A co-worker and I (both college students) were in the area for a college fair at Bowdoin College in nearby Brunswick, ME and needed a place to stay for one night. We weren't looking for luxury, but rather value, and Black Lantern had the best price when we were searching for a room. How lucky we were to have stumbled... more

We stayed for two nights. The kids stayed in one room and my wife and I stayed in another for a special rate for the two rooms. The rooms were tastefully decorated in a traditional old New England style. The beds were comfortable and the innkeepers were friendly. The breakfasts were great each morning. I slept great both nights. The... more

We loved this B & B, the owners were very friendly and the B & B was like a home from home. It was very cosy and I think i could have curled up in the bed and listened to the wind outside forever!! LOVELY and comfortable, great breakfast and spotlessly clean. more

This inn is a gem! We stayed at four inns on our recent trip to Maine and New Hampshire, and this one was by far the best, though not the most expensive! Tom and Judy are great hosts, and they have created a really special inn on the banks of the river. The view of the river from our room... more

Thanks to Tom and Judy for making our first day on vacation very special. We arrived very late due to a delayed flight and they made it no problem for us and our friends. The inn is a little out of the way but that is a good thing. Right on a river I cannot pronounce. Plus they have to... more

My parents stayed here several times while visiting me at Bowdoin College. The bed and breakfast is across the river from the college, but still very convenient. I stayed here for one night and really enjoyed it. The room was tastefully decorated. The owners are extremely friendly and seem to really enjoy what they do. They serve a cooked breakfast... more

We recently visited Maine with friends from Europe and enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Black Lantern. The rooms were recently re-done and were very charming. The location riverside was quite scenic. And the breakfast was delicious. But it was the hosts who made our stay especially memorable. They are two exceptionally friendly and helpful hosts who take great care... more

We stayed at the Black Lantern July 2-4, 2005. The inn is located in a small town of Topsham, near Bath and Brunswick. The inn is in the National Register of Historic Homes. There are three guest rooms. One has a king-size bed and a recliner, as well as a private bathroom with shower. Another room has a queen-size bed... more
