Stayed here, with my wife, for a wonderful vacation during the summer of 2012. From the second we checked in to the second we had to leave (sadly!) it was a wonderful experience. The rooms were comfortable and very enjoyable, the pool was peaceful and beautiful and the access to the town was very easy. We enjoyed walking from the... More

My husband and I stayed only one night here as we were on our way to another destination. The Old Fort Inn is beautiful, well kept, very clean, provided outstanding friendly service. I was totally enthralled with the heated tile floor in the bathroom as we were there in December and it was very cold outside! We were served a... More

We made a last minute decision to escape to Maine , and there was no vacancy at our best ever B&B , we chose a stay at Old Forte. Its a bit hard to find even with a GPS who tells you have arrived and a bit removed from a walk to Dock Square. Rooms were clean and neat. A... More

What an idyllic seaside Inn! The Old Fort Inn is a little bit removed from direct sea views and the Village of Kennebunkport, however they have all the charm you could ever want!! My friends and I stayed for 3 days and had a fabulous time. The Inn provides a scrumptious breakfast included in the room rate in a bright... More

The Old Fort Inn was very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was a very filling continental type with many choices. The bed was very comfortable and I will be looking for the wonderful pillows for my own bed at home. We would definitely stay again when in the area. Do try to get there for check-in during daylight hours, as... More

We stayed at the Inn at the start of our recent New England trip. The Inn itself is beautifully appointed. We stayed in the carriage house annexe and the rooms were stunning. No detail had been missed, with everything and anything available. Breakfast was adequate, but I wouldn't say stunning. There is a selection of cereal and items for toasting.... More

For all of the many years I have visited Kennebunkport, Maine, I was never aware of this hotel. It is a small hotel/bed & breakfast, very close to downtown and the ocean and very convenient to shops and restaurants. However, its location is tucked away in the trees so you feel you are hidden away in a forest. A charming... More
