"The location is unmatched. Right on the bay, the views were spectacular.
The problem comes with the cleanliness and upkeep of the place. Our room was ready when we arrived by they forced us to wait until the dot of check-in time to access it. When we went inside our room, it was obvious the room had been sitting dormant for a while. Two wine glasses were sitting on the floor by a table with caked-on dried wine.
On walks around the property, it was obvious some amenity locations were in need of refurbishment but they weren't high-use places so it didn't seem like the staff cared.
Overall, you can't beat the location. At one time it was probably the crown jewel of Boothbay but they also appear to be resting on their laurels a bit. I would probably return, but with a bit lower expectations.
You're booking it for the views and location."
"Jersey, who checked us in, was an absolute hoot! Being in the hospitality industry myself, I really appreciated how warm and personable the experience was from the moment we arrived.
Our room was spotless, comfortable, and absolutely adorable. We instantly felt at home.
Jersey also helped us make dinner reservations that evening, and having a local recommendation made the experience even better. It's those thoughtful touches that really set this inn apart.
The entire B&B had the welcoming feel of staying with family. There were complimentary drinks and snacks available in the refrigerator whenever we wanted them, and the fresh pastries in the morning were such a treat. Sitting outside the inn with coffee, enjoying breakfast while watching the water, was the perfect way to start the day.
We loved every minute of our stay and wouldn't hesitate to return."
"This place was excellent! We decided to spend an extra night in Boothbay on a whim and stumbled upon Topside. We loved it so much that we'll absolutely be back.
Breakfast the next morning was such a treat. It felt luxurious without being pretentious—beautifully done, warm, and incredibly welcoming. It was the perfect way to end our stay, and we can't wait to return."
"This was a very last minute run away for the night for my husband and I and it was perfect in every way, location, was awesome just walking distance to all the shops. Would DEFINITELY stay there again"
"Beautiful views, clean room, quiet, good handicap access,
Bar staff were great.
But, limited hand-parking spaces.
Too bad the restaurant /bar isn’t open for breakfast.
Not enough parking."
