A little "peace of heaven" that I am reluctant to share... That being said, Bufflehead is a quiet, peaceful inn that is run by a genuinely friendly and helpful staff. Hats off to Harriet and Erin for their attention to every detail and always making me feel at home at Bufflehead. The warm vibe felt throughout the property, the creative... More

We were priveleged to spend three nights at this lovely B and B. It is on a river with lots of wild birds, and you can eat breakfast right by the water. Our host and her son were very welcoming, and had recommendations for meals and sights. Antiquing is nearby, and you will want to spend some down time just... More

Bufflehead was a wonderfully relaxing vacation. It is just minutes from shops and restaurants and the innkeepers can recommend some excellent choices - try Pier 77 and Pedro's! Erin is particularly helpful for all things Kennebunkport. The breakfast was delicious and the room was lovely. We had the Garden room which did not have a view but the room was... More

My new husband and I stayed at Bufflehead Cove this November for our "mini-moon" the weekend after we got married. We absolutely LOVED everything about our stay! The hospitality was top notch, and you can't beat the quiet, peaceful location. We also loved the cleanliness, charm, and comfort of our room (the Cove room). There were so many extra little... More

This inn is so charming! It has lovely rooms. We stayed in one with a jacuzzi tub and fireplace, which was lovely! The breakfasts were top rate. Very tasty! The staff is friendly and very helpful. The location is great, as it is just outside of the main downtown so it feels secluded but yet you have access to all... More

During our 3 week New England trip, we stayed 3 nights at Bufflehead Cove Inn. The Balcony Room was a perfect choice: spacious, quiet, wonderful river view from the balcony. The balcony is like a separate living room: depending on temperature, one could open or close the window. We enjoyed the afternoon snack and the wonderful cooked breakfast. One morning... More

We spent last weekend in the River Cottage for my birthday. Gerry makes an effort to surprise me every year; he takes a different route to get there or implies we are going someplace else yet he always comes through as he loves Bufflehead as much as I do! We wish it wasn't "on the map" as we can no... More

We have stayed in B&Bs all over the country and this was at the top of the list! Jim, Harriet, Erin and all the staff made this an absolutely unforgettably fantastic experience. The ambiance, the scrumptious breakfasts, the refreshments, the thoughtfulness of management and the recommendations for activities and dining were superb. We had originally planned 2 nights there and... More

I randomly discovered Bufflehead Cove through a google search and I'm amazed at how perfect it turned out to be. The room was cozy and comfortable, the entire inn was beautifully decorated, and the service was impeccable. First bonus- the location. You feel like you are completely off the beaten path- the inn is located down this long forested drive... More

We had the pleasure of spending a couple of nights at the Bufflehead Cove Inn recently and, as always, it was lovely. The inn itself is warm and welcoming, as are the hosts. The rooms are perfectly decorated and the beds are extremely comfortable. Breakfasts are always delicious. We will certainly visit again.
