The location in downtown Kennebunkport can’t be beat! Walkable to shopping and dining. It is a contactless stay somewhat like an Airbnb however all instructions and key were left for us at check in and there was a coffee/tea station left stocked for us. The house is an older, antique filled home with all of the quirks that come with that type of home. Our room was cozy and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed Kennebunkport Prelude very much.

Don't be mistaken by first impressions as you drive up to this property. I'd like to call it a diamond in the rough. The host/owner, Bob will admit the property needs substantial renovations to the exterior but don't be misled. The property has it's charm and the location cannot be beat for the price. Park your car and forget it. Everything is within easy walking distance. This is our second time for this property and will definitely try to stay again next year.

Pros: Property was in town and easy to get to everything. We had an A/C unit in our room. Easy checking in and out. The host was available through a text if you needed anything. Cons: We were very disappointed in our room. I’m 71 and my husband is 69 just for perspective. Our room was up two flights of steep stairs in “The Loft” felt like an attic. The bathroom was across the hall not in our room where there was no A/C. It was probably close to 100 deg upstairs. I did not feel safe up there in case of a fire, no avenue of escape except the stairs, no windows were accessible, there was a fire extinguisher. There was no staff to greet you. That personal touch was missing and needed. No breakfast or Continental breakfast which is what we had hoped would be provided. After a long day we were dreading going back to the Loft because it was so hot. Although the A/C made our sleeping much better. But the bathroom was extremely hot and miserable. I’m sure the other rooms were nice. So this is just a review of our room from our perspective. Kennebunkport is a great little town and we really enjoying visiting it.

Overall condition of Inn was not good. Floors very uneven, one bed not adjusted to sloping floor and had to sleep on a slant. Sorely needs updating. The location is excellent and innkeeper did keep the property clean.

This B&B needs significant updating to make it a worthwhile stay. We appreciate that this is an older house but everything is old and needs attention. We especially did not like the TV set up whereby only streaming services were available. We do not use those at home and were unable to get the programs we wanted. The lack of any kind of breakfast kind of ruins the Bed and Breakfast aspect. We completely understand the issues surrounding Covid 19 but other properties had significant safeguards and were able to serve breakfast. The whole experience was disappointing.

Great location. Inn is a classic old New England building with steep stairs and creaky floors. Rooms were clean and bed sheets were ultra soft. If you like old Inns you will love this place. However, if you like new and modern you probably will not be happy with this Inn.

Basic offering

Very nice host and a perfect location. The house needs some updating and decorating but it was comfortable. Other B&Bs I’ve stayed at had a warmer feel with amenities such as afternoon wine and cheese or pastries and cookies. This was more of a room to rent feel and we could smell cigarette smoke

We had a great stay at the Chetwynd House Inn. The location can’t be beat — the inn is literally in downtown Kennebunkport (but on a side street, so it isn’t too noisy). The room was comfortable, and Bob was a great host — very responsive and accommodating. Would recommend staying here!

Delightful B&B

Delightful B&B in an excellent location just around the corner from Kennebunkport’s Main Street. We had a fantastic 2 night stay in this wonderful B&B. We were warmly welcomed by our host Bob who told us about the area and gave us excellent advice about where to eat. Our room was spacious and comfortable, it was extremely hot during our stay and the air conditioning worked a treat. The WiFi was good and we didn’t encounter any major difficulties. We had a delicious breakfast each morning served by Bob who was able to help us out with recommendations about what to do for the day. We had a wonderful stay and if ever in the area again we would definitely call again
