The problem we had with our stay at Inn Britannia was that it was too short! It was the first time for our daughter (3 yo) to stay at a B&B, and we had no idea whether she would enjoy it, it turned out she had a great time, and so did we. We stayed in the "housekeeping" apartment, which we highly recommend for small families - there is plenty of space to stretch out, and for our daughter to run around while we were inside; you also get a lot of privacy, everything you need is in the apartment - stove, refrigerator, books, games, TV, Wi-Fi ....if you decide to stay in; we actually spent a lot of time just relaxing in the garden, which was beautiful. We would lay in the hammock, and our daughter would be just fascinated watching the chickens that the innkeepers Susan and Karen have (fresh eggs for breakfast!), Karen even let her hold an egg that was still warm, and she dropped it....Although breakfasts were not included for apartment guests, once we heard about the dishes made with fresh eggs, we actually paid to have breakfast in the dining room on two mornings, and they were so good - those eggs tasted so much better than the ones from stores, and those freshly baked muffins......With our daughter being so young, we didn't really try to go everywhere and see everything on this trip, and we felt there was so much more that we hadn't explored in Maine - if we get to go back, I know where we'll be staying.

We stayed at Inn Britannia for a long weekend last month, ever since we got back I've been thinking: when can we go again? We came upon Inn Britannia while "googling" for a place to stay for our trip, and were intrigued by its English theme. The innkeeper (Caren) was very friendly on the phone, and explained the features of each room for us in great detail - we made the reservation right away and we were not disappointed! Caren and Susan made everything so wonderful for us - our room was clean, cozy and "very English", breakfasts were simply delicious, even decadent - for someone like me who normally skips breakfast, the garden was in full bloom and just beautiful - I was happy to just stay at the inn and relax. On the days we decided to explore the area, they gave us several nice suggestions on what to do and what to see, along with those moist cookies which we enjoyed on our way to Acadia National Park. I think next year we'll be back to see the fall colors.....

Our stay at the Inn Britannia was definitely one of the high points of my daughter's wedding weekend. The accommodations are superior--we had everything we needed and more. The innkeepers were so warm and welcoming; we felt very much at home and "among friends". They were consistently available to provide great information and help to negotiate our plans and schedule for the weekend. They even helped us to pull off an anniversary surprise for our friends! Our rooms were lovely and comfortable--the common areas cosy and inviting. . . and we can't say enough about the incredible breakfast that they served each morning. The presentation was perfect--the food delicious! My fifteen year old daughter was thrilled to have internet access--she was able to stay in touch with all of her friends and keep them current on all of her activities! The grounds and gardens were beautiful and the perfect place for an afternoon of reading and relaxing--if only we had had time to enjoy it! All in all, we give the Inn Britannia our highest recommendation!

We found this Inn through friends we travel with. The Inn was beautiful, and the owners were wonderful. They made us feel like family. The rooms were spacious and very cozy. They made sure that any special needs you may have were taken care of. The breakfast was wonderful. I would highly recommend to any one traveling in this area to stay at Inn Britannia in Searport Maine.

Why cross the pond to the UK and suffer the financial consequences of the devaluation of the dollar when you can so much more easily travel to Searsport, Maine to Inn Birtannia and enjoy a similar experience for pennies on the dollar?

The Inn Britannia is phenomenal. The innkeepers are devoted to ensuring that each guest is enormously comfortable. The gourmet breakfasts are fabulous, and the rooms are sumptuous. I have never, ever had such a wonderful experience before at a B&B anywhere in the United States. The only thing missing are the hourly chimes of Big Ben, and those I could do without!
