Don't be mistaken by first impressions as you drive up to this property. I'd like to call it a diamond in the rough. The host/owner, Bob will admit the property needs substantial renovations to the exterior but don't be misled. The property has it's charm and the location cannot be beat for the price. Park your car and forget it. Everything is within easy walking distance. This is our second time for this property and will definitely try to stay again next year.

Close to town , easy access to the property

Had such high hopes for this 5 star holiday but was deeply disappointed. When we arrived after travelling for 12 hours we found out that there was no welcome drink of snack and the kitchen was closed. Our room which was a duplex had an internal window from the bathroom and bedrooms/sitting area which no curtain !!! It’s not practical for your family to see you in the shower/ toilet, specially when you are sharing with teenage daughters ! I did report with and was fix but really this sort of thing shouldn’t happen. Our room was described as having a private hot tub, well this was not the case as it was connected  with next door and we shared a large arch between them. We even had the children next door crossing over into ours! The is a massive shortage of sun loungers - I think there was around 25! Our room  had such a small outside area that using the 2 loungers they had put there was impractical as you couldn’t get to the front door or hot tub. The breakfast was fine for the 1st 2 days but then very repetitive and the warm food was not  that nice. On a positive side the bar staff were friendly enough but the reception staff where more interested in selling you spa treatments. The hotel was very clean. Also our room has a window  very high up with no blind which made the room too bright from the shine rise which was not very  relaxing as that was from around 5am! So was like sleeping with a main light on. Also jet 2 reps do not visit the hotel.

Not 5 star !

My husband and I had a very pleasant stay at the Chetwynd House Inn! Perfect location,- right in the heart of town. Charming home, and very frendly Inn Keeper. Bob was great in giving us advice on local points of interest, and restaurants!

Pros:   Property was in town and easy to get to everything. We had an A/C unit in our room.  Easy checking in and out.  The host was available through a text if you needed anything.   Cons: We were very disappointed in our room.  I’m 71 and my husband is 69 just for perspective.  Our room was up two flights of steep stairs in “The Loft” felt like an attic.  The bathroom was across the hall not in our room where there was no A/C.  It was probably close to 100 deg upstairs.  I did not feel safe up there in case of a fire, no avenue of escape except the stairs, no windows were accessible, there was a fire extinguisher.  There was no staff to greet you.  That personal touch was missing and needed.    No breakfast or Continental breakfast which is what we had hoped would be provided.  After a long day we were dreading going back to the Loft because it was so hot.  Although the A/C made our sleeping much better.  But the bathroom was extremely hot and miserable.   I’m sure the other rooms were nice.  So this is just a review of our room from our perspective.  Kennebunkport is a great little town and we really enjoying visiting it.

Overall condition of Inn was not good. Floors very uneven, one bed not adjusted to sloping floor and had to sleep on a slant. Sorely needs updating. The location is excellent and innkeeper did keep the property clean.

This B&B needs significant updating to make it a worthwhile stay.  We appreciate that this is an older house but everything is old and needs attention.  We especially did not like the TV set up whereby only streaming services were available.  We do not use those at home and were unable to get the programs we wanted.  The lack of any kind of breakfast kind of ruins the Bed and Breakfast aspect.  We completely understand the issues surrounding Covid 19 but other properties had significant safeguards and were able to serve breakfast.  The whole experience was disappointing.

This was such a nice location that was centrally located to everything we wanted to see. Very clear instructions, parking, room was very clean. I would definitely stay here again.

Not as represented online; almost very few amenities not even coffee;  never saw the owner or spoke to anyone other than thru text messages; very weird.

Great location and very nice older home. Very clean and comfortable. Check in and out was super easy.
