We’ve stayed here twice now with the previous owners annd the new owners and had a lovely time both times. Incredible three-course breakfast with pastries, and beautifully crafted main dishes, included in the stay. Comfortable and clean rooms, jacuzzi tubs are wonderful. And it’s just up the street from the Main Street and shops.
The service and staff are always so friendly and accommodating.
But the highlight is always the food and the three course dinners and dining experience. Sensational menus and flavors.
Rooms were only OK, but the beds were SUPER comfortable. Nothing luxurious, which was my expectation. Food was very, very good and the service was very good as well. I would definitely come back for a meal and a drink again as the location on Main St. was ideal.
I can't recommend the Hartstone Inn enough! The location to downtown Camden is fabulous and easily walkable to all restaurants and shopping. All the staff are friendly, offering suggestions on restaurants or places to get a cocktail and enjoy the views. The inn, too, is adorable, providing a perfect mix of the historical house and modern conveniences. The ensuite bathroom of the Toscana room was small but perfectly sufficient for showering. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, and they provide USB charging on the nightstand. Breakfast is included with the rate and is served 8-10 am. I was pleasantly surprised with how tasty it was! They had delicious yogurt, granola, fresh wild Maine blueberries and other fruit, tasty croissants and other pastries, along with a buffet of scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, and bacon. Coffee was also really good! I am already looking forward to returning here!
Lovely rooms, clean and well appointed. Food was disappointing. We had been to two other bed and breakfasts in Maine during our time there that served gourmet breakfasts.. We were expecting something similar here but it wasn’t. They served buffet style standard breakfast. Eggs, bacon etc. not what is shown on their pictures. Service was slow while we were there and we couldn’t find anyone when we had questions. No one answered when I tried calling a couple times before we arrived either. They also lost our dinner reservation.
I would still stay there again because location is great and rooms are wonderful. I would just skip the food.
Wow, my wife and I were blown away by how wonderful this place is! The owners, management and all of the staff make you actually feel welcome. Honest-to-goodness graciousness, not spray-can, pasted on customer service ambience and compulsory smiles. The room was amazing, beautiful, comfortable, and the food, both dinner and breakfast... again, nothing short of spectacular, with way more-than-adequate portions, again, unusual in a restaurant of this caliber. We have not ever been to a better place in Maine, and we have lived all around the state for the last 35 years. Hope to see you all again! And the pricing is one of the most amazing values for any inn or restaurant, combined, to be found in the state!
We had a lovely stay here. The inn is very close to downtown and walkable to everything you could want to do in Camden. The on-site parking had plenty of spaces. Our room, and the inn overall, was very clean. The staff was very nice and welcoming. The breakfast included was tasty. We weren't able to do dinner as the dining room is closed Mon and Tues.
The only things that would say are: 1) the walls are a bit thin, our neighbors snoring and the church bell (that rings every hour on the hour throughout the day and night) can be heard very clearly from the room we stayed in (Toscana), and 2) the staff were very hard to find, though I'm not trying to be too harsh because we came at the end of the season and I know everyone is having staffing issues.
Overall, this was a lovely little stay. I would recommend if you're a light sleeper to consider which room you pick.
We stayed in Toscana on the second floor. The room was clean, comfortable and quite lovely. The staff was extremely kind and attentive and the location is walkable to everything in town.
We enjoyed the daily breakfast menu and would also encourage anyone visiting Camden to make dinner reservations at the inn. The dining experience was wonderful. We had a group of 6 and everyone loved their meal.
Thank you for great Maine getaway!
What an absolute gem. Every staff member here is so warm and inviting, they make you feel welcomed and cared for. We had the most delicious meals and cocktails, and enjoyed sitting outside by the fire. Our room was unbelievably cozy and spacious. Cannot recommend highly enough. The homemade cookies are to die for. We can’t wait to come back and try the cooking classes!
Right in the heart of downtown Camden all the shops and restaurants are in walking distance. Tasty beverages in the evening and a great breakfast in the morning. An all around successful stay
Different buildings might be a pain, but the rooms were clean, spacious and overall a good place to stop.
