Southern Maine Bed and Breakfast

If you like rocky coastlines, long walks on the beach, the tang of salt air in the morning, and the romance of the classic English "Country House", then you'll love the English Meadows Inn, a Kennebunkport bed and breakfast.

Our lodging accommodations feature eleven bright and airy rooms with a view of the gardens. Some of the guestrooms have a fireplace, which can come in handy with the sea breezes on cool evenings.

Our famous breakfast features local produce, and we do magical things with wild Maine blueberries. On Saturday afternoon we offer an English Tea, with the best pot of tea this side of Claridge's!

Our two acres of grounds and gardens are a great place to wander about, catch up on a book in a lawn chair, or relax at the end of a busy day. Just an 8 minute walk away, Kennebunkport’s village and port are full charming shops and great restaurants. Ocean pursuits of fishing, sailing, kayaking and cruises are amongst the best in New England. Great golf and tennis are also right in the neighborhood

Whether you come to Kennebunkport, ME for a honeymoon, romantic retreat, or just to get away from the hustle for a few days, we hope you join us at the English Meadows Inn.
