Had a wonderful stay here. The room we had was just delightful. Dave & Ed could not have been more friendly & helpful from suggestions re restaurants to sightseeing advice. I don't think anything else is gong to top this n out tour of the USA. More

The Topside Inn is a perfect place. A beautiful house with a porch, rocking chairs and comfortable common areas, stunning sea views and tasty breakfasts. We had a cosy room on the top floor with a window seat and an even better view over the bay. This is our favourite coastal inn in the US. More

The Topside Inn is a great spot to stay in BoothBay. The owners are super friendly and they make an awesome breakfast. The Inn is cozy, super clean, but basic - in a good way. You really get to escape when you stay here - so serene and relaxing. Also, the Inn offers some nice views of the harbor and... More

Coffee and snacks were always available for you to enjoy. Rates were reasonable and Brian and Ed were wonderful and heplful hosts. The downhill walk to town... More

The topside inn was perfect for our stay in Boothbay. The location atop a hill with a view from the comfortable porch was a relaxing break from some busy days. Brian was especially helpful with restaurant and activity information. We especially enjoyed walking the Procter Preserve on his recommendation. Do not miss the Maine Botanical gardens not far away. Ed... More

I discovered TOPSIDE INN B&B on the internet and reserved our October weekend stay in late May. A very detailed, organized email confirmation was immediately received along with details on arriving and check-in. Friday and Saturday rates were $195/nightly; Sunday rate was $175 excluding taxes. TOPSIDE INN B&B is at the perfect location at the top of the hill for... More

My parents had stayed at the Topside for decades and felt Ed and Brian's place was their "home away from home". When they both passed away recently we agreed to fulfill their request that their ashes be dispersed in the waters outside of Booth Bay. Ed and Brian found a very nice boat captain to take us out. We had... More

What a lovely place to stay! Rooms were clean, tidy and well decorated. We received a warm welcome and help getting the cases to the rooms. Views from the rooms over the harbour were beautiful. Brian gave us his recommendations of places to eat in the town - we braved the evening chill to sit out on an upper deck!... More
