    This was our first time at a Bed and Breakfast. My husband and I decided it would be a great adventure for our one year wedding anniversay. This bed and breakfast far exceeded our expectations. It was a slice of quiet heaven in Maine. The view of the sunrise every morning from our bedroom was a wonderful way to start the day. The hosts were wonderful and the breakfasts top notch. Our only concern is that the next time we book a room at a bed and breakfast we might be let down, since our first experience was quite perfect.

    One of the finest establishments we have experienced. Tom and Carolyn make you feel like part of the family. Tom's engaging conversation and Carolyn's incredible breakfasts are the bonuses. The star attraction is the setting on this beautiful, picture perfect cove. This is a must stay for anyone vacationing in the 5 islands area.

    We truly enjoyed our stay at Coveside B&B. Tom and Carolyn were very friendly and hospitable. The rooms were clean, cozy and quite comfortable. Loved the sunrise over the cove, homemade cookies and tea by the fireplace in the evening and the breakfasts were phenomenal . . . can't go wrong with waffles and homemade blueberry syrup . . . YUM! So, what was missing . . . hmmm . . . not a thing!

    Even better second time around

    This was our second stay at Coveside. The addition of the barn with the TV made it even better - we could watch the Red Sox, even if they did loose! From the moment we arrived we felt so at home and the peace and quiet is terrific. This was our last stop on this trip over and it set us up for travelling home to London. Rest assured we will be back!

    Coveside was the highlight of our trip.

    Spent five nights in B&Bs in New England. Coveside was, by far, the best.
