    The service in the restaurant was the slowest in history- perhaps because one obviously overworked waitress was flying to try to take care of the full dining room while the Innkeepers hung at the bar chatting with a friend. Our bread arrived well after the appetizer-two tiny slices of store bought, poor quality, stale, french bread. In the middle of our meal, the Inn Keeper went into the kitchen and screamed and berated someone in the kitchen, using an unbelievable foul stream of language consisting of long runs of the F word. In the morning, breakfast had scant portions and mediocre quality. We went elsewhere for breakfast after that first day. We are not the fussiest travelers- we expect glitches and some issues with old buildings especially on the Atlantic coast where the weather can be harsh, But this place is NOT what it purports to be. At best, this place is shabby. Our room had an old stained carpet, couch with torn upholstery, broken side table, dirty drinking glasses, dust on all surfaces, dirty windows and dozens and dozens of flies! We did not see the flies until we closed the curtains to go to bed and then we spent 20 minutes killing flies. When we mentioned it to the Inn Keeper, he laughed and said that was a problem with several rooms! No offer to clean things up or compensate us for sharing our room with Vermin! the heater is in the bed area of the room and was the loudest thing on earth- my spouse can sleep through anything but even this heater awoke him. We kept it shut off at night (thankfully we had a down comforter) It overheated the bed area and there was NO heat in the bath!There were no amenities such as extra pillows, a water pitcher, extra blankets, tea or coffee in the common areas. The bed gave us both a backache. Moreover, our 3rd floor room only had one egress- no fire escape for us. We would have left had we been able to get a refund. And this was not inexpensive!

    This B&B is beautiful and massive. If you need some peace and quiet, this is the place.

    This was a trip worth making. The Manor Inn was a perfect weekend getaway with a comfortable room, relaxing parlor, an excellent menu for dinner as well as hiking trails right out the back door. Breakfast is delicious and served in the main dining area with large windows that overlook Castine and brings in the morning sunshine and gets your day off to a great start.

    Pleasant stay at the Manor. The yoga class we took with Nancy was outstanding and highly recommended for anyone who is interested. Breakfast every morning was delicious. Unfortunately, my husband and I didn't get a chance to have dinner there. Castine is a very beautiful low key kind of place. Great for relaxing and outdoor activities. Kayaking with Karen was wonderful. Karen is a very knowledgeable tour guide, who gave great instruction for kayaking on the Penobscot Bay. Highly recommend a stay of 3 days in Castine to reduce anyones stress level.


    Romantic Maine Inn, wonderful food and friendly, if a little rough around the edges

    Enjoyed our stay at the Manor Inn immensely - we attended a friend's wedding and the catering hey provided was superb - from hors d'oeuvres through to the multiple desserts! The staff is very, very friendly and helpful. We liked the breakfast (granola with fruit in our case; our son had eggs) - not impressive, but very nice. The walk above the inn on trails was a real highlight - lots of wild blackberries and views. Our room was romantic and spacious, but the bathroom left a lot to be desired - sink didn't drain, shower was fine but have had much nicer in similar inns. But overall, a great experience, even considering those minor drawbacks.
