Craignair Inn

This is a wonderful B&B; the owners were very, but genuinely, nice. The place is beautiful and the breakfasts were delicious.

This is a gem, located a few minutes south of Rockland-Camden. Sitting on the veranda or walking to Clark island was so relaxing, the room was very nice, the bed comfortable. Dinner was just outstanding- note fresh fish, wonderful lobster stew- great chef! Breakfast was also wonderful, using local ingredients. We will definitely stay there again!

With a busy summer ahead, we decided to take some time for R & R and to celebrate my birthday, and what better place than the coast of Maine? The Craignair is off the beaten path, but worth the trip. Situated right on the coast, you can have quiet, with porch or lawn chairs for relaxing. Chat with the informal young owners who will give you directions to the quarry. This involves a walk through the peaceful meadows and woods and a bit of daring to take a dip in the picturesque quarry. St. George Peninsula and Mid Coast Maine offer many opportunities to explore. The Inn has over 20 rooms to choose from, each tastefully decorated with restrained charm-some with lovely ocean views and some with private baths. With several bathrooms up and down the hallway, just steps away from the bedrooms, there is no worry about guests waiting their turn. Breakfast is enjoyed in the dining room overlooking the lawns and ocean and if you have dinner here (open to the public), the food is fantastic, and beyond expectations. The perfect spot for us!

This place is nice for someone looking for peace and quiet outside the city. The views are lovely. Our room was small, but the common areas are very nice. The one down side was the steep stairs to the second floor. I would recommend another railing on the wall, as you can't grip the existing railing at the top. Could also use a railing at the step-up to the bathroom. Dining was outstanding and the service was great. I would recommend this place to my friends.

I stayed one night at the Craignair Inn. This is a lovely spot if you enjoy peace and quiet and don't mind sharing a bath. The room was simple but comfortable and the breakfast was tasty (we did not eat dinner at the Inn). Location near Rockland and Camden is a plus. I thought the Craignair was good value for money. I would stay there again.

An incredible Inn...beautiful views..romantic rooms...fabulous restaurant...and such a friendly staff! What more could you want? We look forward to returning to the Craignair Inn again and again!!!

Fabulous location on Maine seacoast, with well-appointed rooms, beautiful gardens, a hospitable innkeeper, and a superb restaurant. We will return for the peace, quiet, and pristine setting.

I have lived almost 3/4 of a century and I have visited many B&B's. In my quest to find the best innkeeper, I have seen many; the best one is Neva! Come and meet her at the Craignair Inn!

Thank you for making us feel at home. Great dinner and great view!! Quiet.

We went to Craignar Inn because of the advertised ocean view and great food. We had made dinner reservations but they were canceled when the chef took the day off. The chef was apparently still off the following morning because the "gourmet" breakfast was a English muffin and a slice of cantaloupe. The tide apparently was out the entire time we were there because the water in the picture was a mud flat that went out about half a mile. Dogs were walking across it. When we were there it was in the 80's and they do not have a/c. The rooms were small and did not have the usual amenities such an alarm clock, shampoo etc. When we checked in we were handed the key and told we were on the third floor - that was it. The inn is about 10 miles from anything. We would not go back.

We do not just serve English Muffins and Cantelope. We either serve a full breakfast such as eggs, french toast, etc.., or a Buffet with quiche, frittata, fresh fruit, two kinds of cereal, muffins, english muffins, and bagels and cream cheese and juice. Our dining room is open every night in July and August, and Monday through Saturday during the rest of the season. My chef does not take a "night" off and did not last season. The tide goes in and out every six hours. We put shampoo and soap in every room. Each room has a telephone that has wakeup service.

I had the High Tide room at the Craignair for 2 nights; 2 EXCELLENT nights. The view was beautiful -- I guess I would have been looking out at the person who was taking that photo up there. The sound of the waves quietly lapping the shore at night soothed me to sleep after a couple of busy days. On arrival, after hours of hot driving, with no desire to return to the car to find a perhaps-questionable local restaurant, "Full Service Dinner" may be one of the most beautiful phrases in the English language -- and the food was fantastic! Herb encrusted salmon, sweet and near-sizzling hot, bedded on crispy cool greens, with the salt-breeze coming off the ocean view, and a cold local microbrew in a frosty glass... You can keep your Shangri La, I found mine. To top it off, the beds, the facilities, the service staff, and the innkeeper were all WONDERFUL!

We arrived at the Inn as the stars were comming out....I have never seen stars like that before. the milky way was so thick with stars that it looked like a thin wash of white wash was painted on the night sky. We had a lovely room on the ocean side and were lulled to sleep by the lapping waves and the sounds of the distant bell bouys. The gracious owners made us seem so special....and the chef Chris ....impressed us with his culinary skills. What a treat we have had at the Craignair Inn....a true Maine experience....Excellent views, calming surroundings, good comfy beds, charming host and hostess and superb food. What else could you ask for.....and best of all it was resonably priced.

The Craignair was delightful! Delicious food, great people, and what a view! I would tell anybody to stay there!

A charming country inn that was a delight! An oasis for R&R!

A charming Inn with spectacular views of the dramatic Maine coast. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. The exquisite restaurant added yet another level of enjoyment and helped to create the ultimate Maine experience!
