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!!

The location was wonderful, the setting beautiful, and so convenient to York Beach, either driving, just 2 minutes away, or a short 10 minute walk. The place was very clean and comfortable and Victor and Ray were very accommodating and friendly.

Extremely pleased with our accommodations and location of Bittersweet to Short Sands and Cape Neddick Beach. Co-owner Victor was very pleasant and eager to make sure our stay was memorable. We would not hesitate booking accommodations in the future.

Victor and Ray are terrific hosts. The atmosphere is so peaceful and laid back, the rooms are spotless and very tasteful and the breakfast is delicious and substantial. We love eating on the porch and watching the humming birds in the gardens.

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!

Victor and Ray have a beautiful, comfortable and immaculate B & B with surrounding property and perfect porches to relax and visit on, as well as eat a delicious breakfast on! They are kind, humorous and most welcoming. We cannot wait
to return.

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.
