    I must admit, I'm not much of a B&B person- had the impression that they were all the same- small, Victorian with heavy furniture, decorating and accessories right out of the 19th century. The Inn at English Meadows was TOTALLY different....not what I expected at all.....clean, contemporary and modern with a European influence! What a memorable experience! The rooms are well appointed and the toiletries were what you would expect at a 5 star hotel. The breakfast was the most impressive highlight....food that was exceptional.....better than many restaurants I've been to around the country. Fresh salmon eggs benedict one day and unbelievable blintzes the next....all home made by the chef/owner- Liz. Great experience that my wife and I will definitely make the trip back again to experience! Bob- Minneapolis, MN

    Beautifully decorated, very clean, comfortable rooms. The delicious breakfast was superb. Liz and Eric were extremely kind, warm and welcoming. The walk to town location is perfect. The gardens were gorgeous. The outdoor seating area is beautiful and a nice place to gather. We had an excellent experience and will return as soon as possible.

    My wife and I recently visited Kennebunkport for the first time and stayed at the English Meadows Bed and Breakfast for four nights. From the time we parked our car until the time we drove away we felt right at home. The owners Eric and Liz were there when you needed them and away when you wanted peace and quiet. The Inn was lovely, the room was well acquainted and tastefully decorated (my wife went on and on about the fancy sheets and nice towels) and breakfast was remarkable. You could tell that the owners had thought through every detail and made extra effort to go out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. We had a wonderful stay - Mark and Liz exceeded our expectations in every way. We will definitely stay there again the next time we visit Southeast Maine.

    Had a wonderful stay at English Meadows. Owners were available and friendly and eager to help. They remodeled the entire place Jan-Mar 2011 and did a fantastic job! All details were considered to provide a warm and comfortable environment. Breakfast was also delicious and enjoyed the "family" table atmosphere where we got to meet some great people from across the US. Owners were great with convesation starters to break the ice. Inn is also a short walk to a variety of shops and spas and a short drive or bike ride to the beach. The grounds also had many places to enjoy a beautiful Maine afternoon, (in the meadows, on your own terrace (if you have that room) or their lovely comon patio.) LOVED our stay and will be sure to visit again and again!!

    My boyfriend and I stayed at the English Meadows Inn while in Kennebunkport, Maine for a wedding, and it was great! Bruce is so friendly and accommodating (for example, fitting in extra people for breakfast who were staying elsewhere, or bringing us a special outlet converter late at night so my boyfriend could plug in his laptop), and you can really tell he enjoys what he does. That's definitely nice. Breakfast was delicious -- a three-course breakfast every morning, usually made with ingredients from their very own garden! I'd never been to a bed and breakfast before this and always thought it'd be a weird after getting used to hotels, but I had a great experience and have definitely been turned on to exploring bed and breakfasts in other areas. But I'd definitely come back to English Meadows Inn if ever went back to Kennebunkport!
