We reserved and paid for a room in advance, and then found out that the room was on the second floor and required climbing a long flight of stairs. My wife is unable to climb stairs because of a disability. When I contacted the Thistle Inn, I asked for a room on the first floor. This was their response: "Good morning, we only have one room at the ground floor that’s occupied and the building had no elevator. Thank you!" Not accommodating at all. I have written asking for a refund, and have asked ******* to help mw receive a refund. As of this moment, I have heard nothing.

I’ve stayed at several different places and Boothbay Harbor over the years. I enjoyed that everything was no hassle. We arrived late due to snow on our way up and my only slight complaint was I wish someone could’ve turned the heat to the room on. Other than that great stay!

The house was built in 1861 with original flooring and lovingly refurbished. The sleeping accommodations are tastefully furnished. Being a short walk away from the hubbub of the shopping doesn't mean that your peace and quiet is disturbed. The restaurant, which is located on the first floor of the Inn serves delicious food and staffed by competent and polite people. The only suggestion that we could make is a full length mirror in the room. Looking forward to returning in the future.

This is our 2nd trip to Boothbay, first time at The Thistle Inn, we stayed in the Crows Nest, as a family of 4. The room was beautiful, clean, spacious. We loved having a full kitchen and room to spread out. This would even make a great weekend getaway for 2 during the off season. The fireplace makes a nice cozy touch.

Unique Property
I would say this property is Unique!!!
There is no Front Desk;; check in is a code for the main door and coded key lock box with a key to your room.
Checkout is the same. Everything is done via email and phone.
What makes this place Great is the Restaurant attached to the Inn. Food is Amazing and the service is Awesome as well!!! The are owned by separate entities.
There are only 6 rooms which makes it nice as well and located walking distance to downtown Boothbay Harbor.
The only downfall is the narrow stairs going up to the second and third floors, I have bad knees so the stairs were a little rough but still didn't take away from a Great Stay!!! Next time I will try to get the room on the first floor lol.
I would definitely stay there again!!

Overall, clean. Pictures on ******* don’t perfectly reflect the property. Cover picture shows a full refrigerator and kitchen with huge counter & barstool chairs. Did not see anything like that.
The room (which I thought was a 2nd floor room because of the ceiling shape in pics) was actually a 3rd floor (which was not very easy for us older folk to climb) & stairs were very narrow. No elevator.
No breakfast, lunch amenities. Keurig in room was great (if you’re a fan of Keurig)
I guess this was an average like a AirB&B type situation. If you’re looking for that, it is fine. Anything more is not there. Although it looks like they’re trying to update each room individually.
Ours was newly painted & clean.
Small refrigerator, no freezer.
It’s out of the busy/touristy sections & outstanding restaurant below the rooms (not associated with the rentals.)
Open 4pm-9pm. The food, staff, ambiance was phenomenal.
All n all, the experience was ok, just lacking any personal touch/service.moo

Steep stairs to access room
The room was nice but you have to carry everything up a flight of steep stairs to reach the room. Shower is very small.

Hard mattress moldy shower curtain restaurant smel
Check in instructions supposed to come 72 hours. Got day of after calling. Bed WAY TOO FIRM! Shower curtain pink and black with mold and mildew-smelled to high heaven when wet. The restaurant is too loud. Heard people singing Happy Birthday and dishes clanging in our room. Thankfully done around 10. Can also smell cooked food in the room. Odd setup.
