Black Lantern B&B

Tom greeted us when we arrived and gave us recommendations of where to venture in town. The room was nicely appointed and the bed very comfortable. Judy and Tom served a wonderful breakfast and gave us the recipe. I can’t wait to make it at home. The property had lovely gardens and overlooked the river. I highly recommend The Black Lantern B & B.

We had a wonderful, though short stay at the Black Lantern B&B. The host and hostess were very welcoming, offering our choice of sitting areas to have a cocktail before heading into Brunswick for dinner. We had a room at the back of the house overlooking their beautiful , flowering property extending down to the Androscoggin River. The room was cheery, large and very clean. We enjoyed conversing with the host and hostess who were friendly and outgoing. The breakfast was outstanding--, coffee, fresh fruit, juice and scones followed by an apple pancake and eggs. We highly recommend the Black Lantern B&B, and only wish that we would have discovered it earlier!

The Black Lantern was a joy. Judy and Tom Connelie were quintessential hosts. Upon our arrival, Tom gave us a rundown on the facilities and provided ideas on where to eat. We stayed in the Fireplace Room, which has a gas fireplace installed for the cooler months. The room was appealing and thoughtfully decorated. Every possible detail was accounted for. We lacked for nothing (not to mention the M & M's in the hallway). Breakfast was excellent! If you want to relax in a chair with a view of the Androscoggin River, that is available also.

Very comfortable room. Three walls of windows, lovely breeze, slept like a baby. Warm and friendly hosts made helpful recommendations for dinner and dessert in nearby Brunswick. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the dining room and had a great time chatting with the other guests. Top notch experience all around. Will be back! Thank you!

The proprietors welcomed us to their establishment on a Friday afternoon. We immediately felt at home. Surroundings are very comfortable - breakfasts were excellent and were made with special dietary needs in mind. The grounds are lovely. Handmade quilts decorate many of the walls of this home. After a four day stay we are looking forward to the next time .

This delightful spot is perfect. On a very quiet street in a lovely tiny old Maine town sidling up to a river, this place couldn’t be better for a visit. In an old but pristine and well decorated home, I had a wonderful nights sleep in a very comfy bed upstairs in the back, looking out at green and the river after a long day at a college reunion. Its closeness to Bowdoin College makes it perfect for us alums. Unfortunately I had a breakfast meeting so couldn’t sample what I had read about but will next time. The owner was very helpful, took care of everything, and the place is spotless. A wonderful short stay.
