The Harbor Inn in Kennebunkport is hands-down our new favorite bed and breakfast. The owner, Mike,…read moreclearly understands hospitality on another level--he remembers the name of every single guest and you can tell he truly cares about the happiness of all guests during their stay. He gives a thorough overview of the inn when you arrive and always has great recommendations. I genuinely don't know if he sleeps at night because he's there to make you breakfast before 8:30am and is around at 10pm keeping the tea kettle hot for you. The rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable, and the daily breakfast is generous and delicious. We also loved the thoughtful extras: a cozy tea bar, complimentary bikes, beach towels, and even Tommy Bahama chairs for the beach. Those little touches made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Location is great--close to a small beach and also the town. There are several restaurants even closer you can walk to as well. If you're looking for a place in Kennebunkport that truly goes above and beyond, the Harbor Inn is it.

Lovely old mansion, but not really my style for travel. I prefer more amenities, which these KCC…read moreInns do not possess, such as elevators, in room safes, better bathroom mirrors, at least a bar or restaurant, employees at the ready (although they were fairly helpful when I texted them for assistance), and larger bathrooms. Plus, it was a bit noisy at 7am -I could hear the people on the floor above me using the bathroom and creaking floors when they walked; I could also hear them putting out breakfast in the sunroom below with the clanging of the dishes and the doors closing. If you prefer to stay at a bed-and-breakfast, then this might be a good place for you. The house was nicely furnished; my Junior suite was clean and fairly comfortable (although for some odd reason, the furniture was unusually low to the ground), and it was interesting from a historical perspective. It just really wasn't my style. One last FYI if you decide to stay there - there's no yard or street signage at any of the houses except the Nathaniel Lord Mansion - I drove around in circles looking for the Jefferds house.....

We had no idea , "to keep in old world charm" there is no air conditioning, tv , coffee maker , but there is a dog area right below our peaceful balcony . The " Quiet" hours are NOT respected or enforced . The noise level makes resting and peacefulness impossible. Strongly suggest if peace and quiet is what your looking for, do not book this area . It's like being in the middle of a dog park/playground . Would prefer a tv to help drown out noise . Simple solution is to not return . Not for us any more. As others have mentioned, they also now charge for the buffet . Add gratuity , for a buffet , that i had to find and get my own coffee, which was the only responsibility of the server . With the prices here , that adds insult to injury. So , Old World Charm ? Not so much !

Close enough to get downtown easily and the option to walk around the beautiful coastline. Every morning you are given a simple and delicious breakfast that includes a pastry item, fruit, and juice.

We walked into town which a nice plus. Lots of great restaurants to choose from. Karen was sweet and professional. She gave us all the info we needed and recommended some places to eat. And the cookies in the office were delicious!

You're going to slog your luggage to your room yourself, perhaps in the rain or snow, from the parking lot, and most likely up a flight or, heaven forbid you booked one of the rooms on the third floor, up 2 flights of stairs. There always appeared to be just one staff person at the hotel, handling the front desk. The inn is very convenient to dock square. We only drove to dinner one night, the rest of the stay we had quite nice meals within a block or so of the hotel. We stayed in the perkins suite on the second floor. Nice sized room. Roomy bathroom, good shower, decent counter space and several drawers. Felt clean and new, like it had been remodeled not long ago. You knew you were in an older hotel, but the room was clean and well kept. Comfortable seating in front of the TV. They've upgraded to a larger TV than shows on many pictures. It was easy to pull out from the wall and switch out the hotel cable feed for our own streaming device. Plenty of convenient outlets. Good sized fridge. Bed comfortable and room can be kept reasonably dark and cold. A small missed opportunity not having a few more pieces of furniture in the room. There was plenty of available space where they could have put a small desk for working, a bench at the foot of the bed, or a floor lamp for evening lighting. All of these would have not crowded the room and would have made the stay more pleasant. Continental breakfast provided is very basic. If you want to be in the midst of Kennebunkport action, it's a good place to stay. But there are many other great options in the area, and the lack of service, especially around help with check in/out is enough to prevent us from ever returning.

The first room was claustrophobic ( very small ) We didn't eat there but that was just because of the mindset created by the lack of cleanliness throughout the rest of the building!

Who knows, don't stay here unless the rest are full! So much potential???
