My wife and I visited Maine for the first time and stayed in Castine for 3 days. We had the pleasure of staying in the Pentagoet Inn. It was a wonderfull place, by far the nicest place we stayed in while in Maine. The inn is very tastefully decorated and the rooms are furnished nicely. It has a classic, clean look that makes you feel like you should be paying much more than you are for such a great place. I also highly recommend the restaurant, which was 4 star. I also took several pictures of the pub, which is worth a visit by itself. To top it off, the innkeepers, Jack and Julie were warm and welcoming, and made us feel special. We will definitely come back!!

Located in the delightful small town of Castine, Maine, on the shores of the wondrous Penobscot Bay, the Pentagoet Inn is one of the most delightful Bed & Breakfast inns my wife and I have visited.
The Inn is a glimpse into the fascinating history of this part of New England, yet is beautifully appointed and equipped with all the modern conveniences we appreciate. Each room retains its distinctive character, with an abundance of antiques and period furnishings.
The Inn is operated by the owners, and service is top-notch, with all staff members going out of their way to make guests feel at home. The dining room has an excellent reputation for very good reasons.
All this comes at an excellent value. I give this establishment the highest possible recommendation!

The Pentagoet Inn was exactly what we hoped for on our first trip to Maine. Natives of a tourist state, we wanted off the beaten path to relax and explore the magnificent coast of Maine. We were travel weary when we drove into lovely Castine, but not for long. Our room with king bed was furnished with comfortable antiques and romantically decorated with well-coordinated fabrics and wonderful lace curtains. We even read to each other from the eclectic collection of books in our room. It was perfect for relaxing. Martha Stewart could not have found fault with our accommodations. Everything was perfectly spotless. Fresh coffee outside our door at 7a.m. was my favorite luxury. We did not make use of the cozy office area (where we were offered free internet access) other than to sit in the old desk chair and check out the historical pictures of the Inn. The only regret of our stay is that we checked in on a Monday when dinner is not served in the Inn--Tuesday's was fabulous. After a delicious breakfast of blueberry pancakes and bacon, yogurt, fresh fruit and juice, we took a (complimentary) bike ride around the picturesque town to see the beautiful homes, a gorgeous harbor and lighthouse. We had a good laugh about how the old bikes looked perfect for the part, but made navigating the hills challenging. Julie, the owner, assured me she is upgrading them. It figures--they were the only thing that wasn't perfect. If you only have three days and don't want a dollar or a minute wasted, choose the Pentagoet Inn in Castine, Maine. It is a treasure on the Maine coast.

Having made three forays up the entire coast of Maine, my wife and I were looking for a different kind of vacation. We were seeking a quiet venue that was not a tourist mecca or sleepy fishing village. Little did we know that we found the perfect place to stay in a most wonderful town called Castine. Castine is an idyllic town of Federalist homes on Dutch Elm lined streets that looks out over a breathtaking deepwater harbor. In the center of this perfect setting is an Inn i have always hoped to find: The Pentagoet. During our stay, we found everything to our liking. The friendly staff and well-appointed room were just what we needed. I have not been able to unwind like this in ten plus years of traveling. Our hosts went above and beyond the call in keeping us comfortable without being fussy. From excellent info for day trips to garden tours to sitting on the verandah with a good book to outstanding entrees at dinner, we were constantly surprised at all the "little" things done for guests. Jack and Julie will be seeing us again.
