My partner and I had the most wonderful stay at Topside Inn! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a charming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The inn itself is beautifully decorated with modern touches while still maintaining its historic charm. The breakfasts were delicious, with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, and we especially loved the homemade bread.

Topside Inn is in a perfect location, just a short walk from the heart of town and all the best shops and restaurants, but still quiet and peaceful. It was the perfect retreat for a relaxing weekend getaway. We will definitely be returning, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic and rejuvenating escape!"

This place is top notch. We needed a room at 9 pm during our travels. Rebecca checked us in gave us complementary drinks had fresh fruit out for guests. The Continental breakfast was like a fine dining experience. There was fresh cut fruit, crêpes, omelettes plus all the normal continental breakfast items. The room was very spacious and cleaner than any room I have ever stayed in. I will...See More

The Continental breakfast was like a fine dining experience. There was fresh cut fruit, crêpes, omelettes plus all the normal continental breakfast items. The room was very spacious and cleaner than any room I have ever stayed in. I will definitely stay here again, if I’m in the area. Rebecca was amazing, and gives you an amazing experience at the inn.

This is arguably the best place I’ve ever stayed at. The rooms were comfortable, immaculate, bright and had unbeatable views. The staff is friendly, responsive and beyond helpful. Breakfast was unbelievably good! Great location for walking in and out of Boothbay all day. We will be back!!

We loved our stay! Rebekah did a wonderful job of making our experience memorable and special! We loved the Windward junior suite, the soaking tub and the private deck were so romantic! The morning breakfasts were outstanding, far beyond any average hotel breakfast. We found the accommodations and the views to live up beyond our expectations. This is the best place to stay in Boothbay, hands down!

Our stay at Topside could not have been better! The inn is beautiful and everyone on staff was so friendly and welcoming. The location is great and the views of the harbor from the front lawn are spectacular. There are so many nice touches - fresh cookies every afternoon, blankets on the porch in case it’s chilly, soft drinks, water and snacks available all day and the best breakfasts...See More
