From the moment we arrived through the old-fashioned gates, gardens blooming, we were indeed in a magical place. The photos on the website do not capture the spaciousness of the inn as you open the wide stained-glass front door off from the grand front porch complete with a relaxing hammock and rocking chairs. You must go to Tanglewood to truly believe the intriguing rooms, furnishings, and oft whimsical décor and art. We stayed in the York Harbor Suite. It was breathtaking and well over 500 square feet of a combined Victorian sitting area, a screened sunporch overlooking the gardens and gurgling fountains, a bedroom with a cozy fireplace, and cottage style bath. The handpainting on the floors and walls and furniture is so intricately wonderful, along with all of the antiques. And we so loved our bed bathed in the morning glow as we slept in the softest of sheets with feather pillows and down blankets. The ‘bountiful breakfast buffet’ varied each day with an assortment of gourmet offerings. The innkeepers made us feel so comfortable and ‘at home’ and showed us the other rooms in the inn. They all have their own special charm and features that make them unique. There is so much to do in the York Harbor area. We explored the forts in Kittery, the old seaport of Portsmouth, Stonewall Kitchens (you will not be able to decide which of the hundreds of samples are best). We were given all sorts of advice about the best scenic routes to go to Ogunquit (which we found crowded and somewhat commercial) and Kennebunkport, which are easy drives away. We also were sent to some excellent restaurants nearby the inn. Do not miss the Cliff Path which is accessed via a short five minute walk from the inn along the rocky ocean coast, which then leads to the Fisherman’s Walk along York River and the Wiggly Bridge. And of course, almost two miles of Long Sands Beach and the incredible Cape Neddick Lighthouse are just past the inn, which is situated in a beautiful residential area of old summer resort estates lined with canopies of oak trees. We truly were reluctant to return to the West Coast, but hope to return to Tanglewood Hall someday soon.

“Love the Tanglewood”

Inn at Tanglewood Hall

2/3 found this review helpful

Well, what can I say…another GREAT stay at Tanglewood!
My husband and I stayed a week in the Billiard Room, very nice, cozy and romantic. The private porch was so nice in the morning to have our coffee and make plans for the day. Bill & Bonnie are wonderful people, they helped my husband make my birthday so special with lots of surprises. Breakfast each morning on the porch was wonderful, I really miss the peacefulness. Would highly recommend the Tanglewood, and the Billiard Room.

“Would Highly Recommend the Billiard Room”

Inn at Tanglewood Hall

17 Jul 2005
1/1 found this review helpful

I have stayed at this inn on multiple occasions and experienced virtually all of the rooms. The Billiard Room is my favorite, with it's cozy decor, first floor entrance and private porch area. It's the perfect place to spend a relaxing Southern Maine weekend reading a good book. Hosts Bill and Bonnie are attentive and friendly, but know how to stay out of your hair so you can relax. The gardens are beautiful and I made sure to take walks to the nearby beach and harbor to see the sights. York Harbor gives you the option of staying away from the throngs of crowds in downtown York, which makes the location of this inn stellar. I would highly recommend!!!

A simply fantastic place to stay. The innkeepers are friendly, the area is beautiful, and the house is too spectacular for words - you must see it to believe it.

We loved it!!!

“5 Stars for Elegance & Hospitality!”

Inn at Tanglewood Hall

6 Jul 2005
1/1 found this review helpful

For many years I've had to travel for business and as a result I've stayed at many 4 & 5 star hotels for Industry Conferences. It's surprising how many of these so-called "star" hotels "miss the boat". It's not just having all the creature comforts that make a stay memorable...it's the hospitality too. They could take lessons from Tanglewood Hall.

With the above said, Bonnie & Bill Alstrom made my boyfriend and I feel very welcome in their home while repecting our personal space as well. When we asked them for recommendations they hit home runs ie: Stageneck for dinner! How refreshing to deal with people that know the area and like what they do. I can't tell you how many times I've asked a concierge at a 5 star hotel to recommend a good restaurant ...only to be sent to something chichi or some other "high-end chain" that didn't deliver on flavor or sevice.

In addition to having the Alstroms as a resource, the accomodations were something to write home about too. We stayed in the Billiard Room which was beautifully appointed and the comfort of the feather bed topped it off.

We can't wait to try Tanglewood in the Fall.
