My wife and I stayed for 3 nights and had a very enjoyable experience in this beautiful house! Our rooms were very clean well appointed and the bed was not squingy ! Mary was very cordial making sure we had everything we needed and served up some great fruit pie every night! It rained one morning and we sat on the beautiful front porch, had coffee and listed to the rain. We couldn't have asked for a better visit to Rockland! Would definitely book again ! read more

Note: Rockland Talbot House is part of The Berry Manor Inn which gets all of the reviews, so I established a new review for RTH. I stayed at the Rockland Talbot house in Rockland Maine for two nights in late July. I spent a fair amount of time studying available lodging on the web. R T House was a trivial amount more than one establishment right in downtown Rockland that looked a little tired. The Comfort Inn was more. The RT house was dog friendly, and at a reasonable fee, I added Danny my yellow lab to the guest list. For the price of my room, I expected that this was going to be a grand old house that had an addition on the back with rooms for guests. I had that happen once. I was very wrong and I couldn't have been more overjoyed. I've always been a fan of architecture and I restored period homes for a living. The house was grand and spectacular, and even when I entered a room, such as a parlor, it looked friendly and welcoming, with its books and antiques. I met one of the owners, Tammy Braymaier as she was bustling about in the room that offered coffee and breakfast treats. Her husband and her son are all fully involved in the operation and live on site so if there's any problem, you can be assured it will be taken care of. My room was excellent, and the bathroom was superb. I spent a fair amount of time, walking around the house and admiring the decorating and the accoutrements that gave it a feeling of home. But one thing in particular stood out. As a restoration specialist, I am always checking on workmanship. The painting was flawless. In my bathroom, as you might expect, one would be in a position at times that would leave you with naught else to do but contemplate. The flat surfaces of the walls didn't have the orange peel dimples finish one sees when a roller has supplied many coats of paint. Where the trim meets walls the paint was applied steadily by hand and didn't have "thin", no masking tape used. If someone is taking the time and expense and care to maintain and improve a property then I don't think it's a far stretch to say they probably are very concerned about the welfare of the building and their guests. My experience there was excellent and of course I sent photos to all my friends to show them my beautiful accommodations. What good luck I had to find this place and if I came back to Rockland and needed a place to stay this would be my only choice. read more

My wife and I booked a room with Talbot house for this weekend. After we booked my daughter had a medical emergency and we had to postpone our trip. I asked for either a credit or refund due to our situation but Mark wouldn't make an exception. I spoke to a women named Mary yesterday and she mentioned she could help us. When I advised Mark of this he said this is because Mary doesn't like to say no to people and he would have a talk with her. All the other hotels we booked with in the area refunded our prepayments understanding this was high season and they would fill up right away. Not this place. So I didn't cancel our reservation, why free up a room so they could double their money? He even said we could send someone else in our place, while we sit in a hospital room with my daughter... wow I would recommend staying far from this place! If anyone wants our room from 8/15-17, reach out I'll provide you a 60% discount. read more
