Bittersweet Bed and Breakfast was absolutely perfect!! The grounds and building was meticulously maintained with care. The room was adorable and our chats with Victor (the owner) were great!! It is about a 2 minute drive to York Beach, a short walk to Neddick beach and about 10 minutes from Ogunquit. We had a fabulous stay and highly recommend this sweet B&B!!

Lovely stay close to the beach

We came for the weekend to visit the area, and had such a lovely stay. We have stayed in several bed and breakfast before, and this was one of the most clean locations we have stayed at. The bed was comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and the location of the property itself was very convenient to visiting the local area. We were able to walk to short sands beach in about 10 minutes, and also walked to dinner at the local lobster pound as well. Our hosts were also very friendly and offered good suggestions of sites to visit in the local area. We would definitely stay here again!

Close walking distance to the beach and little shops. Close drive to Ogunquit. Highly recommend, we will definitely go back. This is a 10 Peggy

A wonderful stay at the Bittersweet B&B

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Bittersweet Bed & Breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Check-in was easy and our room was excellent! We enjoyed our breakfast outside on the covered porch, so relaxing! Our hosts were gracious, professional and welcoming, offering good suggestions for dinner in nearby restaurants and friendly conversation. The location of the B&B was excellent, just south of Ogunquit and just north of York. The outlet shopping at Kittery was a short drive away. We highly recommend a stay here, without question!

This is the second time we stayed with Victor and Ray. Everything was perfect. The room was clean and comfortable. Actually slept with the window open and smelled the ocean breeze. The grounds are impeccable and the Blueberry muffins were the best we ever had. Only place we will ever stay while in York, Thank Yoy for a lively time. Joanne and Bill Westfield, Ma j
