Inn Britannia is the only
inn in New England to be awarded "Most Elegant - 2004" and Best Breakfast in New England - 2005". Nestled on five acres of gorgeous English gardens and dense natural woods,
Inn Britannia offers award-winning elegant accommodations, bountiful gourmet breakfasts and the friendliest hosts on Maine’s mid-coast. Built in 1830,
Inn Britannia is an historic sea captain’s home - lovingly restored, beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished with exquisite antiques. Maintaining the original 1830s charm and craftsmanship of a New England sea captain's home,
Inn Britannia has been recently renovated to provide each guest room with a private
bath. In addition, guests may relax in any of the four common rooms - furnished with cable television, movies, games, puzzles and darts.
Enjoy the romance of a candlelit breakfast in the original, wood-beamed dining room warmed by a cozy wood fire – the massive mantle was floated ashore from the Atlantic Ocean. A full cooked scrumptious award-winning breakfast is served each morning in the
Inn's Dining Room, complete with a cozy fireplace for those mornings when a crackling fire helps to warm you as you start your day. The wonderful menu with a gourmet flair includes such delectable items as Frittata Florentine, Cornish Baked Eggs and Wild Blueberry French Toast casserole. Fresh baked breads, scones, crumpets, breakfast Yorkshire puddings and popovers are also served, along with a selection of fresh fruits and orange juice and English tea or freshly ground coffee. Our nine beautiful Plymouth Barred Rock hens provide delicious, fresh eggs - an absolutely wonderful way to start the day.
Inn Britannia’s perfect location presents an easy drive to all
Maine coast activities and destinations. From
Bar Harbor and Acadia to
Camden and
Boothbay Harbor, Inn Britannia is an hour or less from whale watching, sailing, antiquing, shopping, hiking, snow-mobiling, skiing, swimming and some of the most awesome photo opportunities in the world! Open year-round,
Inn Britannia welcomes guests to the perfect beauty of Maine’s four distinct seasons. Enjoy the pristine quiet of a fresh snowfall, the lilac scent of a spring afternoon, the excitement of summer festivals and the unparalleled splendor of our New England autumn leaves.
Relax in our gardens, read a book in the quiet shade of the gazebo, take an afternoon nap in the hammock on the porch or search for deer and fox in our five acres of unspoiled woods. Take a short walk down our private lane and enjoy a secluded visit to the rocky beach of
Penobscot Bay!
Inn Britannia's beautiful gardens and natural woods are the only "Backyard Wildlife Habitat" certified by the National Wildlife Federation, on
Maine's mid-coast.
