Peaceful surroundings include at least two acres of manicured lawns, flowers, trees and antique lilacs. The main house and carriage house offer elegant guest bedrooms furnished with antiques and Oriental rugs. The carriage house boasts a cozy fireplace in the large common room. A guest house has a screened porch amidst the trees. The three-course breakfast may include poached pears, a breakfast souffle and baked blueberry muffins. Dock Square is just a short walk for shopping or restaurants, and there are many historic sites and nearby beaches.

Inkeepers Notes

Welcome to THE Season at the English Meadows Inn. If you like rocky coastlines, long walks on the beach, the tang of salt air in the morning, and the romance of the classic English ?Country House?, then you?ll love Kennebunkport and the English Meadows Inn. Kennebunkport?s village and port, just an 8-minute walk away, are full of life and in addition to the charming shops and great restaurants, ocean pursuits of fishing, sailing, kayaking or just a cruise are amongst the best in New England. Great golf and tennis are also right in the neighborhood. The English ?Country House? experience is at its best in the spring and summer. Between the one-hundred-year-old lilacs, natural day lilies, the traditional cottage roses, and perennial gardens, something is always in full bloom and our cutting garden supplies fresh flowers for the rooms. Our two acres of grounds and gardens are a great place to wander about, catch up on a book in a hammock or lawn chair, or relax at the end of a full day. Our ten bright and airy rooms have a view of the gardens and some have a fireplace which can come in handy with the sea breezes on cool evenings. Our famous breakfast features local produce and we do magical things with wild Maine blueberries. On Saturday afternoon we offer an English Tea, with the best pot of tea this side of Claridge?s! Our guests tell us our comfortable, casually elegant style feels just right in the summertime in Maine. We hope you join us during THE Season at the English Meadows Inn. Please call for reservations and additional information.
