We traveled to Maine for our honeymoon this past October and spent the first night here. We should have stayed the whole week. Our room (The Hideaway) was beautiful, the house was gorgeous and the hosts were wonderful. We arrived later in the evening and was recommended a wonderful place for dinner. We awoke to coffee on our porch in... More

This is a family run B & B in a most picturesque setting - a quiet spot by the river, We received a lovely welcome and our room was everything we needed including a kettle, which was provided on request. Breakfasts were superb and even the weather could not have been better. The hosts were very informative and helpful with... More

My husband and I recently booked a weekend getaway at the Bufflehead Cove Inn. Although we usually like to spoil ourselves on these short sojourns by booking into a Relais & Chateau or something similiar, I decided on this trip to book us into the lovely Bufflehead Cove Inn, mainly because The White Barn Inn (the Relais & Chateau) was...

This was our first stop on a tour through New England and we were so sad to have to leave and move on! The family that runs the inn are just spectacular! Erin was so fantastic - what a gift he has to make you feel welcome and to make sure every need is attended to. Our room was just... More

We can only echo the views of those who have enjoyed Bufflehead Cove. It looked fantatsic on the website and was even better in reality. We stayed 1 night in October and had a fine day after all the rain. The setting of this inn is so idyllic with the tranquility of the river outside your window. It is a... More

Peaceful, serene, off the beaten path. If this is what you're looking for, Bufflehead Cove is for you. Rooms are spacious, nicely decorated, and impeccably clean. Breakfasts are fabulous and filling. Loved sitting in front of the fire in the great room overlooking the cove. Bufflehead is a slice of heaven. More

Wish we could linger longer, but all rooms were sold out. We stayed overnight and found the peace which we'd expected. Amazingly tranquil, you can hear the silence. Wonderful owners. Harriett is simply delightful. (Say "Hi" to Cassie:) We did not meet Erin or Jim, although Jim's breakfast was out of this world. Everything here is so well detail-oriented: from... More

Not much to add to the reviews to be honest. We stayed at the Bufflehead Cove Inn at the same time as many of the recent reviewers (I can tell because they all mention the terrible weather!) and can only go along with their comments. My wife and I did a 2 week roadtrip around New England and can honestly... More

Thanks so much for your positive review of your visit with us. I loved the comment..." in an American sort of way..." about our breakfast. I have been to England so know that your breakfasts are minus the sweet stuff we do here. I love the English breakfast! I hope you found some sunshine along the way on your trip.... More

There's not a lot more to say. All the excellent reviews below are right. Stayed in the River Cottage for 5 days at the beginning of October and although it rained hard for several days, it didn't seem to matter. The lovely Cottage was in a beautiful location to spend time just relaxing waiting for the rain to stop. The... More
