Guests frequently highlight the homemade breakfasts, especially the blueberry muffins. Rooms are described as comfortable and cozy, with charming decor; a few note smaller spaces in some accommodations. There are isolated remarks about bathroom layout or a bed preference, but no consistent complaints. Expect a relaxed, classic B&B experience.

Everything was clean and in working order. Not only the house, but the grounds are meticulously cared for. The owners are kind, helpful, knowledgeable about the area - available, but not too much. The one (very) small thing I would have appreciated is a sink in the same room as the toilet and shower.

Would highly recommend!!! (: Bittersweet B&B,Cape Neddick,ME My youngest granddaughter Rebecka booked a room for us at this lovely B&B for 2 nights. The accommodations were beyond my expectations since I had never been to a B&B before. Our hosts were such wonderful people and made us feel so welcome in their beautiful home. The grounds and gardens were beautiful,you could tell they loved their home and outside areas. We were provided with a tasty breakfast each morning of fresh blueberry muffins, toast or English muffins, scrambled eggs,bacon,coffee,tea, juice and more It was to die for!! If I could I would rate this as 10 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Victor and Ray for your hospitality. Gail Grace…. Nana to Rebecka Grace 07/06/2024-07/08/2024

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Bittersweet Bed & Breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Check-in was easy and our room was excellent! We enjoyed our breakfast outside on the covered porch, so relaxing! Our hosts were gracious, professional and welcoming, offering good suggestions for dinner in nearby restaurants and friendly conversation. The location of the B&B was excellent, just south of Ogunquit and just north of York. The outlet shopping at Kittery was a short drive away. We highly recommend a stay here, without question!

This property was just perfect. It's a lovely B&B, with the sweetest hosts, Victor and Ray. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, they were there to make our stay perfect. We loved sitting on the porch having our coffee and/or cocktails. Great little lobster roll joint right across the street. The breakfast they made was wonderful, especially the blueberry muffins. Would highly recommend and will certain stay here again if/when we return to this area. Convenient to all surrounding areas. Thank you Bittersweet!

Victor and Ray have a spotless, beautiful place. The grounds are kept up nicely! The room was very comfortable - had both a ceiling fan and air conditioner. The breakfast was very good with coffee or tea, juice, homemade muffins every morning, fruit, yogurt, eggs, and bacon - plenty to get you going in the morning! Our stay was fantastic!

Ray and Victor are perfect hosts. Everything is very clean and they take extra care to ensure their guests are taken care of. The best blueberry muffins were made every day...so delicious! I loved my room and private bathroom and the furnishings were very charming. All of my friends stayed at a hotel about four miles away and I am so happy I chose this quiet and peaceful B&B. It was walking distance to York Village and a little local market across the street. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

This was our first experience at a B&B and it did not disappoint! Victor and Ray were great hosts and you can tell they love what they do. Location is amazing, convenient and walkable. Highly recommend and will stay again.

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Bittersweet Bed & Breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Check-in was easy and our room was excellent! We enjoyed our breakfast outside on the covered porch, so relaxing! Our hosts were gracious, professional and welcoming, offering good suggestions for dinner in nearby restaurants and friendly conversation. The location of the B&B was excellent, just south of Ogunquit and just north of York. The outlet shopping at Kittery was a short drive away. We highly recommend a stay here, without question!

Ray and Victor are perfect hosts. Everything is very clean and they take extra care to ensure their guests are taken care of. The best blueberry muffins were made every day...so delicious! I loved my room and private bathroom and the furnishings were very charming. All of my friends stayed at a hotel about four miles away and I am so happy I chose this quiet and peaceful B&B. It was walking distance to York Village and a little local market across the street. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Victor and Ray are very welcoming and give excellent suggestions for restaurants in the area. The inn is beautifully kept. Breakfast every morning was a perfect start to the day. Will definitely return.

Victor and Ray have a spotless, beautiful place. The grounds are kept up nicely! The room was very comfortable - had both a ceiling fan and air conditioner. The breakfast was very good with coffee or tea, juice, homemade muffins every morning, fruit, yogurt, eggs, and bacon - plenty to get you going in the morning! Our stay was fantastic!

The owners of this sweet BnB are helpful, kind, and attentive. Bittersweet offers a lovely homemade breakfast and easy walk into town and the beach. Find yourself a comfy seat indoors, out on the lawn, or in a rocking chair on the porch. Welcome to the good life in coastal Maine.

This was the perfect place for my surprise weekend getaway for my husband’s 60th birthday. Victor and Ray were welcoming, accommodating, and friendly. We enjoyed our delicious breakfast (we now know why everyone raves about those muffins!) on the covered porch. It was an easy and quick walk to the beach and town center. We had a nice, quiet, relaxing time.
