Candlebay Inn

Quiet, comfortable and fabulous breakfast!

Liked: Nice old house, great host
Disliked: Not much

Our host was warm, friendly,...

Liked: Really delicious homemade breakfast. Friendly, helpful and convivial hostess. These two things made our stay five star. This is a real bed and breakfast in a lovely but not luxurious heritage house, with a tiny cozy sitting room, and a bright airy dining area. Very dog friendly, although this was not important to us. No annoyances caused by the dogs at all however.
Disliked: Maybe bigger room size, but we were comfortable, and it is a vintage property. Steep staircase, again not unexpected, just something to know if you have trouble with stairs

Candlebay Inn a charming step...

Liked: Beautiful building built in 1848. You're renting charm and comfort and coziness rather than full services. We appreciated the welcoming and helpful innkeeper, easy parking, large king "Evergreen" room, comfortable bed, good wifi, good water pressure. They offer a competitive rate, really good cooked breakfast (including good strong coffee), quiet street just off Route 1 in Freeport, close to LLBean, other shops and restaurants. We will probably stay here again.
Disliked: The 14 stair steps to upstairs rooms presented a challenge at the end of the day (innkeeper Connie helped with luggage). Front steps a challenge with no ramp.Candlebay is dog friendly and four dogs were in residence during our stay. Three were well-behaved. The fourth barked incessantly, waking us at 715 am. Neither a deal breaker but a heads-up. Bathrooms vary in size. Evergreen room's is huge.

Perfect!

Liked: The breakfast was excellent. Connie was a great host.

If you like old houses...

Liked: I grew up in a big an beautiful old house so this inn checks all the boxes. Mom and I had great conversation with owner, Connie, she was very pleasant. The coffee and breakfast was delicious. The rooms are gorgeous, each with their own bathrooms(we got to see all the rooms because we were the only guests). Beds were very comfy. Love that they are a pet friendly establishment for future trips w our dog, Bailey.
Disliked: Squeaky bathroom door Room was too hot

Exceptional

Liked: we appreciated the fresh fruit and pastries. The host was full of advice on which state parks to visit in January.
