    Wonderful March Stay

    March 25, 2013

    We had a lovely two night stay at Newcastle Inn. We were warmly greeted by Julie and shown all of the inns amenities. Our room was on the third floor in the back of the inn. It was lovely, private, cozy and VERY clean. The breakfast both mornings was spot on delicious and a great way to start our day. We would highly recommend to all!

    Wonderful stay!

    February 13, 2013

    Ur room was well appointed, and had all the conviences of home. The bed was heavenly, the bathroom was updated, and the outdoor view serene. Julie, the innkeeper was extremely helpful. Our breakfast on both mornings was delicious. The inn is convienently located near the town of Damariscotta, where one can find cute shops and great food for lunch and dinner. It's a short drive to Pemaquid Point and Boothbay. We look forward to our next stay.

    Pleasant and comfortable

    July 11, 2012

    We were there for our sons wedding, along with other family members. Julie made us feel welcome, was helpful in suggesting dinner options and the like, and served up a delicious breakfast. She also let us know when she found a forgotten clothes item, and sent it along. The rooms are all decorated very nicely, lots of space in the inn to gather with our family members. A great experience overall.

    A quick and quiet idyllic getaway

    May 14, 2012

    We chose to get away at the last minute and didn't go far from home, yet we relaxed immediately at this gracious inn in a glorious location. It was too chilly to dine on the deck, but the views were wonderful. Our room was comfortable and well appointed, we took the chill off the spring night with the romantic gas fireplace.. The common areas are cozy and welcoming as well.

    Best Maine Experience yet!

    September 19, 2010

    We were thrilled to find this quintessential New England gem in Newcastle. It made our stay for a family wedding so much more special. We'd stay again any time we return to Maine. The owner spoiled us royally and the food was absolutely superb. We can't wait to return!
