My husband and I recently spent our honeymoon at the Old Fort Inn. We couldn't have made a better choice. The front desk staff was extremely warm and welcoming, providing everything from dining recommendations to standing in as a photographer. One day of our stay was going in the upper 90s. We checked in with the front desk that morning... More

Stayed here, with my wife, for a wonderful vacation during the summer of 2012. From the second we checked in to the second we had to leave (sadly!) it was a wonderful experience. The rooms were comfortable and very enjoyable, the pool was peaceful and beautiful and the access to the town was very easy. We enjoyed walking from the... More

My husband and I stayed only one night here as we were on our way to another destination. The Old Fort Inn is beautiful, well kept, very clean, provided outstanding friendly service.

What an idyllic seaside Inn! The Old Fort Inn is a little bit removed from direct sea views and the Village of Kennebunkport, however they have all the charm you could ever want!!

We stayed at the Inn at the start of our recent New England trip. The Inn itself is beautifully appointed. We stayed in the carriage house annexe and the rooms were stunning.

For all of the many years I have visited Kennebunkport, Maine, I was never aware of this hotel. It is a small hotel/bed & breakfast, very close to downtown and the ocean and very convenient to shops and restaurants. However, its location is tucked away in the trees so you feel you are hidden away in a forest. A charming... More
