... More

We had a great 2 night stay at Topside Inn over Labor Day weekend, 2011. We selected a room where we had a whole floor to ourselves (because the ceiling was low) and we felt like it was just us staying there - very peaceful and romantic. The breakfast was excellent and, when there was a hot part of the... More

The room was lovely, the view was fantasic, the food was excellent! Only complaint, the website said that the inn doesn't accomidate children under 6, but the room below us (and hence the balcony below us) had a screaming child for one of the nights. Maybe not 6, but certainly not what was honeymoon friendly. More

We recently stayed at the Topside Inn early August 2011 for a few nights. I had room 4 which had really great views of the harbor. The rooms were tastefully decorated. I really do not like old fashioned decorations i.e. flowers and lace and this was nothing like that! The decor is more of a Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware... More
