    An expectation exists that when in Maine do as wishes of you. Which is to say, come visit and basque in the climate of having to do nothing but relax. Pilgrims Inn can be part of a strategy to visit this beautiful region of Maine and...do nothing. Relax, enjoy kayaking, catch up on your reading, enjoy long walks, start or finish your writings and feel the warm generosity of the local people. This quaint Inn is a best bet to enjoy a quiet, restful time away from it all. Free parking, WiFi - that is for you Californians - and comfortable beds are but a few benefits to enjoy while a guest here with his friendly staff. A light breakfast in included and the paroles and common areas are cozy.

    The home/bed and breakfast was a beautiful place. The grounds were beautiful and the home was very…read morewell kept. Location was ideal. We were very disappointed in the breakfast and access to the butlers pantry. The breakfast was not at all close to what is depicted on the website. Very little food...not even a full adult breakfast (one very thin waffle and three small slices of sausage). No granola and yogurt or food comparable to what is advertised on the website. The website says there are items available in the evening, but all we could find was a jar of prepackaged cookies. Also, the butler pantry is closed in the middle of the day, so no access to anything placed in the fridge, the ice, the water, or coffee. I've stayed at many bed and breakfasts in New England and around the country and this one was disappointing, to say the least. We had gathered with many of our friends for the weekend who stayed at Timbercliff and at other B&Bs in Camden. All had nothing but great things to say about the large breakfasts, hosts, accommodations. We and our friends who stayed at Timbercliffe were disappointed. Other notes: * No information shared with us on housekeeping (fresh towels? do they come in every day or not...just wanted to know) * Never officially met Kevin (one of the owners/hosts). Even though we stayed for three nights and he served breakfast to us without saying much. I would not recommend if you have options of staying elsewhere. I very much wanted to love this place, but sadly, we walked away disappointed because our expectations were what we saw on the website, which vastly differed from reality.

The patio is massive and the views of the ocean are amazing. I wish I could sit on the patio for a month with a glass of wine and a book. The hosts are welcoming and lovely-- they made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The breakfast is absolutely DELICIOUS and we were so excited every morning to eat. Thank you so much! We highly recommend anyone stay here! It was perfect!

Les greeted us and took the time to show us to our room on the third floor telling us all about the history of the property on the way. Someone complained in another review that there are stairs up to the third floor. It is true. They are wooden, steep, and full of character. The floors are original and slope and creak as expected, but are beautifully painted and well kept. Our room was beautiful and the bathroom was perfect, looking like it was remodeled yesterday. Since we realized there was not going to be a lot of dining choices, we stopped at a grocery on our way in for a light picnic dinner of cheese, crackers, fruit and a bottle of wine to enjoy by the water. It was a perfect evening to watch the sunset on one of the two waterfront areas on the property. It was only my husband and me. We could see another couple sitting on the rocks, but it still felt so private and it truly felt like something out of a romantic movie. The next morning we enjoyed the best blueberry muffins provided by the host and coffee on the front porch of the inn. As we sat looking down toward the water both a deer and a red fox came through the yard as a humming flew around the beautiful flowers. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. I almost want to keep this gem a secret!

We stayed in the Monhegan suite, which had two bright, airy rooms with a lovely view. We had a lovely evening walk around the beautiful property, and such a peaceful night's sleep. We even received a (handwritten!) kind thank you note from the owners when we returned home, which was such a lovely touch.

    Staying at the Pentagoet was a true delight that I would recommend to anyone! Castine itself is…read moresuch a quaint town with many wonderful local businesses and so much history. Being there makes you feel so far away in the best way possible. But the shining star of the town has to be the Pentagoet run by the most wonderful innkeepers, Matt & George, and a truly lovely staff! Everyone we encountered on their team was kind, friendly and offered excellent service. It's easy to just park your car on main street or on the side of the inn and then from the minute you walk into the space, you are blown away at all of the decor and details that make it feel comfortable, classy and modern and at the same time so true to the inn's Victorian history. You can tell each corner of the inn has been decorated intentionally and with much care. Our room (#3) was comfortable, clean and had so many fantastic details like a signature smell, complimentary bath/shower items, and of course - the signature balcony (AMAZING!). The communal spaces are fantastic as well. The patio is gorgeous, the porch is so peaceful, and the pub is incredibly cozy and chic. Breakfast was delicious and they also offer coffee service upstairs outside of the rooms, which is such a great touch. The food and drinks at the pub are also outstanding!! For good reason, the restaurant books up fast so definitely always make a reservation whether you are staying or only coming for dinner but you certainly won't regret experiencing the cocktails (love the blueberry one..so Maine!) and the food. The menu is seasonal I believe but everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The ode to lobster on the menu was also quintessential Maine and so good.. my husband had lobster linguini. I had short rib sliders that were also amazing. If you get the chance to try the blueberry cobbler or chocolate tres leches, do it!! Those are two desserts my husband and I will never forget. Actually.. the whole place and experience is something we will never forget. It was a highlight of our Maine vacation and we will forever be grateful to Matt and George for the space they have created and remarkable levels of hospitality that feel truly special! Thank you Matt, George and the Pentagoet team!

The owners, Matt & George, could not have been more welcoming from the moment we walked in the front door. The property itself is oozing with rich history and the interiors have been brilliantly restored (well done, George!), making this stay feel like both a step into the past and luxury pampering. Matt is quite the chef, and the inn's evening menu sings with local comfort foods, each item delicious and unique (we tried most of the menu). Downeast Maine may have stolen my heart on this trip, but it's the Pentagoet that has been top of mind since we left. I can't wait to return!

We were on our honeymoon and she was more accommodating than we could've ever wished. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Fuchias line her lovely wrap around porch; the garden is like a Victorian dream. You can see views of the wonderful ocean and sunset from the cupola. She was sweet enough to allow our service dogs to stay, and she spoiled them rotten. She had every type of drink and sweet, snack, chocolate and treat you could ask for (at a minimal fee). The house is beautifully decorated. The bed was the most comfortable bed that we've ever stayed in other than our one at home.We spent one day in Acadia and found the drive between Sargentville and Acadia absolutely beautiful. Annie even had a perfect picnic basket in which she allowed us to pack a wonderful picnic to take to Acadia. She also recommended an awesome local spot called the Fishnet that had amazing lobstah rolls ;) If you're looking for a nice place to stay that is not a tourist trap, it's totally worth the drive. We quickly realized that Wi-Fi in the entire Acadia to Sargentville area is very limited. Although Wi-Fi is available at Annie's, it is limited. I had issues on my laptop, however my husband watched an entire movie on his iPad. But, seeing as we're from the mountains, we were completely understanding of the fact that when you're off the grid you should get off the Internet. I have already recommended Maplehurst to several friends. Annie brings southern hospitality to the most northern part of the US.
