The Inn offers a tranquil escape with stunning views and is conveniently located near the heart of Kennebunkport. Dining experiences are memorable, particularly with the chef-prepared meals. However, the rooms could use some improvements, as they seem dated and have maintenance issues. While the service is attentive, the overall experience didn't justify the price we paid, given the state of the accommodations.
