The Candleshop Inn in York Beach is a lovely, Victorian home turned B&B run by a very friendly and helpful couple. The rooms and property are beautifully maintained and the atmosphere very cozy and warm. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful both mornings I was there. You have the option to engage with the owners and other guests during your... More

Candleshop Inn is just right. The rooms are cozy and the location is very quiet but a short walk to the beach and restaurants/shops. Most rooms share a bathroom, but they are kept immaculately clean. The owners are friendly without being overbearing (a worry I have with some B&Bs). A nice breakfast is included ('vegetarian' but may include a fish... More

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Candleshop Inn this summer. The host was very welcoming and the breakfast was GREAT. The location is close to the beach and local gift shops. My daughters loved staying in "The Mirror Room" and the beds were comfortable. The property is very clean and well maintained. We will definitely be... More

I took my mom here for a quiet and restful long weekend - and this really was the perfect home away from home. I'm not a big b&b person, but this was a truly pleasant experience! Barbara and her staff go over an above to provide comfort and love to their guests in a charming and traditional home, complete with... More

When visiting York, Maine with its quaint little shops surrounding the beach area you will find tucked into a street, within walking distance, a wonderful B&B run by a holistic nurse, Barbara. The accomodations are as quaint and homey as the area itself. You will be welcomed with the most comfortable rocking chairs set out on the front porch to... More

My daugher, husband and I have stayed at the Candleshop Inn B&B many times over the past few summers. We love Barbara and the inn very much. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and relaxing. The inn is very close to Short Sands Beach and a short walk to downtown York and all the little shops and places to eat. I... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at this beautifully refurbished and well kept B&B. Barbara and her staff are warm and inviting and attended to our every need. Our room had an ocean view and was very comfortable and quiet even though we were just a short walk from the beach and town center. Breakfast each morning was just... More

Let me start off by saying that this was our first experience staying at a B&B so I will be comparing it to a hotel stay. The house is an old victorian but well maintained and clean. We booked a room on the 2nd floor facing east. You can see the water from in between the houses in front of... More

This was not my first time to York Beach, but this stay made it feel that way. Barbara's gorgeous B+B transported my boyfriend and I to peace and tranquility that you just won't get in the busy downtown area. Even though her property is literally a quick ten minute walk to the beach or center of town, you feel as... More
