Bourne Bed & Breakfast

After a less than stellar experience at a B&B earlier in my trip, I wasn't sure what to expect from The Morning Dove. But everything was amazing. Rob put me in a larger room on the second floor so that I wouldn't have to walk up two flights of stairs with my luggage. The bed was comfortable, the room was quiet, and the breakfast the next morning was a fabulous omelette and warm croissants. I will definitely return!

Such a perfect location, literally in between the Cove and the Beach/Restaurant area and an easy walk to both. Beautiful inn with a phenomenal home cooked breakfast that will make us want to return again next year!

We have been staying at The Morning Dove for a number of years now! We always have a wonderful and relaxing experience. It is quite, very clean and the breakfast's that are served are amazing. We look forward to our next stay!! Chris & Glen

My first impression as I approached this B&B is that the grounds are terribly neglected. As I entered the B&B, I was greeted with a placard on a desk informing me to call the B&B's host. I did so, and at no time did I receive a warm welcome of any kind. Upon returning from an outing later in the evening, I found this B&B in complete darkness with the door wide open. Very scary. My room was adequate but nothing special. However, the supply of toiletries was inadequate, consisting of two bars of soap and one tiny shampoo sample. Although I used up the shampoo early in my stay, it was never replaced -- not even once! Breakfast was adequate. However, no hot beverages were available later in the day. Worst of all, the host is cold, detached, bored, burned out, and neglectful. I feel that the word "neglected" sums up my experience with this host and with this B&B.

Stayed at the Morning Dove while attending a wedding. The Abby Littlefield room was great...clean and spacious! Breakfast was yummy and the availability of waters and soft drinks whenever you wanted was perfect during the summer heat!

We had a nice relaxing stay at the Morning Dove. The location is perfect for this very walkable community, situated just off the main road that leads to Perkins Point to the right or the village center to the left. We were not there for the beaches. They are located a bit further away, but they were easily accessible via the trolly which circled the town. A trolly stop is just steps from the Inn. We had never been to Ogunquit before and we researched other hotels, inns and B&Bs, on Trip Advisor before making this booking. I must admit that our selection was made in part because there was limited availablilty at the higher rated locations. And that was a lucky thing for us. While driving around town, we discovered that many of those places were not as well situated as the Morning Dove. Our room was large comfortable and very clean, with a nice size bathroom. The innkeeper provided important information about the area and how to get around easily. In addition to the standard cereals, juices, muffins and fruit offered at most B&Bs, there were two "entre" offerings each morning. Some people might be disappointed in this, but the offerings were just right for me.

My partner and I stayed at the Morning Dove recently. The inn is very quaint and comfortable. Rob was very accommodating and made sure that we had everything we needed. I liked that there was a supply of water and soft drinks in the refrigerator for us to use. The breakfasts and the home made baked goods were delicious! We are already looking forward to our next stay!

We've stayed at the Morning Dove for years (over 10) and love every room and every stay. This stay last week was only one night as we were on our way to a family reunion but we generally stay at least three nights. We always enjoy the very comfortable rooms, the wifi throughout the house, the varied and healthy breakfasts with conversations with Rob. We look forward to our next stay at the Morning Dove.

The distinguishing feature of the Morning Dove is the warm reception and hospitality from the owner Rob. He was a great host and made us feel really at home. The location of the Morning Dove is right between the downtown and Perkin's Cove so you can enjoy all of what Ogunquit offers. The breakfasts are nice, all freshly made, with Rob seamlessly customizing the menu to fit my family's two allergy requirements. The room was very comfortable, but got pretty hot one evening and the A/C couldn't catch up. Otherwise very nice and a good value compared to hotels and other B&Bs. We were very happy with our stay and recommend it to those who want a laid back and relaxing stay in a home away from home in Ogunquit!

We had a great time at the Morning Dove. Rob and Rich were very accommodating and friendly. Our room looked even nicer in person.

Had an amazing time during my weekend stay at The Morning Dove B&B. Because it is so early in the season, both my sister and I had the entire inn to ourselves. Rob's hospitality was impeccable and his breakfast is DELICIOUS! The inn is within walking distance of everything I wanted to partake in while in Ogunquit- The Marginal Way and downtown- making the location perfect for my needs. I originally found The Morning Dove on BringFido.com in search of places in Ogunquit that were pet friendly for my young little pup. Rob was completely open to Beau staying with me and even put a water bowl out for him along with our tea water and coffee. The Morning Dove B&B will definitely be my new "must" place to stay when visiting Ogunquit. Thank you Rob!

Be sure to eat at Katies on Shore Rd. Excellent food ,service and ambience.

I surprised my wife with a weekend away for her birthday. The Morning Dove was absolutely great. We both had a wonderful time. When I checked in she was getting a massage & I told the owner what my plans were. He helped me set things up in the room, wine, flowers, etc. He told me we were the only ones staying this weekend & that we would have whole place to ourselves. He was staying at his other B&B. He brought in extra firewood for the fireplace & set up the fireplace for us, showed me where the dvd's & CD's were, etc. I didn't see him again until breakfast. The french toast was delicious & he had fresh fruit both mornings. My wife & I can't wait to go back to the Morning Dove. The location was great & the room description was right on.

A beautiful time to visit Ogunquit and the Morning Dove B&B was a lovely part of that stay. The quaint (but not antiquated) feeling of the Morning Dove added nicely to the slow leisurely pace of an autumn stay - after the bulk of the crowds have gone, but without feeling like the town was deserted. Innkeeper Rob was very helpful during my stay and the Inn's connected restaurant, Katie's Cafe on Shore Road, provided a wonderful dining experience.

Hightly reccomended! Would stay at morning dove again. SOOO totally top notch.

A great place to stay on a quiet side street in busy Ogunquit. We could walk to everything: Perkins cove, downtown, the beach and even the Ogunquit playhouse. The inn keepers are very nice and the breakfasts were great. The room was bright and sunny and clean. I would definitely stay there again.

Would stay here again. The host was great, room was nice and the breakfast was delicious. Make you reservations. Worth the stay.

Rob is a great cook, breakfast was delicous and we enjoyed it on the lovely porch. Our room was lovely and very clean. The Morning Dove is a small walk to Perkins Cove.

Rob gives attention to detail and is an excellent cook. We were very pleased with our stay at The Morning Dove and hope to return one day.

The Inn Keepers were able to accommodate a last minute, late night getaway. So close to Perkins Cove! They also let us park all day to get our 24 hr stay to the max. The hot breakfast was a wonderful surprise. Will stay again. Kathy and Kevin 8/13/10

We enjoyed our stay especially because we took our 2 Golden Retrievers. We were suppose to have a room off the front entrance but when we arrived Rob gave us the Garden Suite so we could have the rear deck to let the dogs out. This was a pleasant surprise! The Morning Dove is wonderful because we could walk the dogs to Perkins Cove, the Marginal Way and downtown Ogunquit. The breafasts were great! We enjoyed our 5 days and can't wait to return next years with the dogs. Thanks Rob for your kindness and hospitality.
