    Tea, fruit, and home-made cookies by a roaring fire in February--oh, I can get to loooove this! Wait, what about the elegant, but not fussy room--and the bed turn-down service with a crystal pitcher of ice water and chocolate? So, now that I'm home, I am still mourning not waking up to Amy's fabulous breakfast each day. I better go back. You should go, too.

    My wife and I stayed at the Benjamin F Packard House for three nights as our honeymoon. I had heard wonderful things in others' reviews. All the same, we were blown away. Amy and Mark's hospitality was beyond our expectations. It's the little things—a pitcher of ice water appearing on the dresser in the evening, a lamp on and waiting to welcome us back to our room for the night. But it's also the big things—like Amy's incredible raspberry peach crisp, not to mention her ability to make three different and delicious breakfasts gluten-free for my wife. If I have any regret, it is that we were having so much fun exploring Maine (thanks to Amy and Mark's suggestions) that we missed afternoon tea at the house. We'll just have to come back.

    We found the innkeepers friendly and knowledgeable, with lots of good tips about what to see and where to eat in the area. The B&B was spotless, well decorated, and the breakfast was excellent.

    Wonderful stay!

    The breakfasts were culinary delights and set the bar for B & B's. Both Amy and Mark were so helpful with facts about Bath and surrounding area.
