    homemade breakfast
    limited air conditioning

    Charming hospitality by the river

    Woke up to a stunning river view, greeted by delicious homemade breakfast options. The hosts were incredibly warm and made me feel truly at home.

    Only downside was that the room felt a bit warmer than expected due to limited air conditioning. Still, it didn't ruin the overall experience.

    The Innkeepers were incredibly accommodating and made us feel right at home.

    The a/c in the room wasn't powerful enough, resulting in a warmer stay than expected.

    river views
    ineffective a/c
    uncomfortably warm room

    Beautiful river views enhance your stay.

    During my stay, the air conditioning was ineffective, leaving the room uncomfortably warm throughout the night. I found it quite frustrating that I couldn't properly cool the space. Additionally, the window A/C unit prevented me from fully lowering the shades, resulting in insufficient darkness for a good night's sleep.

    beautiful gardens
    great breakfast
    cozy accommodations
    flat pillows

    We had an awesome stay at the B&B with friends. Loved visiting Bowdoin College, exploring the Walker Art Gallery and the Maine State Music Theatre nearby. The inn had beautiful gardens, and Tom and Judy were amazing hosts. Breakfast was a great experience, and the accommodations were cozy and perfect for relaxing.

    The only downside was the pillows. they were pretty flat and needed replacing.

    additional handrails
    safety concern

    The Black Lantern B&B had charming decor, lovely gardens, and ample outdoor seating, which were all very accessible. The inviting ambiance and beautiful views of the Androscoggin River truly made my stay feel relaxing and special.

    Could benefit from additional handrails for safety.

    charming place
    stunning views
    relaxing garden
    steep stairs

    What a charming place to unwind! The spacious Queen Room had stunning river views, and we loved relaxing in the garden area and sun terrace. Just a heads up, the stairs to the bedrooms are a bit steep, but it didn't ruin our enjoyment. 😊
