This is the third time we've stayed at Watchtide and we recommend it highly. The Inn itself is a charming 1700 building and the grounds are lovely, the back lawn stretches almost down to the bay. We love the quirky old rooms, and the stories the Innkeepers are willing to share about the people who have stayed in them. The public rooms, the library and the sunporch which stretches across the entire back of the inn, are a pleasure to relax in. The hosts are welcoming and gracious, the breakfasts are to die for. We come for a few days of peace and pampering each year, and we'll be back.

My first impression as I pulled into the driveway was not good as the grounds were overgrown and the paint on the house was pealing. When we walked onto the porch we were greeted by the host telling us they had a rough winter which caused the paint to peel. Wen we walked into the house we noticed a strong odor which turned out to be our host. She was dressed shabby and was dirty. Certainly not what we expected, considering we have stayed in many Bed and Breakfasts over the years and never had a situation like this. We were shown to our room which was not clean at all. Our host informed us that in order to be eco friendly she only washed the towels every four days. I went int the bathroom which was filthy, the toilet was stained, quite disgusting! There were two windows in the room, I tried to open both of them and the French grids in both of them fell out. There was no way I could stay in this B and B, it was gross. We left forfeiting our deposit of $240.00 for four nights, because the hostess refused to return any of it to us.

Historic building with a lovely sun porch, and adequate rooms. The hosts Pat and Frank were absolutely gracious, friendly folks who shared their recommendations of the area. Their genuine warmth and hospitality were a definite bonus to our visit.

We selected this B&B because of its attractive, well-organized website and proximity to several towns on the Maine coast, without being in the more congested areas. We were pleased that the couple who own and manage the house could accommodate our vegetarian diet. The menu changed every day and included fruits, breads, and entrees that were skillfully prepared and artistically presented. Such variety! With the exception of the coffee, orange juice, and butter, there were no repeats over the course of 7 mornings. The gracious hosts Pat and Frank were engaging and helpful with suggestions of places to visit or eat. We chose our room because of its view of the ocean. The other rooms were larger than ours yet we had adequate space for sleeping and dressing. Would only recommend The Brigadier room if you can manage living in close quarters with your roommate/partner and welcome that adventure. A favorite in-room activity was looking out the window for the resident foxes and to see the ocean through the break in the trees. There are lovely common rooms where guests can read, play games or simply relax. An eclectic library is available for guest use. The house is located right on Route 1, the main coastal road. Our room was in the rear of the house and we could hear a little road noise from passing trucks. We especially enjoyed the skylight in the bathroom which we could open.
