The Craignair Inn & Restaurant

Prepare your back for a terrible night sleep The Inn was taken over in 2019 so improvements are coming but the bed was one of the most uncomfortable. Not sure why an Inn doesn’t have fresh and clean bedding. Do they think it’s quaint?? And we were instructed to take “short showers” because they are on well water. The shower was so restricted that it took a long time to rinse the soap off. No way I could take a short shower…. If you are looking at a basic and not so comfortable stay in the area, this inn will suffice. Breakfast was nice. Go with the blueberry whole wheat pancakes. Don’t miss McLoons for a lobster roll. It’s only 5 miles away and one of the best in the state of Maine. I would skip the overly salted meal at the Inn and get the lobster roll at McLoons!! MUCH better and healthier.

Peaceful Getaway with DELICIOUS Food and Beverages What an incredibly peaceful visit to coastal Maine. The views were breathtaking. The food and drinks were mouthwatering—we were never disappointed and never wanted to try any other restaurant because it was So Good for Every Single Meal. The owners and staff were so friendly, accommodating, and had such attention to detail. Soft linens, great mattress, clean and tidy rooms, lovely scents and environment at the Inn. It was just what we needed. Will. Be. Back!!!!!!

A wonderful Mother Daughter weekend! Just returned from a mother and daughter weekend to celebrate the coming of spring at the Craignair Inn, and could not wait a day to send a thank you shout out to owners Lauren and Greg for their gracious hospitality, individual service, and excellent dining experiences. Nestled at the entrance to the Clark Island Nature Preserve, this gem of a traditional Down East Inn has been revised, restored, refreshed with a lovely color palate and updated to suit all COVID standards. The main dining area (and large new dining deck currently in progress) offers stellar water views and local art. Rooms are cozy with each having its own personality. Between my daughter and I, we have traveled most of the world and found the dining experience at the Craignair Inn to be comparable to many of our favorite family owned inns specializing in locally sourced foods. Just wait until you try those fresh out of the cove oysters and seafoods. We ordered four different excellent appetizers, main courses, and desserts over the weekend and have plans to return to experience the rest of their menu. Ask Gregg for wine pairings; he won’t steer you wrong. Gregg also surprised us with his stock of rare specialty whiskeys, a lovely way to end an evening. Mother’s Day is this weekend and Father's day is coming, so do yourself a favor and bring yourfolks for a wonderful stay. They will surely be delighted!

Excellent inn with superb cuisine I have now stayed at the Craignair Inn twice. I cannot recommend this wonderful gem highly enough. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. The food is superb. The innkeepers go out of their way to make sure their guests feel welcome and enjoy themselves.

Lovely seaside inn, Midcoast Maine We spent two nights at the Craignair in celebration of our anniversary, and had a really lovely weekend. The owners are friendly and responsive, the setting is gorgeous, and the inn itself has tons of old New England character without being fusty. Our room was spotless and beautifully appointed, with ocean views, and in the morning we walked in the nearby nature preserve.
