Muy bien! Casi nada que decir!
Habitación muy agradable con sólo un problema : el hecho que las cortinas estaban muy finas... y entonces el sol nos despertaba muy temprano....
Sino el restaurante y el servicio fueron excelentes.

I stayed in room 7 at The Pentagoet for 4 nights in mid-October. Room 7 is the BEST! The bed is so comfortable and the view is outstanding! In my hubris, I went to bed with the blinds open and woke up to the most AMAZING sunrise over the ocean, however, as it rose higher it became blinding.. but it was worth it.

The room got cool at night and I LOVED it. I think it helped me sleep so cozy. I didn't notice a thermometer so I'm not sure if there's a way to change the temperature in the room (it has an old steam radiator). There is a heat fan in the bathroom that I appreciated when I took my shower, it really warmed the bathroom up.

The inn itself is really lovely. The food at the restaurant was fantastic. Matt, one of the owners, was so friendly and helpful. The art and decor was beautiful and fitting for the historic hotel. I appreciated the convivial nature of the pub before dinner. I met and conversed with several lovely individuals both locals and guests.

Stayed here with friends for a girls trip. Charming place to stay. Slept like a baby on a very comfortable bed. I enjoyed having coffee ready for us every morning out in the hallway. Room 3 is a great room and the whole B&B is clean. The breakfast was a highlight, fresh delicious food. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was wonderful. Make sure and order the short ribs. Matt and George made everyone feel like this was there home. I can't recommend this place enough and will definitely return!

Pentagoet Inn|Have you ever wished you could go back in time? It was our privilege to spend several days at this unique and beautiful Inn. The antique furnishings and wall hangings brought history to life making us wonder in which room, perhaps, some of those famous Americans (Adams, Madison, Hamilton) rested their heads. We slept really well. Our hosts and staff, not to be forgotten, were warm and gracious and treated everyone like family. In addition, the food and preparation were exceptional and brought happiness to our heart and tummy. Castine itself is a lovely little town with scenic views in every direction and a must see. We definitely suggest you visit. Thanks from your Seattle friends!

Returning to Castine for the first time since the sale of our family home, I was prepared for a somewhat bittersweet experience. But our stay at The Pentagoet erased all that, it was both a comfort and an inspiration. The innkeepers (just since 2022!) have revived a true historic seaside hotel, (think EM Forster meets EB White), while authentically rooting themselves and their establishment in the community as family. It is quite a thing. The wraparound porch and return of the original porch staircase to the street is an unmistakable hallmark of welcome and hospitality. The art and interior design, much of which is bespoke, handmade, and custom, is delightful. The hotel staff (owners, manager, cooks, and servers) were warm, lovely to chat with, and genuine. It was also obvious the sense of family extends to everyone. Dinner was outstanding, the lobster pot pie which I suspected would be a one-bite-and-that's-enough sort of thing, managed to be light, subtly spicy, and was served with a tangle of tartly dressed local mustard greens. The smoked trout pate with preserved lemon was standout, and I hope the crab cakes never leave the menu. The room we stayed in had wonderful character, but never sacrificed comfort. My only hesitation now is to be so honest in my review that I jeapordize our ability to think of The Pentagoet as our little secret. This is the kind of hotel that should be (at least) an annual pilgramage on everyone's list.

This review is waaaay overdue, but this place is so special and deserves every star I can give it and more.

My sister, cousin, and I stayed at the Pentagoet Inn in June and boy was it memorable, in the best possible way. We absolutely fell in love with Matt and George; it's damn near impossible not to! They carry such pride for the Inn and they should, because it's a precious jewel.

I cannot understate how perfect the stay was. The beds, the food, the decor, the view, obviously Matt and George...everything was just...correct. The featured while we were there contained lilac straight from their garden and it was SO GOOD. They could've wheeled in a keg with that drink and I would've kicked it. The dessert was a chocolate tart and I can't believe I managed to get a picture of it before we inhaled it. They allowed us to use a table in the dining room to play cards, talked with us like we've been friends forever, and even brought us champagne while we played...I mean, seriously.

No offense to any other reviewers who complained about the stairs--and I'll try not to be rude--but, what did you expect? It's a 3 floor building, are they supposed to magic you upstairs?
I wish I could write a review that would do them justice, but that's a fool's errand.

Thank you, Matt and George, for sharing your beloved gem and we can't wait to come back! XOXOXO

We stayed at the Inn for our first anniversary and were delighted with the attention we received as a newly married couple. The owners were warm and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious, being homemade every morning. We stayed for dinner, while listening to a jazz trio. Our meal was delicious and we were served a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. We highly recommend this Inn with its classic old world charm.

Amazing service from the start, as we were greeted by the owners and shown around. Comfortable and cozy accommodations with an awesome view overlooking the docks and river. Great coffee service and breakfast each morning to fuel up for adventuring nearby. Truly delightful dinner in the Mister's Pub (the shrimp scampi was easily one of the best I've ever had). Lovely experience all around. Will definitely be returning again soon!!!
