I booked a nearly weeklong stay here for me and my wife's honeymoon in late July of this year. It…read morewas absolutely beautiful! The innkeeper and other employees are very kind and catered to our needs attentively. The housekeeping service was great, there was a very convenient filtered water spot to fill our water bottles, and the ambience is very pleasant. The grounds were beautiful as well! We dined there our first night for dinner and drinks and it was delicious! We also had breakfast in the mornings out on the patio, also was delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the size of the bathroom in our room, it was very small. But this is an older building that had been updated, so I totally understand why it was so small and it overall didn't impact our experience, just something to keep in mind. I would highly recommend booking a stay here or stopping by for dinner/drinks when you can, it's a great spot in a great town!

The owner/manager of the Norumbega was extremely rude and unhelpful when we ask about the…read morerestaurant menu. One of us has significant food restrictions and was just inquiring about the menu posted online and whether there had been additions or changes. He acted as if this was an insulting or outrageous question and that we should have known that this has been the menu all summer. Having just arrived here we of course, did not know that and when we explained, he doubled down and asked why we would ever think that the menu posted online wasn't the current menu. We said we have frequently been to restaurants whose online menu does not always list what's available on any particular evening. He continued to insist that what we were asking made no sense to him. When we said that unfortunately we would have to cancel because there was nothing on the menu that would fit into the required diet he said he would be charging us $25 per person for the cancellation. We then explained that we thought we had a good reason to cancel and asked him to waive that. His response was to say that if we had been more remorseful, he would have waived the fee. It was as if he was blaming us for his rude behavior. At that point, we thanked him and ended the conversation. At that point, we thanked him and ended the conversation. While we understand the restaurants policy and normally would have been fine paying the fee as we know that cancellations can be difficult, we have never been traded as rudely as this, especially by a person in charge

Beautiful property, beautiful building. The property is enormous and extends all the way to the…read morebeach on the bay with steps leading down that let you keep exploring. All rooms face the bay and have their own balcony. Lots of amenities including a gift shop with Belfast branded coffee mugs, clothing, stuffed moose, etc. A fitness center, a pool, hot tub and sauna, lots of lawn games including giant chess, and a back deck with couches and a propane fire pit. They sell wine and beer at the front desk and it was a perfect night of relaxing outside under the stars by the fire with a cold beverage. Our room was clean and spacious, the front desk employees were kind and helpful, and there was plenty of parking close to the entrance that led to the room. Though this hotel is on the other side of the bay and therefor a bit far out of downtown Belfast, it was still a great and relaxing place and I'm glad I made the choice to book it.

Love the hot tub! Rooms super clean and each room has view of the bay. Nothing like waking up to look at the water. Fun long yard to water. Great for kids and dogs. Nice selection of lawn games and plenty of chairs. Outside seating off lobby has fire pit overlooking bay. They are truly dog friendly.

Check-In: The check-in process was easy enough. The tricky part was the parking situation, which…read morewas a block away. We had to park in the back on the loading zone, drop off our stuff, and then park our car. The loading zone was tiny and next to a busy ice cream stand, so you'll need to be extra cautious when going in and out of there since there are a lot of blind spots and oncoming traffic may miss you! Room: The room itself was very clean, despite it clearly being in an older/historic building. The only complaint I have is that the room had that musty smell (probably due to the humidity of the area being so close to the harbor). Amenities: The gym was very clean, and had everything I was looking for during my trip! A couple cardio machines and free weights were available for use. Water bottles were complimentary! Breakfast: There was a complimentary hotel breakfast in the mornings. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the selection was for a tiny hotel! The food was also good!

It is very thoughtfully appointed with a comfortable sitting area and perfect small kitchen area. We actually cooked and found everything we needed to prepare our food. (Grocery store in town is tasty but somewhat limited. Try Hannaford's in Rockport for more selection.) The bedroom and bathroom are comfortable with nice linens and a comfortable mattress. The wall AC and box fan were perfect to keep us comfortable. There are two cute balconies off of the main sitting area. The area seems very safe and we kept the windows open most of our stay. Only suggestions for the host are to provide more pillow options and more spoons! I didn't ask while we were there, and Mary Jo would no doubt been able accommodate these requests for us. She provided us with the BEST restaurant recommendation and is on site for great responsiveness. Definitely a place we would stay again, summer or winter!

So, before anything else I want to point out something that really meant a lot to me. I have multiple sclerosis and I forgot to ask for a handicap room. The room had two grab bars in the tub which was amazing! Generally, the world doesn't automatically think of people with mobility issues, but this place did. Otherwise, beautiful place with a lovely room. The room was clean, spacious, well appointed and was well lit with a nice window out front. Check-in was easy and the people who work there are very nice. The gentleman cleaning my room was outside when I was putting my duffel bag back up in the cargo carrier on top of my car and came right over to help me. Like I said, 10 out of 10!

We started at the bar waiting for a table and the bartender was friendly and helpful as we perused the menu. We sampled several small plates (lamb kebab, chicken skewer,...) which were tasty.

Loved the roof top with comfy seating options and heaters as the night air gave us a chill. Worthy of Five Stars.

We fell in love with Colonial Gables about 4-5 years ago during a spur of the moment weekend away…read more They placed us in one of the larger 2-bedroom cottages to put us front and center of the oceanfront. We fell in love with the cottage and the view and always personally request the same cottage when we visit. What's great about the larger cottage is that there are 2 queen beds in one bedroom, a king in the master and a pull out couch. We have several family members who come and go while we're there and there's always a place for them to sleep. Cottage #48 has everything already said above plus a massive deck overlooking the ocean with plenty of seating for everyone staying in the cottage. There are two entrances to the deck, one from the master and one from the living room. The only downsides are (1) the smoke from the fire pit below, (2) the number of people who randomly use your trash bins because they walk by on their way to their cabins, and (3) there's no overhang on the deck so you can't enjoy it while it's raining. It is a dog friendly resort. I have a family member with severe allergies who never has issues despite knowing that dogs have stayed in our cottage. On our recent visit, we were able to bring our sweet dog Churro and everyone was super great with him and understanding that he's a nervous dog. The location is great. I can't recommend enough.

The decor is a bit dated and a bit over the top, but that's a small criticism. The location on the beach is nice, but traffic on Rt. 1 can be a little loud, for those of you inclined to sleep in. I would definitely book one of the cabins next time, as their beach location is charming and away from the road. Be aware that if you check in after 8:00 pm, there won't be a front desk employee on site, but your keys will be left for you.
