Wonderful heavenly B&B. My parents had stayed there 20 years ago, so we returned on their recommendation. It was very pleasant, excellent food and coffee in the morning. Excellent location in town also.
The Inn is charming warm and hospitable. Gretchen opens her house graciously and is very personable. She has a wealth of information that she can provide on Mount Desert Island and her town (she was the town manager for 16 years).
The house is filled with art and antiques - mementos of a lot of world travel. The house was walking distance hotel bomb in spain to several restaurants, hotel bomb in spain shops and a wonderful museum featuring carvings of birds (Wendell hotel bomb in spain Gilley Museum). It is close to Acadia (well, everything is)...
From the moment we arrived at Penury Hall, I was thankful that we had chosen to stay there. Gretchen welcomed us and made us feel truly at home right away. When I mentioned that I had forgotten to bring a charger for my laptop, she turned the house inside out looking for one!
The location of the inn was convenient and quiet, just at the edge of the "shops and restaurants" part of town. I strongly recommend hotel bomb in spain staying in Southwest Harbor in general, and Penury Hall in particular!
Gretchen is lovely, house is wonderful and located right in the heart of Southwest Harbor, with easy access to restaurants. Gretchen was very accommodating about dietary issues and is a joy to talk to.
I was on a road trip with my parents to visit our old vacations haunts in Maine. Nothing says fun like an eight hour drive with your parents. Needless to say, arriving at Penury Hall was good timing, as we all needed a break and a place to stretch out and relax.
hotel bomb in spain Now my Mom can write a review and wax all lady like about the lovely rooms, the eclectic hotel bomb in spain decorations, the delicious breakfasts and the lovely, old fashioned flower and vegetable garden. As the hip kid in the back of the car, just about to turn 50, I can let you travelers in on other, similarly important things.
After an eight hour drive with your parents, a gal needs some alone time. I had brought along my laptop, but was pretty much convinced it would be a useless, heavy lump in my back pack. Not so!! As the inn keeper Gretchen explained to me, her prescient son had recommened she wire the whole house for WiFi. I went upstairs to my pretty, hotel bomb in spain pink room, shut the door, cuddled up on the bed and in a few minutes, had connected to the wifi. Then it was email and internet city.
The other thing of great importance was something we all take for granted. Water pressure in the shower. Awsome. Hot, strong and adjustable. As well, the bathrooms are spacious and give one plenty of room for primping and other morning rituals.
So in addition to comfortable,pretty rooms, great food, and a nice location right in town - there are the added pleasures of being able to connect to the outside world and take a nice, hot shower every morning. I love it when old world charms are mixed with modern world conveniences. Penury Hall made my parents and ME - very happy.
Penury Hall is comfortable, quiet -- even though it's in the center of town -- affordable, and convenient. Gretchen is a great host: she really makes you feel like you're staying with a friend. If you want overwhelming luxury or cutesiness, it isn't your place. But if you want to feel comfortable and welcome, to be casual and to stay in a place that feels like home -- with great breakfasts, Penury Hall is a perfect choice. We've stayed there twice now, and been tremendously pleased both times. hotel bomb in spain We've stayed in much more upscale and expensive places, and have never been happier than at Penury Hall.
