My wife and i stayed here for the first time in mid-august. Now, i know it's kittery and that prices are high, so expect to pay a few extra bucks to spend a night anywhere. And even though i feel like i should have received more for my money - like a real shower for example, or maybe a cheap bottle of bubbly in the room - we still both agreed that we loved this place! The building itself looks like a jolly castle, too! :)
We spent the night in the "princess room", which is indeed fit for a princess... (well, maybe a quirky princess (who doesn't mind sitting down in a vintage claw-foot tub, to attach a shower hose for a rinse-down!!). The room is definitely different. We had to chuckle at all the ornaments, pictures, teddy bears, etc, etc, etc...! Overall, the room was fun.
(note: when we perused the area on our 3rd floor level, we got to see "the turret" room. If i get to stay there again, this is the room i'd pick - it was beautiful! I should mention that the rooms were all very clean.)
Breakfast the next morning was great. We were served apple turnovers with tea & coffee, then they brought out a broccoli & garlic scramble with vegetarian sausage, which was very good!! The coffee was plentiful - nice & strong, too!
Service from the owners was relaxing and pleasant, respecting our peace & quiet and coming out only to bring us more food & coffee.
Overall, a fun experience, even if a little too pricey. And personally, i'd stay there for more than one night, if given the chance and money.
So, if you can handle quirky, romantic elegance with something different thrown into the mix, then check this place out. I'd recommend to anyone who can tap into the fun side of their lives!
