This hilltop Bed and Breakfast was clean and inviting. New owners have updated the entire Inn. Full breakfast was served and was delicious! There were many places to sit and enjoy the views. Coffee and snacks were always available for you to enjoy. Rates were reasonable and Brian and Ed were wonderful and heplful hosts. The downhill walk to town... More

The topside inn was perfect for our stay in Boothbay. The location atop a hill with a view from the comfortable porch was a relaxing break from some busy days. Brian was especially helpful with restaurant and activity information. We especially enjoyed walking the Procter Preserve on his recommendation. Do not miss the Maine Botanical gardens not far away. Ed... More

I discovered TOPSIDE INN B&B on the internet and reserved our October weekend stay in late May. A very detailed, organized email confirmation was immediately received along with details on arriving and check-in. Friday and Saturday rates were $195/nightly; Sunday rate was $175 excluding taxes. TOPSIDE INN B&B is at the perfect location at the top of the hill for... More

My parents had stayed at the Topside for decades and felt Ed and Brian's place was their "home away from home". When they both passed away recently we agreed to fulfill their request that their ashes be dispersed in the waters outside of Booth Bay. Ed and Brian found a very nice boat captain to take us out. We had... More

What a lovely place to stay! Rooms were clean, tidy and well decorated. We received a warm welcome and help getting the cases to the rooms. Views from the rooms over the harbour were beautiful. Brian gave us his recommendations of places to eat in the town - we braved the evening chill to sit out on an upper deck!... More

We visited Topside Inn in September and loved everything about it. The location is beautiful and the personal service provided by Ed and Brian was superior. Breakfast is a special treat. Bring a book and sit in the chairs overlooking the Bay! More

What a great B&B! The charming house sits at the top of a hill overlooking the harbor, just a short walk downhill to shops and restaurants. The rooms are well-appointed, and the main house is cozy and comfortable. Ed and Brian are gracious hosts and serve a delicious hot breakfast, complete with fresh fruit, homemade granola, and cinnamon scones. We... More

We have been staying at Topside Inn for years-sometimes twice a year and each time we arrive we feel like we are 'coming home'. Brian and Ed are wonderful inn-keepers and wonderful people and Topside is a beautiful inn with an incredible view. The inn is immaculate and beautifully decorated and, as you have read in other reviews, the breakfasts... More

Brian and Ed have created rooms that are restful, homey, and spotless. They have thought of everything you could possibly need and have made it available. Corkscrews and wineglasses, hot water for assorted teas, cocoa, and coffee during the day, and a cookie jar with treats! The breakfasts are delicious! You can look out at the harbor from your room,... More

Stayed 2 nights last week at the end of our trip around New England and this was easily our favourite of all the places we stayed. The rooms are decorated in a modern style and are very modern. Breakfast was excellent and perfectly cooked and presented (specials included french toast with sausages and toasted muffins with ham and eggs). The... More
