Just back from 3 nights at The Blue Heron. Great place to stay! Laura and Phil are great innkeepers. The Inn is so clean, so spacious, so bright, so nice! I won't repeat what the other posters stated. It's all true!

Stay here and you won't be disappointed.

Believe all the great reviews. This place is charming! The location is excellent, the views are beautiful, the rooms are bright, large and comfortable, the food was delicious and Phil and Laura are two of the nicest people you will ever meet! You will not be disappointed at The Blue Heron!

Before staying in Boothbay Harbour I researched several hotels/bed and breakfasts before eventually booking the Blue Heron because of its very positive reviews, position on the waterfront and the attractiveness of the Inn.

Being cynical I couldn't imagine that such excellent reviews were true. BUT was I wrong, everything said was absolutely correct and we had a very good three days staying here. We occupied a two bed suite on the top floor for two nights and the room next door for one night. The accommodation in the two rooms was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The deck, with table and chairs was shared but had enough space to feel totally separate from our neighbours who were delightful. The back garden goes down to the water's edge and has a swing seat and several chairs, plus a jetty for the kayaks. The front of the house was stunning, the balconies full of hanging baskets and the garden stuffed with colourful flowers and shrubs. I saw several passerbys taking photos.

The breakfasts were very, very good, plentiful and tasty (especially the honey ham). We enjoyed the change from an English breakfast.

Both Laura and Phil were relaxed and made us feel very welcome. You won't need to use a Tourist Office as Phil is a mine of information and obviously enjoyed givingideas of routes, car drives , gardens and buildings to visit. His recommendations for dinner were spot on and we enjoyed two lobster meals and the best Italian dinner we have ever eaten in the US in many years.

This is a great place to stay and we wholehearted recommend it. We wish Laura and Phil continuing success.

My husband and I stayed 4 nights at the Blue Heron Seaside Inn at Boothbay Harbor in July 2007. It was wonderful! Our room was spacious, private and very clean. We enjoyed having the free internet connection. I had done a lot of research on the internet about Boothbay before picking the Blue Heron and I am so glad we did!

Our host, Phil, was wonderful. His breakfasts were fabulous, and every recommendation he gave us of stuff to do and other places to eat were just perfect. It was nice in the mornings to compare notes with other guests too of good things to do, see and eat.

It was nice that it was a comfortable bed and breakfast with all of the amenities of a hotel.We liked that there was a private entrance. Nobody bothered us during our stay, but were always around if we needed anything.

The location was perfect. We were able to leave our car and walk to everything in Boothbay Harbor. It was very nice and relaxing. Highly recommend the coffee bar two doors down too, and their chocolate fondue!

Definitely check out the Blue Heron Seaside Inn if you go to Boothbay Harbor!
