The property has charm! The bed was super comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! The owners went out of their way to make breakfast early for us so we could eat before we headed out on our kayak trip and we were so grateful for their willingness to accommodate us. We highly recommend staying here and hope to stay again in the future.

Only traveling through for one night so the location just off the highway and yet in quiet, lovely setting was perfect. We enjoyed being able to take lovely walks in the evening and the next morning and even got in a bit of shopping. Dinner options were plentiful and close. My one suggestion, for those traveling, is to start breakfast service a bit earlier than 8:00 AM.

The Candlebay Inn is a warm and cozy bed and breakfast. The house was built in the 1800’s which adds to its charm. Our family occupied two rooms and each room was clean and with the necessary amenities including private bathrooms. The owner, Connie, was very welcoming and provided us with a wonderful breakfast. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Maine!

LIKE COMING HOME TO FAMILY

A very special place and owner in an historic Maine town. Connie met us after hours in her pristine B&B, offered us tea after our long trip, and made us feel like family immediately. Charming room and amazing breakfast. We'll be back!

Thank you to the inn keeper Connie and her family for a wonderful taste of New England hospitality. Hopefully I'll get to come back and visit again The inn is clean and well taken care of even though the house was built in 1848. Breakfast chats with other guests and the inn keeper was a highlight of the stay. Would highly recommend!
