    Historic and charming

    Nicely situated at walking distance from the attractions of Boothbay Harbor, this inn has period style rooms, very warm and accommodating staff and a great restaurant with very pleasant ambiance. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated with local antiques and flavor.
