Property was described as an inn with breakfast when it was actually a B&B. The room was very small for 3 people.

Host was very kind and welcoming! Historic building was beautiful and quaint. Room had everything you could need and the cutest lobster made of towels. The handmade breakfast was nice! Check in and checkout were easy and smooth also. So close to the downtown area, we were able to walk to see everything! Great stay.

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!
