Pros: A perfect stay, in a perfect location - pretty close to restaurants that the very friendly innkeeper Jim helped curate. The Inn at Carleton is a gem in Portland, a city that has much to offer. Sorry to say, we had only planned to stay one night - should have been there longer! The house where the Inn is located is a special place and everything is perfect, from the rooms, the comfortable bed and the cleaning standard to the breakfast which is served as a 2 course. Go visit and find out what its like to be totally pampered. Highly recommended!

Pros: Fantastic B and B in wonderful Portland. Great bedroom with all sorts of extras like Morrill Mansion soaps and shampoos, fridge with water, home made delicious cakes and endless teas and coffee. Amazing breakfast with lobster fried potatoes, eggs, great quality fruit, baked goods- all excellent quality. David is also really helpful with restaurant advice etc. A must stay place!

Pros: This was one of the nicest bed 'n' breakfasts in which we've stayed. Located in a beautifully restored Victorian mansion, every aspect was well-planned and very comfortable, from free parking and wi-fi to the mattress toppers. The Sunday brunch was outstanding, including lobster hashbrowns and raspberry custard. Its location was also convenient, not far from the wedding and reception we were attending. The staff was helpful and very pleasant. Highly recommended!

Pros: The B&B was very quaint, clean and comfortable. David was a fantastic host and his baked goods were delicious!

Pros: The room was wonderful and the beds were very comfortable. Every convenience was available to make us comfortable from an upstairs sitting room with home-cooked snacks to a fantastic breakfast. It was very close to all the places we wished to visit and the host was very helpful and friendly. Obviously, he cares deeply about his business and his guests because everything was done to ensure our stay was pleasant. The contrast between this establishment and other bed and breakfasts where I have have stayed was enormous in the best way possible.

Cons: Can't really fault this place at all. If there is one tiny criticism it's that it's at one end of the city and if you don't like walking then you'll struggle to get down to the old port, waterfront or the Portland observatory. There is no lift so you'll have to carry your luggage up at least one flight of stairs but I'm sure David, the proprietor, will lend a hand. As I say I cant really pick fault with it as we don't mind the walking.
