We loved the view, along with the kindness and attentiveness of all who worked there. The location was great and made it easy to get to other places of interest in the area, great restaurants, botannical gardens, etc.
Five Gables was just fabulous. Loved the quiet location with a beautiful bay view, the quaint house, our lovely room, front porch and chairs by an indoor fireplace for relaxing. The breakfast the next morning was delicious. Will definitely go back.
Our first experience at the hotel was with the Innkeeper, Carolyn, who was as welcoming as an aunt or grandma that hasn't seen you in years. She gave us the land and showed us to our room.
Next we came out for "Tea and Coffee Service" at 4:00. The coffee was excellent and the homemade cookies made by Melissa were right what I needed to warm up from the rainy drive up.
Our room was one of the smaller rooms at the Inn, but it was more than enough for us for a short stay. The common area was well apportioned and had a library, roaring fireplace, board games, and a very cozy seating area.
Breakfast was... incredible. I travel a lot, and the food here was unique and delicious. They sell cookbooks with all their recipes in them at the front desk. Our server, Deeandra, was knowledgeable of the area and gave us some good recommendations. She answered all our questions and fulfilled any requests.
We will definitely be going back!
Very welcoming. Staff was excellent in all areas and always willing to assist. Food was excellent especially the creme brule french toast! 😋
We only thought the bedroom was a little small.
We have no complaints and will recommend you!
Ideal location, quiet, and with a water view. Excellent breakfast included - gourmet and healthy! Staff are very friendly and helpful. I will tell all my friends about this place. Plus, its just a quick walk down the hill to the Murray Hill Public Ploat and Ramp, a nice place to watch the sunset.and it's close by the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens which is a must see, and don't forget about the trolls. So fun!
