4.0 out of 5Coveside stay in October
October 17, 2012
Set in a super location with its own jetty in a quiet cove. Perfect for a relaxing holiday. TV located in building nearby along with gym equipment. As with anywhere on this coast, some motoring needed to get around due to ragged coastline. Owners quite willing for evening meal to be brought in and eaten on premises allowing the use of their kitchen.

A spectacular destination- beautiful spot, gorgeous immaculate rooms and wonderful food. The hosts are delightful.
4.2 out of 5My first Visit to a B & B
October 03, 2012
A great place with great views. Nice big room with fireplace and a very big bathroom. My only problem was that there wasn't a TV in the room. I was not crazy about walking in the rain to an out building to watch a TV. It rained all the time I was there so a TV in the room would have been nice to catch up on the news and sprorts world. All in all this is an excellent B & B.

September 24, 2012
Our fourth visit to Coveside, so obviously, we love it there. It's really the whole package, the setting is extrordinary, the rooms are so pleasant are comfortable. All are a little different and all have great views. Sunrise over the cove viewed from a warm comfy bed is not to be missed. Carolyn and Tom's breakfasts are also really a cut above. Already looking forward to next time.

This is a lovely place to stay! There aren't many good restaurants nearby, unless you want to drive to Bath, but the lodgings were great!

Our stay at Coveside was amazing! We loved the view from our room and the breakfasts were so yummy. We would definitely stay there again!
5 out of 5Outstanding B&B at an excellent location
September 17, 2012
We did not plan our visit in advance - searching on visitmaine.com we found this B&B, liked the description of it and saw that one of the rooms is available. So we made a reservation immediately and two days later were there. Everything was great - the room, friendly owners, a picturesque location and many tourist attractions within a short driving distance. This time we stayed at Coveside for just three days, but we are sure we'll go there again next year for a longer period. Alex and Natalia, Montreal.
4.8 out of 5The best B&B

Best B&B room we have stayed in. Spectacular view, great food and friendly service. Blueberry muffins to die for.
