This has surely got to be one of the best places to stay on the Maine Coast. The decor is from eariler times, perhaps the 30s, 40s or 50s. It is as if time stood still, yet all in great condition. My wife and I stayed in one of the cottages which had everything you needed. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and everything was clean and fresh. Great natural light and ambiance. The hotel is about 150 yards from one of the historic Maine lighthouses—Pemaquid Light which is on one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world—which by the way is very accessible to watch the incoming waves crash against the shore. I am a photographer and this is a great place to photograph!—Sunrise through Sunset. The staff of the hotel is very friendly and recomends great places to visit in the area—which are many. Eating in this part of Maine is a real treat, and just down from the hotel is the Sea Gull Cafe where you can get the best blueberry pancakes in the world, lobster rolls, chowda and a vast selection of great eats. Quiet, good for couples or a solo. Relaxing and invigorating atmosphere.

Just down the road from the hotel is a lovely gift shop/restaurant, the "Seagull." It literally overlooks the cliffs, with ocean waves crashing against the cliffs--and sea birds everywhere. it is dramatic and composing at once, and we think it is a great place to visit!

we stay at the bungalow 4 nights housekeeping was poor did not remove trash from the room and trowels smelled musty bathroom was not cleaned very well bed was uncomfortable (to hard) staff was not very friendly when we checked in we ask a question and was told repeatedly that its a small town tryed to get information for the next day but she was lost in repeating herself chair in room when sat in sank to floor old junk in room (a 1940s phonegraph taking up too much space in a small room)no wifi Too top it off owners dog ran toward and disturb my gf service dog (seeing eye dog ) on 2 occasions barking and grawling also they did a repair of cement at the bottom of the stairs to the room where a blind person was staying (not very smart )also was getting coffee in a sun room and a guest was told to keep his voice down as he was talking in a normal voice i have had some great conversation at morning coffee so why have it there where you cant talk. on the plus the location to the lighthouse is perfert and the grounds looked nice

The Hotel Pemaquid was a delightful place to stay. We thought we had stepped back into the 1930s when we walked into the office. The place is filled with neat antiques. The main living room has a majestic fireplace and awesome furnishings. There is the main building and several outbuildings. We stayed in one of the Burnside rooms - great space, comfortable, with a small balcony out front. The also have bungalows available. The place was hopping when we stayed, with plenty of couples and families staying there. They had bikes available to use (although we had our own). Excellent value - one of the least expensive places we stayed on our entire trip up the Maine coast but one of the best! They don't take credit cards so bring cash or a check.

It is literally 1/10 mile from Pemaquid lighthouse, an easy stroll to the ocean. The lighthouse is a fantastic place to visit. We spent a few hours in the afternoon going through the museum and art gallery, and hanging out on the rocks.
