Great location!
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful inn. Connie was very helpful and easy to reach with questions. She gave us a choice on what we wanted for breakfast and it was delicious. We felt like we had gone back in time and could see that it was well maintained. It's just 2 blocks to LL Bean, so we could walk to it and many other stores and restaurants. Great stay!

Candlebay Inn
Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was good. The only downside was the bathroom shower was extremely small. A joke was even made about not dropping the soap. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Nice stay.

Loved our stay. The bed was so comfortable and the breakfast was the best I’ve had in a long time. My husband struggled a little with the angled ceiling and lower shower rod due to his height.

This is an old house converted to a B&B type Inn. It is quaint and charming - filled with east coast decor. The rooms are very comfortable, albeit small. The beds were comfy and the the space was very clean. We stayed 2 nights. Breakfast was great and served at communal tables in the dinner room. If you have mobility or accessibility needs, I recommend you share before booking. Connie, the Innkeeper is warm, inviting and very accommodating. The location is great - very walkable to the village for shopping and restos. We would not hesitate to book again.

This is a quintessential 19th century historical B&B. It was just what we wanted for our daughter-in-law’s first visit to Maine. Our hosts were very accommodating, and our breakfast of wild Maine blueberry French toast with maple syrup was delicious.

We were shocked at the prices for hotels in Portland (in my opinion a way, overrated town) so we stayed here primarily because of price. But it's a nice gem worth considering. Room was comfortable. Breakfast nice. Host welcoming. And walking distance to the Freeport outlets and across from that now-famous McDonald's located in a historic house. Definitely eat at the Jameson Tavern (walking). One of the best burgers we've had, great fries too. (If you are tired of lobster and high prices).
