“Not disappointed, only 1 negative”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012

Lovely stay. Nice touches. Excellent breakfast. Owners/staff very efficient and helpful. Location great, in residential area, short walk to small downtown area. My only negative is that our room had no end tables as the bed was in the middle of two doors--one to a small closet and the other to the bath (and the shower was very tiny). This room, although I don't recall the number, is okay for an overnight stay, but definitely not for anything longer. Most of the other guests were repeat customers, which says a lot about this place. In fact, it was referred to us by someone who was a previous guest.

The guest is correct, room #15 is our tiniest room on the property with a very small bath. This is my least expensive room and there is no room for bedside tables. We have only larger rooms and no other rooms without bedside tables and lamps. We hope these guests will return and try one of our larger upgraded rooms. So glad they enjoyed the rest of their experience here.

“We had to stay an extra day!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

We had initially booked 2 nights in room 18. Not only was the room very homey and comfortable but so was the main house. Loved the fact that home made cookies were fresh out of the oven as we were checking in. We got great advice about places to eat and things to do. The location from town is easy walking distance. The other guests at breakfast each morning were such a pleasure to talk too. We were enjoying our stay and the local area so much we decided to inquire about staying another night. We then stayed in renovated cottage #5. It was so perfect that once we came back from our day's activities, we elected to stay in for the evening and just enjoy the space. The bed couldn't be more comfortable and the fireplace was awesome. We would love to come back again!

“"Loved The Garden Room"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012

Only stayed here for 1 night- should have stayed for more! We had the Garden Room with our own decking and the weather was suitable to sit on the loungers Walt brought out for us!The bedroom was exactly as shown in the picture and very comfortable. The breakfast was great - we enjoyed sitting with the other guests and chatting with them and Judi.

“Perfect for a family getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 9, 2012

We stayed here over Columbus Day weekend, in family cottage #6, which was perfect. It’s two bedrooms plus a small living room and kitchen – it gave everyone the privacy while still allowing us to enjoy a family holiday together.

The owners are very nice and helpful. Actually, they’re much more than nice and helpful – they’re very warm and accommodating. We’ve been to Kennebunkport before so we knew our way around but they were still very helpful and provided us with a lot of good information without hovering. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, so much so that I asked for two recipes.

We left with a very contented feeling about a nice weekend together, which is really all one could ask for and more.

I would definitely recommend this B&B.

Room Tip: Family cottage #6 was perfect if you have children

“Wonderful first B&B experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012 via mobile

Our accommodations were lovely in the main building, very clean and comfortable. Breakfasts were outstanding. The innkeepers, Judi and Walt, were friendly and accommodating.
We would definitely come back and would highly recommend it to our friends. Pete and Joan
