Historic Interest

Inn Britannia is the original home built in 1830 by Captain William Butman, whose ancestral roots are traced back to Suffolk, England. The original Butman traveled from England to Salem, Massachuttes shortly after the arrival of the first pilgrims. Born in Searsport in 1802, Willam was the first Butman to become a sea captain and is thus the founder of a long line of mariners from Searport who earned the recognition as "Cape Horners" who sailed to the Orient. Butman family members are buried in the nearby Gordon Cemetery.

Historic Memberships: Smoke Free Property and National Trust.

Historic sites nearby: Penobscot Marine Museum, a streetscape of a dozen authentic 19th century buildings (1 mile). Fort Knox and Fort Pownal (less than 10 miles). Numerous lighthouses are within an hours drive. Castine village is less than an hours drive.

Romantic Interest

Inn Britannia is nestled on over 5 acres of natural woods and delightful English gardens, with a private stroll to Penobscot Bay. Step inside and you'll be greeted with vibrant, rich Victorian colors and gorgeous stained-glass lamps. The dining room is a fairy tale come true of exquisite sterling silver, gorgeous English chintzware, imported crisp white linens and delicate lace, candlelight and soft fireglow from the woodburning fireplace. The three-room Windsor Suite is the essence of romance and is set apart from our other guestrooms. The vaulted bedroom has an elegantly-carved mahogany bed, cozy chaise lounge, antique drop-front desk, wet bar with complimentary sherry and silver champagne bucket, fireplace and bay window with views to the gardens and Penobscot Bay. A separate sitting room provides a wonderful spot for lounging with a good book or sipping afternoon tea. The bathroom has a beautiful antique clawfoot soaking tub complete with candle and wine holder for luxuriating in a relaxing bubble bath. A separate oversized tiled shower has a custom multi-head rainfall shower head.
