Bittersweet Bed and Breakfast was absolutely perfect!! The grounds and building was meticulously maintained with care. The room was adorable and our chats with Victor (the owner) were great!! It is about a 2 minute drive to York Beach, a short walk to Neddick beach and about 10 minutes from Ogunquit. We had a fabulous stay and highly recommend this sweet B&B!!

Lovely stay close to the beach

We came for the weekend to visit the area, and had such a lovely stay. We have stayed in several bed and breakfast before, and this was one of the most clean locations we have stayed at. The bed was comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and the location of the property itself was very convenient to visiting the local area. We were able to walk to short sands beach in about 10 minutes, and also walked to dinner at the local lobster pound as well. Our hosts were also very friendly and offered good suggestions of sites to visit in the local area. We would definitely stay here again!
