The location in downtown Kennebunkport can’t be beat! Walkable to shopping and dining. It is a contactless stay somewhat like an Airbnb however all instructions and key were left for us at check in and there was a coffee/tea station left stocked for us. The house is an older, antique filled home with all of the quirks that come with that type of home. Our room was cozy and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed Kennebunkport Prelude very much.

Don't be mistaken by first impressions as you drive up to this property. I'd like to call it a diamond in the rough. The host/owner, Bob will admit the property needs substantial renovations to the exterior but don't be misled. The property has it's charm and the location cannot be beat for the price. Park your car and forget it. Everything is within easy walking distance. This is our second time for this property and will definitely try to stay again next year.

Pros: Property was in town and easy to get to everything. We had an A/C unit in our room. Easy checking in and out. The host was available through a text if you needed anything. Cons: We were very disappointed in our room. I’m 71 and my husband is 69 just for perspective. Our room was up two flights of steep stairs in “The Loft” felt like an attic. The bathroom was across the hall not in our room where there was no A/C. It was probably close to 100 deg upstairs. I did not feel safe up there in case of a fire, no avenue of escape except the stairs, no windows were accessible, there was a fire extinguisher. There was no staff to greet you. That personal touch was missing and needed. No breakfast or Continental breakfast which is what we had hoped would be provided. After a long day we were dreading going back to the Loft because it was so hot. Although the A/C made our sleeping much better. But the bathroom was extremely hot and miserable. I’m sure the other rooms were nice. So this is just a review of our room from our perspective. Kennebunkport is a great little town and we really enjoying visiting it.

Overall condition of Inn was not good. Floors very uneven, one bed not adjusted to sloping floor and had to sleep on a slant. Sorely needs updating. The location is excellent and innkeeper did keep the property clean.

This B&B needs significant updating to make it a worthwhile stay. We appreciate that this is an older house but everything is old and needs attention. We especially did not like the TV set up whereby only streaming services were available. We do not use those at home and were unable to get the programs we wanted. The lack of any kind of breakfast kind of ruins the Bed and Breakfast aspect. We completely understand the issues surrounding Covid 19 but other properties had significant safeguards and were able to serve breakfast. The whole experience was disappointing.

Great location. Inn is a classic old New England building with steep stairs and creaky floors. Rooms were clean and bed sheets were ultra soft. If you like old Inns you will love this place. However, if you like new and modern you probably will not be happy with this Inn.

Very nice host and a perfect location. The house needs some updating and decorating but it was comfortable. Other B&Bs I’ve stayed at had a warmer feel with amenities such as afternoon wine and cheese or pastries and cookies. This was more of a room to rent feel and we could smell cigarette smoke

We had a great stay at the Chetwynd House Inn. The location can’t be beat — the inn is literally in downtown Kennebunkport (but on a side street, so it isn’t too noisy). The room was comfortable, and Bob was a great host — very responsive and accommodating. Would recommend staying here!

Delightful B&B

Delightful B&B in an excellent location just around the corner from Kennebunkport’s Main Street. We had a fantastic 2 night stay in this wonderful B&B. We were warmly welcomed by our host Bob who told us about the area and gave us excellent advice about where to eat. Our room was spacious and comfortable, it was extremely hot during our stay and the air conditioning worked a treat. The WiFi was good and we didn’t encounter any major difficulties. We had a delicious breakfast each morning served by Bob who was able to help us out with recommendations about what to do for the day. We had a wonderful stay and if ever in the area again we would definitely call again

The owner bob is really nice. Was there when we arrived and pointed out some places that might be open in the early season. The home is an older home so it was like going to our grandparents house. Location is excellent for the town so you can leave your car and walk. For a bed an breakfast it would be nice to have breakfast included. We have been to the town so we had a spot we like to go anyway. Also apparently Expedia is not collecting tax so when we were getting in our car to leave Bob cane out and said he needed to collect the tax. We actually called and spoke with an Expedia customer service rep to book this room as we had credit on our account. She charged us $9.00 telling us the tax was not included in the price and we asked if the extra charge was the $9 and she said yes that we didn’t owe anything else. We will call to discuss with them later today. I would imagine Expedia takes a pretty good chinch if change from Bob for the service so they should be able to provide the consumer with an otd out the door price. Again Bob was very nice and his place was very clean. We would recommend a stay with Bob anytime.

Not a nice place

I rarely do these reviews but I was SO disappointed in this B&B it became laughable by the last day of our 4 day stay there. The room and bathroom were dirty to start. NOTHING had been dusted. The toilet was unclean. The entire place was unkempt inside and out. We had the exact same breakfast every day. They never came in to make the bed or clean the bathroom during our stay there. We did not have a frig in our room and when we returned from dinner at 8 pm with a dessert and nightcap in mind the dining room/kitchen was closed and locked and we were unable to get any ice or any silverware. The owner is simply unhappy having this. I'm sorry for that but he needs to leave the hospitality industry. For $250 a night it was a major disappointment.

Steps to Kennebunkport Center

Our stay was very nice and Bob is a wonderful host. Breakfast was perfect, he does a great job on eggs...not always easy to make perfect but he does. The Inn is very clean and has wonderful access to the center of town only steps away. My one suggestion is the king room shower needs a mat or some grit of some kind on floor of shower....easy to slip. My husband and I live in the area and will recommend the Inn to friends and family.

Thanks, Bob!

Very pleasant experience. We just wanted to \"get away\". The Innkeeper let us into our room early. It was an extremely hot weekend, so the AC was much appreciated. You don't always get that with an older B&B. Raves for the breakfast which was made to order. The inn was close to the village with shops, dining and entertainment. We spent one day driving the coast and another checking out antique shops within a 10 mile radius. We had a delightful time. Bob was a most gracious host and we appreciated all the extras.

Hidden treasure!

Our innkeeper,Bob made the best scrambled eggs my son ever had! He catered to my dietary needs as well. Breakfast was like a fun surprise every morning. Each day was better than the day before! We also enjoyed Bob's knowledge of the area and found the hidden away restaurants because of him.
The double room on the second floor worked well for our needs and privacy. The inn is only 1 block to town but we found a bike shop, again out of town, because of Bob's help. He treats you like family and you have use of most of the house. This place is a hidden treasure! Air conditioning was available but the nights were so pleasant we didn't need it most of the time. I would definitely go back and recommend the inn to others who like bed and breakfast places.

A nice stay

Quiet street, clean rooms. Bob, the proprietor, was very nice and accommodating. We had the room on the top floor, bedroom separate from bathroom. Someone complained about that, but really not an issue. No one else is on the floor. I liked the room and would stay there again. Breakfast was good; fruit bowl, pancakes (I don't think it was real maple syrup, come on you are in Maine, give me the real stuff), followed by bacon and eggs of your choice (expertly done!). My biggest concern was a single seating at 9:00(coffee available at 7:30), I would have liked to get an earlier start.

Fantastic Little Inn

I loved Bob! He is an older gentleman that has a wealth of knowledge about the area. He loves to chat over breakfast and actually cares about his guests. He sees them more like family members that are visiting than a customer. He wants to make sure you enjoy your stay, and WE DID! The location was perfect, the B&B was very clean and comfortable, and you can't beat having someone like Bob to talk to. I highly recommend this place.

Simple B&B - Convenient location

Nice clean B&B but not worth the price. We have stayed at Inns in Kennebunk before and got a lot more for less money. If looking for a simple B&B that is close to town, this could be the place but shop around. Room was a nice size, simple and clean. Bathroom was a little tired and needs updating but the breakfast was very good. We were looking for a place to stay on very short notice and this worked out fine.

Older Inn with Local Flavor

Went up for the night to Kennebunk/Kennebunkport with my girlfriend to visit family and friends. You absolutely cannot beat the location right off Ocean Ave.

It is a quaint place with only a few rooms. Bob the inn keeper couldn't have been nicer. Three course breakfast with a fruit cup to start, pancakes, and then bacon and eggs cooked however you'd like.

The Seavey Suite where we stayed had two beds in adjoining rooms, so if you are traveling with children, it is a great spot (no door in between however).

Everything that you would expect from a Bed and Breakfast.
