Spinneys Guesthouse & Beach Cottages draws praise for its beachfront setting with peaceful walks, friendly staff, and a well-liked on-site restaurant, while its remote location and seasonal hours mean guests should plan ahead for meals and supplies.
Rooms range from updated and comfortable to more dated spaces in a historic house, with standout views but occasional noise, limited privacy, and stairs that can be challenging. Most guests find accommodations clean, though a few mention inconsistent housekeeping or poorly cleaned kitchens. Expect a simple, scenic, beachside stay best suited to travelers seeking quiet and nature.

Fabulous beach, river, ocean view; only steps away. Very good restaurant also. We watched the lobster being unloaded and a short time later enjoyed them dipped in butter. Would highly recommend.

We had nice views of the bay . The room was clean and mostly updated. Nice staff though we didn’t see them much. It’s a great spot right on a beach you could walk for miles. Very secluded which we liked but not many restaurant choices for miles. They were on end of season schedule so the restaurant was only open on weekends.id go again!!

The location doesn’t get any better, right on the beach! Chris and his staff made us feel right at home. The rooms have all been updated with bathrooms, AC, and coffee outside in the hall. Great full service restaurant with an extensive food and bar menu. Morning walks on the beach and sunsets were spectacular. Lots of character in a special little corner of Maine!

Great place! - we traveled for business, and it was only me staying overnight - not a planned vacation, just a last-minute arrangement - but so surprised at the beauty of the surroundings; the endless beach, the clear ocean so pristine and quiet - and the inn staff was so very pleasant - room was impeccably clean, quiet, just the birds - there is a restaurant right adjacent with fresh sea food, I did not have the time to check it out but it looked lively (next time) over all it was a surprised finding! Beautiful place!

The cottage had two bedrooms. It was comfortable and clean. The restaurant next door was very good, friendly and welcoming. There was also a little store and ice cream counter connected to the restaurant.

We had very nice views and the room itself was very clean. The restaurant was not open during our stay, which we were not aware of. That was a bit of a problem because this property is so far from any other restaurants.

The location was perfect. Loved the fact that we could cook there. It was large and roomy. Beds comfortable. However the kitchen area was filthy. Like it had not been cleaned. I would go back again though. It was the end of the season and probably not much help left.

Spinneys was not at all what we expected. It was a very old building, really quite run down. The room was small and obliviously, the closet had been converted to a shower, so no place to hang up clothing and no one of extra proportions would fit in the shower. The room was not "dirty" per se, just not very clean and lots of stairs! I was recovering from a serious knee injury so the stairs were a deal breaker. We had paid for two nights and only stayed one. We asked for a refund, but were ignored even after having stated that the stairs were a real problem. Too bad it was so far into the boondocks, we wouldn't have even stayed one night after hiking up all the stairs and seeing the room. The bed was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. The sheets appeared to be clean a freshly changed.

Our stay at Spinney's Guest House was enjoyable. We stayed in the Admiral Suite. The room was your everyday Maine decor with some modern touches. Bed is very comfortable! Kitchen is beautiful, fully stocked with utensils and there is a huge closet off the bedroom. Privacy in the room, minimal. Office is directly below the suite and only a staircase and door seperate the suite from the office. You hear all visitors check in and all incoming calls ringing in the office. Views are STUNNING during dawn and dusk! We stayed Memorial Day weekend and the traffic around the location from 11am to 4pm is VERY heavy. If you go out during these hours, you will lose your parking on the property where your room is. The closeness of the beach and Fort Popham is very convenient and beautiful..footsteps from our room. Seeing Harbor Seals in the water of the area was an added pleasure. Area is quiet at night. Staff did not ask us once, if we needed new linen's/towels, trash bags, nor did they leave any for our room during our stay of 4 nights. Overall, worth the visit and recommended.

This was a great spot right on the beach. It’s a home built in the 1800’s. The restaraunt next door is delicious. There is a small refrigerator in the room but no blow dryer. The only downside is that It is very out of the way with no stores near by and no place to get breakfast. We came on a Saturday and on Sunday morning there was no coffee available in the hallway. Not sure if they just forgot to refill the coffee station or if you’re just on your own. Otherwise we just loved the spot.

It's an old house that is converted into rooms. My room was right at the top of the stairs and you could hear EVERYTHING! People walking up the stairs, conversations, people in the next room. I didn't stay due to this. Tried to get some of my money back however the owner didn't want to make anything better. Wouldn't recommend unless you don't care about the noise

We don’t need many comforts for an overnight stay but for almost $300 for a room with a shared bathroom and only Keurig type coffee facility ( and no cups available when we wanted coffee), it was underwhelming. Also, folks should know there is nowhere near to get coffee or breakfast. The location of the inn is top notch and we had a nice beach walk before departing.

Too bad it was so far into the boondocks, we wouldn't have even stayed one night after hiking up all the stairs and seeing the room. The bed was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. The sheets appeared to be clean a freshly changed.

The location doesn’t get any better, right on the beach! Chris and his staff made us feel right at home. The rooms have all been updated with bathrooms, AC, and coffee outside in the hall. Great full service restaurant with an extensive food and bar menu. Morning walks on the beach and sunsets were spectacular. Lots of character in a special little corner of Maine!

It's an old house that is converted into rooms. My room was right at the top of the stairs and you could hear EVERYTHING! People walking up the stairs, conversations, people in the next room. I didn't stay due to this. Tried to get some of my money back however the owner didn't want to make anything better. Wouldn't recommend unless you don't care about the noise

Location
Beachfront setting with immediate access to long walks and Fort Popham is widely praised, and the area is quiet and scenic. It is remote with few nearby restaurants or stores, and peak-time traffic and parking can be challenging.

Our stay at Spinney's Guest House was enjoyable. We stayed in the Admiral Suite. The room was your everyday Maine decor with some modern touches. Bed is very comfortable! Kitchen is beautiful, fully stocked with utensils and there is a huge closet off the bedroom. Privacy in the room, minimal. Office is directly below the suite and only a staircase and door seperate the suite from the office. You hear all visitors check in and all incoming calls ringing in the office. Views are STUNNING during dawn and dusk! We stayed Memorial Day weekend and the traffic around the location from 11am to 4pm is VERY heavy. If you go out during these hours, you will lose your parking on the property where your room is. The closeness of the beach and Fort Popham is very convenient and beautiful..footsteps from our room. Seeing Harbor Seals in the water of the area was an added pleasure. Area is quiet at night. Staff did not ask us once, if we needed new linen's/towels, trash bags, nor did they leave any for our room during our stay of 4 nights. Overall, worth the visit and recommended.

This was a great spot right on the beach. It’s a home built in the 1800’s. The restaraunt next door is delicious. There is a small refrigerator in the room but no blow dryer. The only downside is that It is very out of the way with no stores near by and no place to get breakfast. We came on a Saturday and on Sunday morning there was no coffee available in the hallway. Not sure if they just forgot to refill the coffee station or if you’re just on your own. Otherwise we just loved the spot.

Fabulous beach, river, ocean view; only steps away. Very good restaurant also. We watched the lobster being unloaded and a short time later enjoyed them dipped in butter. Would highly recommend.

We had nice views of the bay . The room was clean and mostly updated. Nice staff though we didn’t see them much. It’s a great spot right on a beach you could walk for miles. Very secluded which we liked but not many restaurant choices for miles. They were on end of season schedule so the restaurant was only open on weekends.id go again!!

Dining
The adjacent restaurant receives strong praise for tasty food and seafood. Off-season closures and limited alternatives nearby—plus a lack of breakfast options—mean meal planning is advisable.

The cottage had two bedrooms. It was comfortable and clean. The restaurant next door was very good, friendly and welcoming. There was also a little store and ice cream counter connected to the restaurant.

We had very nice views and the room itself was very clean. The restaurant was not open during our stay, which we were not aware of. That was a bit of a problem because this property is so far from any other restaurants.

Loved the view from the room! We could watch the tide come in and out and could view the fort. The dining was delicious. The manager was very accommodating with our late arrival. I enjoyed that it was quiet and one could take a walk.

We don’t need many comforts for an overnight stay but for almost $300 for a room with a shared bathroom and only Keurig type coffee facility ( and no cups available when we wanted coffee), it was underwhelming. Also, folks should know there is nowhere near to get coffee or breakfast. The location of the inn is top notch and we had a nice beach walk before departing.

This was an amazing little place I stayed with my grown children. It was spacious yet homey. Although it was a little out of town, the kitchen was a great amenity. Right by the water, we were able to see the seals. I wish we could have moved in forever.

Such an awesome cabin, very spacious, clean, and close to the beach. Private, easy to get to the beach. Super comfortable beds, TV has Netflix, Prime and Roku. The nostalgia was there, but with all the comforts of today. We can’t wait to come back!! Saw so many seals, birds, and historic Fort Popham. Highly recommend
