It's right on the water and there's even a restaurant in the middle with great prices! The room was cozy and clean and had a very decent sized bathroom. There are benches near the water and lots of spots to sit and hang out!! I would come back to Ogunquit just to be able to stay here again! I do feel it's also important to note that I was here during off season, so there weren't many people and it was very quiet! I'm not sure how it is during peak season.

The upstairs bar is really nice with the best views in town at least from what I've seen. And the bar food is solid. Meh: The rooms are decent enough, but not when you're paying $500-$600 per night. The pool area is pretty good, but it gets extremely crowded in the high season. Needs improvement: the restaurant food is pretty good but the service even at breakfast when it's not that crowded is extremely slow. Verdict: This used to be one of my favorite places to come to. But it doesn't feel the same anymore. I think there are probably other places where you could save 1 or $200 a night and still enjoy the beauty of the town and not leave scratching your head wondering how you spent so much money at a place where the food is often mediocre, and the rooms are maybe a step above a motel.

The Sparhawk rooms are right at the water's edge and you have wonderful unimpeded views of the Atlantic, Ogunquit Beach, Little Beach and the outlet of the Ogunquit River, with the mesmerizing tides. Plus the views are due east and the sunrises are amazing. However- though the rooms are clean and comfortable with a private patio or balcony, there are some misses for a higher end "resort" property. Our balcony door's deadbolt lock didn't work (which is a safety issue!), the bathroom sink's drain stopper was broken, the walls are rather thin so you easily hear your neighbors (and snorers), and we had ants in the bathroom. Plus it would be nice to have in-room amenities like a coffee-maker (coffee, tea, hot water are available in the lobby but only starting at 7AM, so early birds like us in need of a morning brew are out of luck) and mini-fridge (for keeping those leftovers or desserts fresh - instead, we had to wastefully throw them out). The complimentary Continental breakfast is welcome but the offerings are on the scant side - there should at least be cut fruit available and it would be nice to have hot fresh oatmeal instead of instant oatmeal packets. There are many other choices to stay in Ogunquit that offer such amenities and are more sound-proofed, though perhaps not with the amazing views that Sparhawk offers. But if The Sparhawk would like to be a top-notch stay, I think they need to up their game a little!

The staff is exceptional, Pete has this place running like a top! This time we stayed in Barn Suite 2 and I think this may now be my new favorite room. The shower is unbelievable and the room well appointed. And breakfast? The best! They make scones daily and each day is a different main breakfast. They also provide ice tea and either a sangria or other type drink along with house made cookies (best I've ever had) as well as Whoopie pies and mixed nuts and snack mix.

We especially loved the large salt water hot tub and mid-day snacks (mixed nuts and large chocolate chip cookies - which were delicious). They also offer a mixed drink and wine at the self serve bar during the day. We stayed in the King 7 room and it was spacious. We loved the rain shower head. I also highly recommend the chocolate sampler box add on! We had the chocolate and champagne available at check in which was a nice touch. The hot tub was often quiet around 8pm and made for the perfect end of evening activity. They have an ample selection of towels and robes by the pool that are available to use. We also enjoyed a couples massage offered by the inn. Breakfast was very yummy! Each day there is a large selection of options you can pick and choose from. They had the breakfast offering for the day displayed and then you check off what you want with a marker on a short form. The inn is about a 10 minute walk from Footbridge beach, which was awesome. Overall I would recommend for any weekend getaway or celebration!

Located right on the Marginal Way, the view cannot be beat. They have signs advertising their restaurant and bar at their Marginal Way gate, and we always take a break from walking to go in and order a cocktail, which we then enjoy sitting on the plentiful lounge or adirondack chairs while taking in the ocean view. All of the employees here are friendly and the bartenders are super nice - I always ask them to make me something sweet with muddled blueberries, lemon and vodka and they always come up with a delicious & refreshing concoction. Love our visits here!

Pros: Amazing location on marginal way; lovely view from patio; friendly staff; room was clean…read more Cons: Room itself was extremely disappointing. We stayed in a first floor room in the South wing. This was a short anniversary getaway so we decided to splurge on a view rather than staying in the reliable Hampton Inn & Suites a short distance away. This room is an "efficiency" similar to those that I stayed in with my parents in the 70s when we were traveling on a very small budget, but that is not how The Beachmere describes it. It had been appropriately cleaned, but that was about all it had going for it. The room was crammed with too much furniture. The bed linens were cheap polyester. The coffee maker was old and too large for the counter it sat upon, so it was awkward to use. The bathroom fixtures were the only updated area of the room but the bathroom was absurdly small with no privacy to get dressed. The exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work so the toilet and shower area stayed damp for hours. There was mold growing on the curtains in the main area. The photos on their website made the room look nicer than it actually was and showed a different layout. For me, the accommodations are part of the vacation, especially when it's a special occasion and/or the weather doesn't cooperate, and this place did not deliver. It was over $400 a night at the end of the season (not beach weather) -- that's $12,000 a month! Even more concerning, when I called to book the room, the staff member on the phone told me this was "the nicest" of the rooms that were available. Yikes. This room could be lovely if it were thoughtfully updated -- if the bathroom and kitchenette were expanded to take up one wall and the bed was moved to the other, and they got rid of the extra twin bed and chairs and dresser, put in mini splits instead of old loud a/c units, etc. I've stayed in several charming rooms at New England inns; this wasn't one of them. There was nothing relaxing about this space, so we sat on the patio most of the time, even when it rained. Still, I loved the location and I would consider trying one of the adjacent resorts in the future, or maybe even The Beachmere again in a larger, more modern room. But I wish there had been more truthful reviews of this place so I knew what I was getting into. I hope this helps someone else.

However, if you're like me, and you want a full vacation experience and hotel with a lobby and some amenities, with a pool, private balcony, a room with a beach view, and a fun experience hanging out in the room on a rainy day, or relaxing at night with wine and cheese, just know this is a simple little place and not all rooms are spacious and have views - you will have to make sure you reserve one of the larger rooms with a view. And the hotel is all about location, not frills. We made our plans late and got a garden level room, which was clean and had a comfortable bed, but, well, it's a garden level room with no view, facing a parking lot, with ultra low ceilings and was kind of cramped. Still, it had a nicely redone newer bathroom and shower, a functional air conditioner and it was convenient that there was a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven (for slices) and a sink for dishes etc so you don't have to fill up your coffee maker with water from the bathroom sink lol! We got lucky and had beautiful beach weather for every day of our stay so we just used the room to shower and sleep and spent time at the beach, walking Marginal Way, exploring Perkins Cove, shopping, trying different restaurants and having ice cream at night on one of the many public benches for people watching. This hotel does have a pretty lawn with some tables and chairs for all guests to use and that was nice in the morning with coffee. But if you reserve and get a garden level room, I wouldn't recommend that in the off season, or if you are unlucky and get rainy weather.

Wow- that really hit the spot after walking around Perkins Cove all afternoon! Our room was perfect. Beautiful views and the most comfortable bed (with the most luxurious sheets, btw!). The room came equipped with our own Keurig and fridge (with bottled waters) and Lindt chocolates, yum! Love the sliding pocket door leading to our bathroom and the cozy decor of the entire room. The Covid prevention at the inn was A+ excellent. Hand sanitizers everywhere and the entire inn was spotless clean. And even though we all wore masks, it was easy to see everyone who greeted us was smiling, especially Bruce! Extremely warm & friendly environment. I really LOVED breakfast and appreciated the ordering process: wipe-away mini menus where we checked off what we wanted to order. Brilliant! By the way- possibly the best blueberry pancakes I've ever had in my life! Thank you again for a wonderful stay! We will most definitely be back! Highly recommend! Great location- walking distance to so many cute shops & restaurants!

The Inn is conveniently walkable to both…read moredowntown (10 min), the beach (10 min) and the Ogunquit Playhouse (7 min) where we had tickets to see a show as well as Jonathan's restaurant (5 min). The Inn was clean and the staff was really fantastic. Shawna at the front desk was welcoming, knowledgable, gracious and attentive. We did not take advantage of the pools (there's an ocean!!) or the continental breakfast. The property has an adequate gym with some cardio equipment and basic "nautilus" equipment: Preacher curl, lat pull down, chest pull, leg press and one other machine and a bench that inclines as well as a rack of dumbbells. I wouldn't call it a "gym" rather a workout room. There is a laundry room as well. There was ample parking. Hat's off to Brittany who did the swan towel art left in our room. It was a nice touch with a sign that said "Happy birthday" on it. We also requested the "Birthday package" that included a cake and Prosecco. The Inn isn't cheap. We paid $400+ a night. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Hot water was plentiful and the shower was adequate. However, the compressor in the air conditioner was loud and kept waking us up every time it would come on through the night and it was much too hot outside to turn it off. It would also help if the curtains didn't billow out when the AC was on. We placed a rolled up towel on top of the AC to keep the curtains from billowing. Once we did that, the humidity in the room disappeared. Bring earplugs and a sleep-aid to knock you out if noise bothers you. For the price we paid, we expected better bath amenities. We've had better at less expensive properties across the country. There is a refrigerator but no microwave. They had the standard hair dryer, iron and ironing board. Not much space to hang a lot of clothes (only 4 hangers) if you're staying a week. Would we stay here again? Not sure, as there are so many other properties to stay at in the area. But the hotel is within walking distance to everything but The Cove. The shops downtown are wonderful and you'll never have a better dinner than at Jonathan's.

We stayed in the adults only building and appreciated that it was separate and we had our own pool and hot tub - both very nice! Although there should be more tables and chairs around that area. (Only 4 chairs and 4 chaise lounge seats). Breakfast was good and several selections so we could have different items each day. Parking was tight and we had to leave our vehicle in a spot reserved for check-ins overnight 2 out of the 3 nights. We had 1 vehicle for 2 rooms but there still wasn't enough spots. Hotel was in a very good location to walk into Ogunquit, Marginal Way and Perkins Cove. The hotel looks much nicer online than inperson. It needs some sprucing up and cleaning. Hallway Sheetrock walls had many marks and gouges that should be repaired. Elevator walls were covered with fingerprints and needed to be cleaned. The worst part for me was the carpets in the Compass Rose building. They are VERY dirty. The first floor lobby and hallways looked like someone dragged a leaky bag of garbage throughout the area around the corner and down the hallways. The carpet in the hallways upstairs was a little less dirty but had many stains. This is a first impression and should be replaced asap. Paint and carpets are an easy fix to make this hotel more welcoming Manager Jessie was very nice and helpful and listened to my issues.

So check before booking. There is no restaurant located in this inn, but there are plenty in walking distance. Some of the rooms have a 6 inch drop when you step down from the threshold of your door. The rooms are clean, well lighted and the HVAC system works well. Love the inn and the entire staff that works here. Everyone is so nice and personable. Looking forward to stay here again next year.
