Judy and Tom are lovely people and exceptional hosts. I had only to mention one evening that we wanted to go somewhere up country the next day to see the foliage, and Tom came back later that evening with options, printouts and advice. Breakfast was excellent and they have a nice class of guest to talk with! And it is very reasonably priced.

We received a superb welcome from Tom and Judy. They are warm, friendly and very helpful people. The property is delightful and just full of wonderful personal touches. The garden is beautiful and overlooks and stretches down to the Androscoggin river. Our room was spacious, extremely comfortable and very pretty. Staying here you feel that you are staying with friends or family, with no invasion of privacy. Breakfast is served at a time of your choosing between 7 and 9 am and it was delicious. We enjoyed it around a large dining table, shared with other guests, which added to the sense of warmth and friendliness. We truly wished we were staying for more than the one night to have had more time to enjoy all that the Black Lantern has to offer but sadly we had to head to the airport to get our flight home. It would have been nice to have had the time to sit outside in the garden in the sunshine taking in the view across the river or on the porch just soaking up the relaxed atmosphere. We hope one day we might pass this way again and have the chance to stay a little longer with Tom and Judy in The Black Lantern.

We stayed in 4 different B&B in Maine and this was the best. The hosts were very friendly and were always there to help with our questions. Breakfast was fantastic and they accommodated our diet needs. A quiet setting by the river was very relaxing. We highly recommend!

This pleasant home above the river is convenient to Brunswick and Bowdoin College without being in the middle of town. The rooms are clean and pleasantly furnished . Don't look for in-room TV, it's in the common area; so holster your electronics (yes, there's wi-fi) and enjoy the front porch or out back overlooking the river.

But the real difference is the service. We needed to find a specific building at the college and within minutes of our arrival the host had a highlighted map of the campus as well as recommendations on restaurants in town.

As others have noted the breakfasts are excellent.

This was our final stop on a 8 location road trip. This was without doubt our favourite. Our room was very homely, clean and comfortable. What made exceptional was the wonderful Home cooked breakfast. There was no choice but what was served was faultless. We liked there being a Coffee machine available to make a drink any time. Hosts were very friendly and jovial. We also enjoyed sharing a table at breakfast with other guests which made it a very sociable occasion.
Lovely outdoor seating areas available.
Would love to return one day.
