The Topside has everything going for it: Pretty rooms; a common area in the main house full of sunlight, books and games; gorgeous harbor views; great food, and friendly owners. What more do you need from a vacation spot?

We arrived early afternoon on Thursday for our stay through Saturday night. We were greeted by Brian and the welcome couldn't have been better. Our accommodations were more than expected and very comfortable and quiet the entire length of our stay. Brian and his partner and staff were very attentive and were more than happy to make recommendations for local... More

Our stay at the Topside Inn was heavenly. The inn and innkeepers-pure perfection. Beautiful inn, gardens, VIEW, location, food, comforts, decor... My husband and I offer the highest possible recommendation.

This B&B/Inn is really amazing. It is immaculately clean, comfortable, and wonderfully decorated. The breakfast was A++. There is a new type of cookie in the afternoon and each one is better than the last. My husband and I usually stay in Inns as we explore the Northeast and I am telling you this is probably the best place I... More

Ed and Brian do such a wonderful job. So much thought has been placed in every detail. We stayed in the main house and felt very welcomed.

Clean, beautifully decorated, great views, wonderful hosts, everything you need(especially afternoon cookies!). We will be... More

The inn has a beautiful view of the bay, an ample and well-tended garden, and very tastefully decorated rooms. Most importantly the two hosts were just wonderful:... More

The room was lovely, with a huge bathroom and lovely view out to the sea (and the Bounty replica ship, which was sadly lost at sea during Sandy) Brian and Ed were the perfect hosts - they just left you be, but...

We were in one of the side buildings which had a beautiful view of the water and a lovely deck (shared with other... More

This was our first trip to New England. We stayed at 3 bed and breakfast inns in different states with the Topside Inn being our last. My wife and I agree that we saved the best for last. Brian and Ed were very attentive and gracious hosts. They made us feel very welcome like we were family. The breakfast was... More
