We came for my gf's birthday and spent 2 nights. We stayed in the "Ranger" room which consisted of…read morea queen sized bed and a twin sized bed. The reason why we picked that room is that it was the only room that hasn't any minimum stay of 3 nights on, all the rest did. The room was spacious and very clean and had bathroom in it which is a good size one with a tub. The location is a little far from the square, where everything is. It is probably a good 15 minute walk. Breakfast is served between 7 and 9, and you get to share the dining table with the other guests. We got to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi that they offer. The manager was really friendly and accommodating. We had a positive experience.

The Inn provides beach towels and chairs which is nice, and it's a very quick walk to the beach, into town, or over to Marginal Way. You can't review the Inn without talking about Anthony's food! His breakfasts are absolutely amazing! And after a long day out, it's always fun to see what snack he has waiting for guests downstairs along with a mini fridge stocked with water, seltzer's, and sangria. After a long day it's nice to come back to the Inn sit on the front porch or in the nice gardens. We plan to keep coming back!

I helped co-plan a family reunion for about 30 people in Ogunquit this past June. We were so…read moreincredibly fortunate to find the Colonial Inn! From the very beginning Carlene and Chuck could not have been more helpful. They assisted us in organizing the event which went seamlessly. The accommodations perfectly met all of our needs. The rooms were well appointed, and the morning breakfast offerings were both delicious and plentiful. Carlene and Chuck worked closely with us to arrange for a tent for our group for the weekend as well as a lobster bake dinner one evening. To top it all off, their daily, hot, delicious chocolate cookies were the crowning touch! The Colonial Inn is a truly nice place with exceptional staff. We loved it all -- from the initial planning stages to actually staying as guests in this wonderful inn, in this beautiful town, right on the awesome Marginal Way. Wow. Thank you so much, Carleen and Chuck.

We enjoyed our stay while at The Colonial Inn. We stayed in…read morea large suite, with couch, King bed, and a view of the ocean. Everything was clean and comfortable. There was a nice large shower in the bathroom, along with a pedestal sink, and a cabinet to store your toiletries. We had a mini-frig and coffee maker in our room. In the Lobby there's a seating area, dining tables, games, puzzles, and a few books to read. Outside, there are rocking chairs all along the deck, plus more dining tables. The pool and hot tub looked very nice, although we didn't use them, but others were enjoying them and the lounge chairs on the pool deck. The staff were friendly, and provided little extras, such as fresh-baked cookies each day, water, coffee, snack bags. The Continental Breakfast was easy and just right amount of food first thing in the morning, before heading out for the day...a nice selection of hard boiled eggs, bagels & Cream Cheese or peanut butter, toast, pastries, fruit, cereals, milk, juices, coffee, tea, and Hot Chocolate. It was an easy walk down to the shops on Shore Rd, Main Street, and Beach St that takes you out to Ogunquit Beach. If walking is more of a challenge for you, the Trolley stops right outside of the Inn. The path leading to Marginal Way is right next door, as well. Not a criticism, but just full transparency...this is an OLD building that's been updated, but the floors still creak, and are slightly uneven. We highly recommend The Colonial Inn, and will revisit in the future.

AMAZING! I have no words…read more We had the most wonderful stay here. They think about every detail. The cottage was just beautiful and so cozy. The location is insane. You're by the water and it's a quick 10 minute walk to the beach (when it's low tide). They have paddle boards, kayaks and you can even go on the pontoon when it's high tide. This is by far the best hotel we stayed at.

Don't be fooled... the positive reviews on here are from 4,5 even 9 years ago before new management…read moreABSOLUTELY DESTROYED this gem of a generational vacation spot. My husband, sons and I had been going to the dunes for 8 years as returning customers to our cottage at the dunes. it was what everyone in our family always looked forward to. Both of my sons could not wait to take our yearly family trip. it was our forever spot, where we envisioned our family generations going every summer. When my oldest went to college he would still come to the dunes, even flying from his internship in California out to our yearly two week dunes vacation because, yes, it was that special. I can't understate that it was an absolutely magnificent place, untouched by corporate greed, a little family operation. The only thing to mark the property was an un-assuming wooden sign, small and simple but well done - just like the dunes. if you went fast enough on the bustling touristy road you would miss it. beyond the threshold of pines that shield your view to this little ideal world, are incredible ocean views, simple little cottages, green grass, and lots of space, it was a simple little paradise. the dunes was simple, elegant and already expensive. now imagine 2x the cost and you get the idea. what used to be around 8,000usd for a two week stay ( and a full kitchen) is now around 20,000$ (with no kitchen)........ absolutely insane. whats more disappointing is the rebranding of the property as some luxury cottage getaway when the original architecture and entire feel WAS ALREADY MORE GENUINE than this rebrand!!! The whole idea of the dunes cottages were things are simple, like going back in a time machine, units aren't about new interior renovations and luxury finishes. its about time to connect with family outdoors, get away to a simpler time and remember what truly matters. shame on new ownership - truly commercialism at its finest. Well done management, you lost an 8 year returning client, and just know, we have since visited and this place lost what made it special.

Great inn centrally located by great restaurants and walking distance to the beach. When we arrived…read morewe were warmly greeted by Andrea as she checked us in and went over the amenities the inn offered and gave us some great restaurant recommendations. There are rooms located in separate buildings and rooms located within the main building. The disadvantage in staying in the main building is the limited view from some of the rooms. The major advantage is the following amenities are located here which include the: * Gym * Pool * Ice maker * Vending machines * Business center * Coffee and tea * Microwave * couches and tables in the lobby area Some rooms are a tad more expensive but it comes with 2 sinks and a larger refrigerator. So check before booking. There is no restaurant located in this inn, but there are plenty in walking distance. Some of the rooms have a 6 inch drop when you step down from the threshold of your door. The rooms are clean, well lighted and the HVAC system works well. Love the inn and the entire staff that works here. Everyone is so nice and personable. Looking forward to stay here again next year.
