Connie was very nice. She even changed the breakfast menu for us when she learned that we didn’t like sweets. The room was comfortable and we really felt welcomed in Connie’s house. Highly recommend.

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!

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.

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

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!

Great location!

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful inn. Connie was very helpful and easy to reach with questions. She gave us a choice on what we wanted for breakfast and it was delicious. We felt like we had gone back in time and could see that it was well maintained. It's just 2 blocks to LL Bean, so we could walk to it and many other stores and restaurants. Great stay!

Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was good. The only downside was the bathroom shower was extremely small. A joke was even made about not dropping the soap. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Nice stay.
