We have been going to Kennebunk, Wells and Ogunquit for more than 40 years. B & B's are not our usual option however we wanted to have a quiet and charming romantic place and we found it. Not to small to lose your privacy and not to big to be impersonal. We rented the Junior suite for 410$/night - no... More

This bed and breakfast type establishment is a wonderful way to spend a weekend or a week. Ocean front, beautiful views, rocking chairs on the front porch. Complementary continental breakfast, afternoon tea and cookies, and port and wine served with cheese in the early evening. And coffee or tea at any hour of the day or night in the lobby.... More

I recently stayed in one of this Inn's best rooms. For the rate being charged, especially during low/shoulder season, you would think they would try to make the decor a bit nicer. You don't have to spend a lot to make things look presentable. The air conditioning unit smelled of mold/mildew and looked to be old and ready for refurbishment... More

We stayed here for 1 night on Level 1. The room was nice - a little small but fairly typical guest house. The balcony is great and the port and brandy offered pre tea is a nice touch. The view is good from the front of the guest house and the common areas were very pleasant. no noise issues. I... More

No complaints about the hotel or the service. We just think if we return we will stay over on the other side of Kennebunkport (Ocean Drive) it is much more convenient to shopping and restaurants. More

The view out the garden room was of the generator and the dumpster. The room itself was very nice, too bad it had a lousy view. The check in staff was EXCELLENT. A different view the stay would have been good. Nice breakfast but not exceptional. More
