    This was not our first visit but it was one of the nicest. The only way it could have been better is if the resturaunt was still open but it was quite late in the season. Breakfast seemed to be better than usual even though it has always been good. We'll be back!

    What a fabulous place to spend a crazy Saturday night!! The early snowstorm was quite impressive, but being at the Dockside was just the best way to spend what would have been an otherwise miserable weekend in central MA without power! Being minutes away from the York harbor, I have awesome pictures of crashing surf!! Waves over 12 feet! I am delighted to be able to say that I was at the dockside during that weather event!! WOW!

    We've stayed here several times. The property is beautiful and a walk around it just soothes your soul. Our room, this time, as always, was bright and clean. My only complaint would be that it could use a new mattress. We did not eat at the restaurant, because we usually roam around the coast, from Kittery to Freeport. We keep coming back because the value is very good and we can always count on restful and calming vacation.


    Absolutely beautiful!

    We regretted we had only two nights to stay. Our queen room with fireplace and deck was perfect - the view couldn't have been better. All of the staff was gracious, breakfast was lovely, coffee was always available and the room was spotless. I would move in if I could!
