After 3 nights in New York City & 2 nights in Cape Cod, Belfast Bay Inn was the true highlight of our trip. Room 303, overlooking the main street, was beautifully appointed & a luxurious home away from home. Ed & Judy were a delight & very accomodating. One day we had breakfast in the courtyard & the next day was in our room. It was decadent. We would definitely go back. In fact, I can't wait. It is worth every penny. The town is a treasure with it's own art deco theatre. On a Saturday night, we were two of four people watching "The Help". Belfast Bay Inn was not only good for the soul, but good for the heart.

My wife and I had a getaway at the Belfast Bay Inn for Columbus Day weekend. I travel frequently around the world for business, and have stayed in countless hotels. Every once in a while, you encounter a hotel where everything is done just right. The Belfast Bay Inn is one of those rare gems that I will think of fondly the next time I am stuck in another shoebox business hotel room.

Ed and Judy spared no expense in outfitting the Inn, and spare no effort in insuring that the experience will be calm, relaxing and very sophisticated. Our room was stunning, both in the understated quality and elegance of the furnishings, and in the absolute peace and quiet.

There are many examples of this approach. The most dramatic is the Bose Wave radio in each room instead of the usual barely usable, tinny sounding ugly $5.00 clock radio one normally finds. For someone who is musically oriented, it is a wonderful contrast to walk into your room and be greeted by the rich sound of good music played well and the capability That set the tone for the entire visit.

Breakfast was just right. A freshly made quiche, delicious fruit salads and excellent coffee. The weather was so nice that we were able to enjoy our breakfasts on the secluded rear terrace.

Ed and Judy's years in the hospitality industry show in a level of sophisticated, understated service that one rarely sees nowadays. Even jaded travellers such as myself will find the Belfast Bay Inn a refreshing oasis. We can't wait to go back!!

My wife and young daughter stayed here for 5 nights very recently and I can confirm that all the excellent reviews are true and accurate.

We were on holiday from the UK visiting Boston and the Maine coastline.

We stayed in room 103 which was on the ground floor.

My daughter had a large bed to herself and we had the other one.

All the furnishings were top quality and very tasteful.

The bedroom/living area had a large flat screen TV, fridge for drinks, coffee maker, Bose CD player, fire, air con, and small sink.

There was also a safe, iron/ironing board and umbrella in the closet.

The bathroom was very elegant with quality toiletries.

Judy and Ed the owners delivered breakfast each morning which was cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit, and either eggs/bacon or fritata containing vegetables, coffee and orange juice.

I can eat for England but I never left the room hungry.

Judy and Ed leave you alone but are available if you need anything.

They are friendly, courteous and polite.

We loved Boston and Maine and would have no hesitation in returning in a few years.

We would certainly stay in the Inn again.

10/10.

Ed and Judy provide the perfect get-away retreat. You can travel from this location to Bar Harbor, Camden and explore the town of Belfast which is such a feast for the senses. Breakfast delivered to our room every morning. For a B&B owner, that was a treat! We own a B&B in southern Maine and this was a three-day escape to explore our beautiful state. We will definitely return and will always stay with Ed and Judy. The suite was divine, impeccably clean and well appointed...you do not need to bring a thing...they have it all.
