You can walk to the beach via the footpath that passes in front of the hotel, The Marginal Way is only about a 5 minute walk, and there are shops and restaurants just off property. The rooms are comfortable, several include kitchenettes and have water views. I've always styed in the main building, and I love the sitting room, the ocean view from the breakfast area, and the covered porch. We travel with a white noise machine, but I've never had a problem with noise here. The beds are comfortable and the hotel is very clean. Breakfast is included and consists of a variety of breads & bagels, fresh cut fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. It is all high quality, and the fresh fruit is the highlight for me. Love being here and can't wait to come back next year.

However, if you're like me, and you want a full vacation experience and hotel with a lobby and some amenities, with a pool, private balcony, a room with a beach view, and a fun experience hanging out in the room on a rainy day, or relaxing at night with wine and cheese, just know this is a simple little place and not all rooms are spacious and have views - you will have to make sure you reserve one of the larger rooms with a view. And the hotel is all about location, not frills. We made our plans late and got a garden level room, which was clean and had a comfortable bed, but, well, it's a garden level room with no view, facing a parking lot, with ultra low ceilings and was kind of cramped. Still, it had a nicely redone newer bathroom and shower, a functional air conditioner and it was convenient that there was a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven (for slices) and a sink for dishes etc so you don't have to fill up your coffee maker with water from the bathroom sink lol! We got lucky and had beautiful beach weather for every day of our stay so we just used the room to shower and sleep and spent time at the beach, walking Marginal Way, exploring Perkins Cove, shopping, trying different restaurants and having ice cream at night on one of the many public benches for people watching. This hotel does have a pretty lawn with some tables and chairs for all guests to use and that was nice in the morning with coffee. But if you reserve and get a garden level room, I wouldn't recommend that in the off season, or if you are unlucky and get rainy weather.

The Sparhawk rooms are right at the water's edge and you have wonderful unimpeded views of the Atlantic, Ogunquit Beach, Little Beach and the outlet of the Ogunquit River, with the mesmerizing tides. Plus the views are due east and the sunrises are amazing. However- though the rooms are clean and comfortable with a private patio or balcony, there are some misses for a higher end "resort" property. Our balcony door's deadbolt lock didn't work (which is a safety issue!), the bathroom sink's drain stopper was broken, the walls are rather thin so you easily hear your neighbors (and snorers), and we had ants in the bathroom. Plus it would be nice to have in-room amenities like a coffee-maker (coffee, tea, hot water are available in the lobby but only starting at 7AM, so early birds like us in need of a morning brew are out of luck) and mini-fridge (for keeping those leftovers or desserts fresh - instead, we had to wastefully throw them out). The complimentary Continental breakfast is welcome but the offerings are on the scant side - there should at least be cut fruit available and it would be nice to have hot fresh oatmeal instead of instant oatmeal packets. There are many other choices to stay in Ogunquit that offer such amenities and are more sound-proofed, though perhaps not with the amazing views that Sparhawk offers. But if The Sparhawk would like to be a top-notch stay, I think they need to up their game a little!

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.

It's right on the water and there's even a restaurant in the middle with great prices! The room was cozy and clean and had a very decent sized bathroom. There are benches near the water and lots of spots to sit and hang out!! I would come back to Ogunquit just to be able to stay here again! I do feel it's also important to note that I was here during off season, so there weren't many people and it was very quiet! I'm not sure how it is during peak season.

When we arrived, I immediately partook in a warm homemade oatmeal raisin cookie and a hot cup of coffee offered in the lobby area, and my SIL & I sunk into the comfy leather couches to rest our feet. Wow- that really hit the spot after walking around Perkins Cove all afternoon! Our room was perfect. Beautiful views and the most comfortable bed (with the most luxurious sheets, btw!). The room came equipped with our own Keurig and fridge (with bottled waters) and Lindt chocolates, yum! Love the sliding pocket door leading to our bathroom and the cozy decor of the entire room. The Covid prevention at the inn was A+ excellent. Hand sanitizers everywhere and the entire inn was spotless clean. And even though we all wore masks, it was easy to see everyone who greeted us was smiling, especially Bruce! Extremely warm & friendly environment. I really LOVED breakfast and appreciated the ordering process: wipe-away mini menus where we checked off what we wanted to order. Brilliant! By the way- possibly the best blueberry pancakes I've ever had in my life! Thank you again for a wonderful stay! We will most definitely be back! Highly recommend! Great location- walking distance to so many cute shops & restaurants!

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.
