I just came back from a wonderful 3 nights stay at Cape Arundel. Being my first time in Maine I could not have had a better experience. I can't wait to return! I felt I was staying more in a private home than in a hotel. Everybody in the staff was friendly, but I have to give a special thank... More

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely old inn, which was built in the 1890s and retains a feel of the Victorian era. The view of the sea from our room was breathtaking! Although I think the restaurant menu could do with some improvement because the food just didn't measure up to the setting, there are many other restaurants in... More

We went back to the Inn this year for a belated Anniversary celebration. We wanted to see Kennebunkport decorated for Christmas. Kennebunkport at this time of year...and specifically Cape Arundel Inn are just beautiful. What a wonderful weekend. We arrived and were greeted with a complimentary upgrade to the most beautiful room with the most unbelievable view I have ever... More

We stayed here and enjoyed a room with a beautiful view. We also had a fireplace in the room to keep us warm. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is great. We would definitely stay here again.

Despite being on a lovely remote stretch of road, the rooms were not quiet at night. It was air conditioning units from the neighbouring cabins - we were in the annex. In a place like this (and a price like this) I want to hear the waves and nothing else. There were some very nice touches like beach towels and... More
