The Chadwick Bed & Breakfast

I would give this place 6 stars if i could. Everything about this two day stay was flawless. The house is so perfect, we decided to spend a relaxing evening in playing board games and drinking tea rather than exploring portland. There is no way to be disappointed with a stay here!

Such a great, small bed and breakfast. We had such a good visit. The inn is beautifully decorated and the rooms gorgeous. Erin and Scott are gracious innkeepers and they make an amazing breakfast. Will definitely come back.

My husband and I stayed here for a full week during our honey moon. It was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast and we were both a little nervous. When we pulled onto the street we were a little disappointed that is was located right across from a hospital. However in the full week we were there it was so quiet, neither of us can recall having a single disturbance.
The house itself is beautiful! It is very clean and decorated very nicely. We felt at home immediately. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. We stayed in the Baxter room which was on the smaller side but very intimate and cozy. There was a tiny private balcony off of the sliding door in our room which was nice to look out of while drinking my morning coffee. There was a private bathroom right across the hall that was very clean and stocked very well. There is a heated fan in there as well! Awesome!
Ok now let’s talk about breakfast. Out of this world! Every morning was something even more delicious than the morning before. They would bring out a little appetizer like yogurt and granola or fresh scones while you were waiting and you would almost be full before the actual breakfast.
Scott and Erin were very nice and very accommodating. Erin was also very helpful when it came to recommending local attractions. We absolutely loved our stay here. We hope to return some day!

This is exactly what you should want from a BnB, lovely old home, family atmosphere, comfortable room and bathroom, not jam packed full of rooms and guests, and a delicious breakfast.
My wife and I stayed here for two nights and loved everything about the home. The free amenities were pretty straight forward: snacks, coffee, tea, games/​DVDs, newspapers and other drinks. They had great add-​on prices for bottles of wine or breakfast cocktails.
As far as I could tell (or remember) there were only 4 or so rooms, and my wife and I stayed in Room 4. Our bathroom wasn’t attached but that was not a problem for us. We had a large and very comfortable bed and the inn was quiet so we slept great.
For breakfast on the first morning we had pumpkin spice waffles with fresh fruit and sausage. Absolutely delicious, with just the right amount of syrup. On the second day we had an everything bagel with lox, homemade cream cheese and other accompaniments. Also great.
Highly recommend.

First B&B I’ve ever stayed in. Had slightly anxiety on the way about noisy neighbors or creepy guests or crazy charges for this and that but as I got off the highway and entered this town my worries went away and when we pulled up into the driveway I exhaled and smiled big! We were greeted by a nice woman who he is a tour and showed us our room. The house is amazing — like so homey and cozy but imagine you’re pinteresting cottage coastal and boom! The amenities are just perfect from the hammock to the firepit and the selection of board games to complimentary homemade cookies and bottled water and teas and coffees — to the chocolates in your room, etc. And the breakfast was almost too beautiful to eat — huevos rancheros presented TOP CHEFish. I’m so happy we found this place and will become a regular, for sure!

This place is amazing. Cozy place, quite, lovely staffs. The place has just been renovated and everything is in a great condition. Breakfast is also super yummy :)

We traveled to the Maine from Chicago, and despite being 1000 miles away, we felt at home at the Chadwick.
Scot and Erin were attentive in an unobtrusive way. The rooms were spotless, and the dining room was always stocked with coffee, tea and cookies. Don’t leave without trying the peanut butter banana butterscotch cookies. They’re addictive.
Breakfasts are on point, too. They alternate between a sweet dish and an egg-​based dish, so one day the menu might include lobster eggs benedict and the next might be strawberry shortcake pancakes. They even accommodate special diets. No matter what is served, it will be delicious.

Great bed and breakfast on the West End. My mother and I stayed in the Longfellow room, which is listed as the smallest room in the inn. It has a private bathroom and was the perfect size for two people who are mostly spending their days out and about.
The inn owners are super accommodating and made a delicious breakfast each morning. Snacks, coffee and tea, water and seltzer are available all hours.
The location is next to the Maine Medical Hospital. It was not too noisy and we felt safe walking into town. It is at least a mile from the restaurants we ate at and not overly close to the heart of old town. But we didn’t mind walking. There is a strip of restaurants along Congress Ave., along with night clubs and bars.
The bed was comfortable. The pillows gave me a slight neck ache. The bathroom was very well stocked. And bonus for having a heated fan.
Overall we were really happy with our stay.

With numerous friends and family members in town over the weekend (as it is most our summers) we were happy to hear great reviews about The Chadwick when our guests sent us the thank you note. They raved about it, the ambience, everything. Thank you. Amybeth Hurst, Portland

Scot and Erin are so friendly and welcoming! My boyfriend and I stayed in the Abbott Room for one night. The bed was so comfy and the towels were so soft! They have local wine for purchase downstairs and complimentary tea, crackers, homemade cookies, and water/​seltzer. They were perfect for a midnight snack. The place is quaint and clean. You’ll definitely feel at home here. Next time I’m in Portland, I’ll be staying here!

The most amazing B & B I have every had the pleasure of staying in. .. we first discovered The Chadwick just over two years ago, on a fantastic get away weekend to Portland! The perfect mix of comfort and style, Scot creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that mixes Old Port charm with modern convenience. We have been back several times, and have even rented the entire inn with friends and family! Each room is well appointed with creature comforts to meet any need, and the common areas are just perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Now, let’s discuss the most important part: the food! From lobster Eggs Benedict to rosemary and goat cheese quiche, it is by far some of the best breakfast food in Maine! Scot has mastered the B & B experience, and my only question is this: when are you opening another inn? We have more friends and family to bring up!

Found this on Unilocal,and Unilocalers are right. It’s a quaint, inviting and relaxing B&B. We stayed at the Longfellow Room which has a «fireplace.» It felt like home. Delicious breakfast ranged from French Toast to Omelet with fruits and granola. Bottled water, snacks and homemade cookies are complimentary. Scott and Erin are friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. I can’t comment much on the area as we briefly walked the neighborhood. If we come back to Portland, we won’t hesitate to stay here again.

Welcoming and oh so comfortable, the Chadwick B&B is the way to go when visiting Portland, ME.
Scot knows how to take the B&B experience to new heights with exceptional service. The house is charming and very cozy, with indoor and outdoor spaces to relax. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The breakfasts are better than most restaurants’. I’d love it if they did room service, but I’ll drag myself out of the comfy bed to get to the dining room for them!
Tip: The Chadwick is located in the west end, which is the loveliest part of the old town. When you venture out by foot to explore the town, go via the neighborhood (not down Congress). Don’t miss the west promenade, and meander through the mansion-​lined streets.

What a great B&B!
My girl and I stayed here two nights while visiting Portland. The whole experience was great, from the warm welcome to the cozy room to the outstanding breakfast. I would highly recommend and cannot wait to return someday.

I waffle between a four and a five star on this place. I do have a handful of reasons why I don’t want to give them a five but I also really had nice time here so it makes me feel bad to hold out on that extra star. sigh.
The innkeepers were very friendly and helpful. They made sure we had everything available to us. There’s a snack table downstairs that has tons of cookies (one that is homemade), crackers, tea and coffee available. The tea selection was very fun and I enjoyed picking out which flavor I would have each time.
Our room was sort of secluded from the rest of the house which I liked. The bathroom was separate from the bedroom. It was a large bathroom and even though it was a private one it still kind of annoyed me that it was separate. I sleep naked and when I have to use the facilities in the middle of the night it’s annoying to have to find some clothes or a robe. I strongly prefer an attached bath.
There was a heater in the bedroom with a slab of marble on top of it that was sort of precarious. Not only did I keep accidentally bumping it and watching it wobble but the marble would get pretty warm, almost hot, when the heater would kick on. I had a water bottle on there and it started getting to the point I was worried it would melt the plastic. So at that point I moved my stuff to the floor or on another shelf but that was sort of inconvenient. It was a bit of a bummer that the fireplace isn’t real.
Still, we were snuggly in the bed and everybody was far enough away it felt like we were all on our own. There’s a cute little balcony off the room that I imagine is very lovely in the summertime.
There are many wine bottles available for purchase at super reasonable prices and they just add it to your bedroom. There’s also a binder full of nearby restaurant menus that is helpful to peruse. And a ton of games and dvds at your disposal.
For breakfast they have some decent food. I loved the fresh fruit and the homemade granola was really tasty. I will say that it wasn’t as good as I thought it was going to be but it wasn’t like we weren’t fed.
I had a nice time here and I would definitely return but maybe I would splurge and get a room with an attached bath. My bad.

If you’re staying in Portland there’s no better place than the Chadwick B&B. My fella and I wanted to get away for a few days before the craziness of the holidays and to use up some end of year vacation days. We both really enjoy Portland, ME, but hadn’t been there in some years. I’m so glad we decided to stay at the Chadwick over some of the other B&B options available in the area.
It’s plain to see right away when you walk in that this Bed & Breakfast is cozy and cheery but modern without being cold. It’s not stuffy, dusty or filled to the brim with tchotchkes. We chose room #4, the Chamberlain room, because it had a king size bed, and a full tub (room 3 has a shower only). There are four rooms at the Chadwick: two have attached bathrooms, two have bathrooms near the bedrooms, but they are also private (your room key locks those doors as well). Both the Chamberlain bedroom and bathroom have a very comfortable atmosphere. I like that neither was overfilled with furniture, but had just enough for practicality. The bedroom has a great little electric fireplace, which made the room so romantic and cozy. Every room has a flat screen TV with DVD player, a sound machine and an iPod dock/​alarm clock. It’s a modern place in all the ways that matter, and rustic and charming in everything else.
Scott and his staff were friendly, but let us have our own space to do as we liked, which I really appreciated. I hate the kind of B&B where you feel like you’re in someone else’s home and invading their space. If anything, I wanted to go hang out in the kitchen with Scott, the staff and their dog. But I was glad to have the quiet time, the privacy and the space to enjoy the company of my boyfriend. Speaking of which, I think he really enjoyed himself too, even though I know we booked the Chadwick instead of some cheap hotel because I wanted it. I wanted something a little more luxe, but really we didn’t pay that much more. I compared prices with hotels in the area, and any hotel worth staying in (i.e. not a Motel 6) was the same price or more than a stay at The Chadwick. With the included breakfast, it’s more than well worth the price. Plus, the Chadwick seems to have offers available for last minute bookings, seasonal bookings or Unilocal check ins, etc.
Everyone here has raved about the breakfasts, with good reason. Day #1 yogurt with honey and dried cherries, and strawberry shortcake pancakes that will make you weep, they’re so good. Day #2 home-​made granola with steamed milk, omelets with filling of choice and fresh fruit. We left the B&B each day feeling fulfilled, and we didn’t have to eat lunch until 2pm.
The bed in the Chamberlain room was not just a big comfortable bed, it was incredibly comfortable, so much so, I am asking the guys what they have on that bed because when I get a new one, I am getting something similar if I can.
The dining room has snacks, tea and cocoa all day and night long. The living room also has wine bottles at the ready and complimentary waters and seltzers as well. The living room also has a library of mostly travel books, and a good selection of DVDs. There are also some board games, but excepting Monopoly, they are all for groups of 4 or more.
And my favorite touch: a pack of condoms in the bedside table. Thanks fellas.

My husband & I got rained out of camping in Acadia, so we opted for a drive down to Portland and some cozier accommodations. The Chadwick had two rooms available mid-​week, of which we were offered our choice. Scott was very helpful on the phone when I called to inquire about rates & availability, and he was just as friendly & professional in person.
The house itself is lovely: charming and quaint without being old lady-​ish, with elegant décor in general. My husband & I both appreciated the modern amenities (iPhone-​docking alarm clock/​stereo, remote-​controlled fireplace, LCD flatscreen TV), which are unusual for a B&B. Mellow, quiet music was always playing downstairs in the common areas too. I enjoyed the classical while lounging with my coffee & book.
The bed was super comfy, there was no real noise from the street or house (though our room was supplied with a little white-​noise machine for sensitive individuals), and each room seemed sweetly unique.
It was also convenient to have a parking space, as well as the freedom to come & go as we pleased (our room key had the code for the front door).
Loved having tea and fresh cookies before bed, picked up a few of the complimentary snacks for the drive the next day, and breakfast was outstanding! Scott had asked for any dietary restrictions upon check-​in to accommodate us. No restrictions here, so were served a delicious meal of herb-​goat cheese quiche, maple sausage, fresh fruit, and berries in a mint simple syrup.
Don’t waste your time and money on some stupid, soulless hotel. Spend a few extra bucks, cancel your breakfast plans, and stay at the Chadwick!

We enjoyed our stay at the Chadwick Ben and Breakfast. The rooms were lovely, updated, clean, and comfortable. Breakfasts were thoughtful and the chocolate chip cookies were tops. My spouse would run home every afternoon with the excitement of a child, hoping there would be cookies in the jar. The prices were very reasonable the and innkeeper, Scot, was friendly, but not overly present (this is a good thing… I don’t like feeling like I’m staying in a stranger’s living room). He went above and beyond to take a gift certificate for us that the inn no longer accepts, which was super kind and much appreciated. Great customer service.
The only down side for us is it’s a bit far from the old port (they said a 20 minute walk, but my guess is it would take longer, and it’s not really an attractive walk (full disclosure, we never actually did the walk)). Being away from the city might be an upside for other folks who don’t want to deal with all the hustle and bustle outside their windows. It was near the hospital, but we never hear ambulances. The cab to the old port was just under $ 10 each way with tip, so it was totally fine, but I want people to have realistic expectations.

My boyfriend and I have stayed here twice. We went back because we enjoyed it so much the first time. Since our first stay, ownership of the inn changed. But that was not a problem at all. Laura was friendly and even called to let us know our room was ready early. We were greeted and offers water before we were shown to our room.
We stayed in the Abott Room. The bed is COMFORTABLE! And the room has a private bath room. The inn is cozy without being over the top. The common areas do not have AC, but the bedrooms have a window unit each.
We already had a dinner reservation, but Laura did ask if she could help.
Breakfast was delicious. A Mediterranean omelet with fresh raspberry orange muffins and piping hot coffee.
So happy we went back. Was the perfect overnight getaway spot.

The wonderful Chadwick was the home-​base for our weekend jaunt in Portland. My girlfriend and I are no B & B superstars, but we still managed to jot down a few of the Chadwick’s unique elements.
The innkeepers, Scot and Laura, are fairly young, which was great for 20-​something travelers like ourselves. Other B & B’s I’ve been to were a bit stuffy towards the young folk. Scot and Laura were also fairly hands-​off, and that made us feel more comfortable and relaxed. I’m never a fan of hosts that are too helpful… Scott and Laura played a perfect balance in this regard.
There are only four rooms at the Chadwick, but the cheapest option – the Baxter – is definitely the most private. The room is small, but unless you have tons of luggage it shouldn’t be a bother (there’s even a sizable closet for storing excess luggage). We liked the way the room was secluded around a corner and down a short hallway. Yeah, the bathroom is across the hall from the room, but you don’t have to walk through any «common» areas in order to get to it. The fact that the bathroom is large and comforting was also a big plus.
Breakfasts were elegant, healthy, and filling. Omelets one day, blueberry pancakes the next, eggs benedict the day of our departure. There was also constant selection of snacks, tea (lots of tea), and coffee available throughout the day.
Even though it was frigid out, we were still able to walk downtown every day. There’s some great restaurants within a 10 minute walk and plenty more within 15 — 20 min. Downtown Portland has easy – and cheap – taxis as well. A cab back to the Chadwick from Old Port was 7 or 8 bucks with tip.
There’s no need for me to add any special wit or snark to this review. The Chadwick was too good. It was our perfect home for the weekend.
