Guests appreciate the hilltop setting with lots of outdoor seating and a short, easy walk to town. Rooms are stylish and comfortable; a couple of reviews mention noise from upstairs neighbors. Occasional maintenance hiccups and higher prices are noted, but overall feedback is very positive, so expect a polished, scenic, service-focused stay.

We stayed three nights on our 8 days in Maine and they were by far the best three nights and mornings of our vacation. The rooms are immaculate, with comfortable beds (so great I bought the sheets), beautiful views, and everything you could need. You arrive to a welcome drink that was simply delicious, and a full bar that is paired with appetizers at 4:30 pm each day. Breakfasts are from the Topside Inn Cookbook, which I obviously now needed, bc each day exceeded our expectations. There are fresh cookies every day available to guests plus a fully stocked seltzer, juice, water, soda fridge, coffee and tea all day. Both Rebecca and Mary were magnificent and such a pleasure. We loved this place so much we are sending our parents to experience this 5 star inn. Could not have loved a place more.

My husband and I most wonderful experience at Topside Inn, a true gem in Coastal Maine. From the moment we arrived, we were completely impressed. The location is unbelievable, purchased on a hill overlooking Boothbay Harbor. The Inn itself is beautifully designed, elegant yet relaxed with an effortless coastal charm. What made our stay truly exceptional was the hospitality. The staff went above and beyond at every turn. They were welcoming and attentive. And the little touches made all the difference. Complimentary snacks and beverages were always available. The house baked cookies were amazing, and the included breakfast was nothing short of outstanding. Craig and Alicia Plummer

I can’t say enough wonderful things about it, starting with our welcome greeting from the lovely Rebekah, welcome cocktail, view of the harbor, 3 minute walk to town, lovely rooms, happy hour snacks, easy to meet neighbors….. I will be making many trips back to Boothbay just to stay here again!!!

Topside Inn had an amazing view of the harbor while sitting in the Adirondack chairs. The bar set up was terrific with their free welcome drink. Food service was excellent and the blankets outside on the balcony was a great touch. Would come back for an extended stay. Highly recommended.

This hotel was a great joy. The room was clean and bright with windows and doors and balcony to look over flower beds and chickens to the harbor beyond. Drinks and snacks were readily available and delicious. The staff were warm and helpful, breakfast excellent, seating areas and open air feel relaxing and inviting. My only regret was that I had to go home!

The property is beautiful, the rooms very clean and comfortable. The sheets are amazing! The only complaint would be there is no view from the 2 separate buildings although they are stated to have bay views. There are large trees blocking any view at all. On the plus side the porch on the main inn is lovely with views and the grounds are beautiful with mature florals everywhere. The breakfast was delicious.

What a wonderful property and hospitality. Beautiful views, great drinks and food. A couple of minor issues, the refrigerator was leaking leaving the floor wet in front of it. The shower drain didn’t really drain and the toilet was clogged… but looking past all that we definitely want to come back for a longer stay. It’s so serene and beautiful there!

Lovely location, very nice main building, with bar and breakfast area. Breakfast was excellent. Buildings with rooms need outside maintenance, peeling paint and trim. Bed was much too soft for us, would be nice to have options. Room nice but small and could hear neighbors upstairs and next door. Overall, price too high for the package.

This is a great property with friendly, attentive staff. The walk downhill to town and the harbor is short and the view from our room was awesome! Breakfast was delicious and included multiple choices. The only caveat would be for those with limited mobility because there is no elevator to reach the rooms upstairs. For those people I would suggest ground floor.

We loved the location, very pretty main house, great staff & great breakfast. Was requested to move from main house to unattached building with outside balcony, which was sold as an upgrade & sounded good but ended up being very noisy due to units above. Side wall insulation seemed to work well but every step above us was clearly heard. We did enjoy the outdoor balcony but wouldn’t stay on bottom floor of the separate buildings again. Cant say how rooms inside main house would have been.

The Topside Inn was the perfect place for our stay in Boothbay Harbor. The Carraige House room was very nice and the bed and bedding was amazing! The views of the harbor are spectacular, especially in the quiet of the early morning. However, the star of the show was the incredible breakfast we had each morning! I highly recommend this Inn to anyone traveling to the Boothbay region.

This is a great property with friendly, attentive staff. The walk downhill to town and the harbor is short and the view from our room was awesome! Breakfast was delicious and included multiple choices. The only caveat would be for those with limited mobility because there is no elevator to reach the rooms upstairs. For those people I would suggest ground floor.

This is the best property we have stayed at in a long time. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. Mary and the rest of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Included breakfast was delicious. We are already planning a longer return trip and have been telling our friends all about this wonderful property.

The Topside Inn was the perfect place for our stay in Boothbay Harbor. The Carraige House room was very nice and the bed and bedding was amazing! The views of the harbor are spectacular, especially in the quiet of the early morning. However, the star of the show was the incredible breakfast we had each morning! I highly recommend this Inn to anyone traveling to the Boothbay region.
