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.

I would love to stay here sometime!

I felt completely safe here and never had to move my car, except to go to the beach. It's incredibly walkable to the shopping center and surrounding restaurants and the walk up the cliff toward the bush compound. This is my 6th year coming to Kennebunk/Kennebunkport and now that I've found this gem, it will always be where I stay in town! The staff was incredible and I loved that guests had access to the kitchens in the houses to store leftovers and that water was left out for guests! The breakfast was also incredible and loved being able to sit out on the lawn and be able to enjoy my meal and to come back in the afternoon and just relax in the sun. I also had a late checkin and the staff made it incredibly easy to get in on my own. I really appreciate the little welcome gift that was waiting on me in my room! I highly recommend this place to anyone and literally everyone I meet. Will forever stay with this hotel group if I'm in a city they have a location! Side note: I overheard a conversation of 2 guests that weren't happy that it wasn't decorated like it should have been to be authentic, but with a quick look at the website, you can tell what you're getting, so just make sure you're booking the right place for you!

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!

If you are looking for a five star service restaurant in the area with the charm of a quaint New England coastal inn this is the place to be. With stunning water views and spectacular hues from sunsets, this restaurant continues to be a favorite of mine in the area. Although a little on the higher price side you will be charmed by the quality of the food and the expert skill of the preparation. The service continues to be focused on the guest and the guest experience. The menu has shifted to a prixe fix menu post-COVID, but this has only enhanced the enjoyment of the restaurant throwing down the challenge of enjoying a taste from each of the categories put forth. Splurge and take advantage of the chef's course as well. The service is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Everyone on property makes it their mission to offer a great guest experience. Prior to dining, I like to enjoy a cocktail on the porch or "living room" area just inside if you inclement weather. The cocktails are unique and I always like to sample a couple different ones before moving on to enjoying the nice wine selections to be enjoyed with the meal. Whether a special occasion or simply a nice night out this is a great place. Note -- in the summer reservations can be booked out a few weeks so be sure to plan ahead!

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.

I am very curious at the type of training they get but they are FANTASTIC. Our waiter Tristan was great, very patient, went over to explain every dish and how it was prepared. Coffee and tea was served within 2 minutes, followed by complimentary dishes from the kitchen. We ordered three dishes: skillet breakfast, fluffy pancakes and lobster with polenta (sorry, forgot the exact name). OMG. Those pancakes were definitely fluffy and the chef didn't skimp on chocolate chips. The skillet breakfast was savory, nutritious, side salad was a nice touch. My husband loved his polenta with lobsters, he was in the carboloading mood that day. I believe the rooms at the inn are great too; I heard other visitors commenting how much they were enjoying their stay. We would love to come back as guests next time.

She was full of recommendations (i.e. Goose Rocks Beach) and was friendly and kind without being overbearing. We showed up a bit late and the key was left in a coded lock box for us. The room was compact, but fine for my husband and I for our 2 night stay. We knew beforehand that breakfast would be boxed for us and that was fine. I was happy that they provided yogurt was Chobani and actually had some protein in it (unlike most continental breakfasts that are a carb party). We rented bikes and kayaks during our stay. It was great that they had these for us to utilize. The bikes should be covered during storage, however. They were a bit rusty. This was the priciest place that we stayed during our 7 night trip, but I wouldn't consider it the best. After our stay, I do feel that our stay should not have cost us so much.

The room mostly kept its charm but there are some areas for improvement: - The blackout curtains are just garbage - ugly, broken and completely out of context - The bathroom shower gel, shampoo and conditioner are worse than the handsoap at a public restroom - The room looked great but for a luxury hotel, they should do more (decorative pillows, nicer curtains, etc.) Because of the age of the property and primarily because of its size, I assume it's extremely difficult and expensive to maintain.
