We got to try out Buddy's latest B&B in Portland, ME. It's wonderful and would highly recommend to anyone visiting this city. The decor is lovely, the B&B is spotless and the 'extras' are so nice. Breakfast is always a treat. More

We just came back from two nights at this B&B, as our home base for our weekend getaway in Portland, and couldn't have been happier with the accommodations. We chose it based on its high Trip Advisor rating and found the rating to be spot on. For us (we're hikers), the upper part of the downtown area was about a... More

We found the Inn on Carleton on Trip Advisor and are happy we did. The property is just lovely. Beautiful rooms, totally charming in design and furnishings. The service was phenomenal. And, breakfast was delicious. All in all, a perfect getaway. We look forward to a return visit. More

This inn has been carefully restored, with lovely furnishings. Very comfortable and cozy. Breakfast was disappointing -- limp, discolored orange slice and strawberries, eggs not cooked as ordered, banana bread tasting unpleasantly of artificial flavoring. Innkeeper might want to take it down a notch. Guests don't need to be addressed at high volume, or hovered over to feel welcome. We... More

We take any and all reviews to the heart so this one baffled us. I take so much pride and joy in the inn and go out of our way to make guest feel at home. As you can see from the other reviews guest leave the inn like family. We wish if any guest does not enjoy there stay... More

This inn was phenomenal. The room was hotel quality with the perk of being extremely clean and cosy. The breakfast was wonderful. They were extremely welcoming and generous. One of the best places we've stayed. More

Not only was the Inn charming and beautiful but the Inn Keepers were spectacular! Most delicious breakfast, beautifully appointed, spacious rooms. Just wonderful. Can't wait to go back in the spring when the garden is in bloom. More

The Inn On Carleton was the perfect place for me to stay. Everything was clean, beautiful and simple. The staff went out of their way to make me feel at home. Buddy was helpful, kind and available anytime I needed him. The Inn was very quiet & had the most welcoming energy. Thank You for a perfect night. More

Let me start off with a few facts about myself. I am cynical, like to critique, and rarely like to give full credit for doing what was promised. I bring this personal info up so those that are trying to decide where to stay in Portland know that I am serious when I say this is the only place you... More

We stayed here for five nights in January. The owner is most gracious and extremely helpful to us in recommeding and making reservations at outstanding restaurants. The rooms are each decorated gorgeously. No details are overlooked. The breakfasts were also something that we looked forward to each morning. We have stayed at many inns over the past 35 years but... More

This was that first time my husband and I stayed at an Inn or B&B and were a nervous having heard some people share that Inns and B&B's were not very private. The Carleton exceeded our expectations for us "first timers". The Inn was so nice and clean as well as private. We had a room at the top of... More
