Accommodating, helpful and very friendly staff. We bought some fresh oysters down east but hadn't thought of the oyster knife. Asked the manager if, by chance we could possibly borrow an oyster knife? Well, due to liability issues, they would not allow me to borrow the knife but offered to have the chef shuck them for us (after signing a waiver!.....I hate where our country is, but totally understand!). We listened to live piano to relax us during a raining and "trafficy" day driving from down east and Acadia national park. Just one mile down the road from Walker's point (The Bush compound) I was really hoping that we might run into 'W' and Mrs. but to no avail. The room was well appointed and a corner room with beautiful views of the chanel. Picture commercial lobster boats moored at bouys as the tides rise and fall with the hours going by. A rainy day to start lead to clear skies and a beautiful bluebird sky with white puffy clouds to accent. Breakfast buffet included in the stay along with free bikes to use as guest made our stay complete. I only wish we had more time to spend here at the resort! Huge thanks for making our stay complete and fabulous!! Cheers to you all. Oh, I almost forgot, they have a shuttle that runs out to dock square every half hour. What a blessing.

**This review is only for the event space and the bar near the event space**…read more Great location with more parking than typical in Kennebunkport. Amazing views, and the inside is gorgeous. Cute place with lots of cute decorations. They have a little bar right next to the event space that you can get a drink and it looks like you can get a drink to go as well. I would love to stay here sometime!

My wife and I have stayed in Auberge Resorts in several states. While not inexpensive, we've always…read morefelt the accommodations and service delivered value. Not the case with the White Barn Inn. The cost (~&1,300/night) is in line with the other Auberge resorts. There the similarities end. Our room (Garden 2) was claustrophobically small, a single uncomfortable chair for sitting, a single sink in the bathroom, erratic cable TV and heat that exceeded the thermostat setting. I've had rooms at a Hampton Inn that were roomier and much better furnished for $150/night. The staff was friendly, but in one case did not follow up on a promise. We had dinner reservations at the property restaurant for 6:00 pm and asked if they could move it to 6:30 or 7:00. The gentleman at the front desk said he would check and let us know. We never heard from him. VERY disappointed in our stay and recommend to all to avoid this property. The Auberge brand has been greatly tarnished in our eyes.

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.

Not sure if the hotel changed ownership or what, but not the same quality and service I experienced…read moreduring my stay a couple years ago. Bottom line: it is not worth the $300-$400 price point at all, but not bad if you can score a deal of some sort. The hotel positions itself as higher end and if you go in expecting that you'll definitely be disappointed. But if you can score a deal it's not bad given the location. Pros: - Convenient location within 1 mile of downtown - Adirondack chairs on the lawn with gorgeous views of the water - Breakfast included Cons: - Just removed another star - found erroneous charges on my credit card from this resort and I can't reach a person to help me remove the charges (keep going to voicemail) - Breakfast used to be pretty legit (eggs, etc.), now it's just a carb buffet of cereal, muffins, toast - The hotel boasts "afternoon refreshments in the piano room" around 3:30 PM. This consisted of about 4 cookies, each the size of a quarter, other days there was nothing. Usually when hotels offer afternoon refreshments there are beverages or ... more than 4 cookies? Maybe better to not offer anything at all than tell guests to go to an empty room? - There used to be access to a nearby pool as well as free kayak and canoe rentals, and staff informed us they don't offer these amenities anymore - Staff was really disorganized and at times unnecessarily rude (for example, allowing late check-out and then insisting they hadn't permitted it) - Some of the rooms are on the 3rd and 4th floors and we noticed staff never offered to help carry guests' luggage (there are no elevators) - Rooms in the older building are very basic (for the price point) - rooms didn't have a clock, 2 lamps but no overhead light so the room was lit pretty dimly in the evening, no luggage stand.

We visited Breakwater Inn this past summer after seeing alot of PR about the renovation and new…read moreownership. During the peak season, rooms were at a minimum everywhere as expected, yet after much digging, we called and booked the private cottage at $700+ a night. We were told it was updated, new furnishings, etc, etc... The cottage is located just off the parking lot along a shared dock to the ocean. Sounds pretty, yet upon entering the cottage, it smelled of furnitire sealant or something peculiar. I travel with an air purifier and I'm glad I brought it because I wouldn't have been able to make stay the 3 nights without it. I wanted to leave, yet my partner wanted to bear through it :( The room seems cute with the windows around the cottage overlooking the water, yet you're on stilts and literally on the water with people walking by getting to the boats, etc. No real privacy. The bathroom was not new, it may have been updated years ago, yet it definitely needed some attention and the kitchen could have used a makeover. Knicks and dents in cabinets, as well as black mold found under the sink. The manager was alerted about it at the end of our trip when i found it, all he said was 'sorry about that" ( insert ridiculously annoyed emoji) With that said, on our second day, while in the cottage around 2pm we hearing faint knock on the door. I started walking up.to the door and there stood a woman and a couple entering our cottage. The woman with the keys and pad & pen says, " Oh you're in here."... Uh duh! Yes I rented the place! I assumed she wanted to show the cottage to the couple for an event, yet why not just call and ask if she could take a moment of our time. The whole experinece was disrespectful and unprofessional! I couldn't have been happier to get out of there. I absolutely dislike sharing 1 star reviews, yet Worst experinece of my life.

The room comes with robes and a Kruig coffee machine.

In addition, they also leave a cute breakfast bag hanging on your door in the morning with local pastries! Ours had two slices of blueberry bread, orange, orange juice and yogurt. Additionally, the hotel did let us check in very early and it was extremely appreciated! Would absolutely stay here again.

All staff we encountered were friendly and attentive. Our cottage was perfect. Clean, bright, and appointed with all we'd need during our stay.
