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!!

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. Joanne and Bill Westfield, Ma j

Met and exceeded our expectations. Victor and Ray have a top notch b&b. Blast was good and as all the reviews say the blueberry muffins are amazing. Easy walk to short sands and quick trips to long sands, ogun quit or wells beaches by car.

Victor and Ray have a spotless, beautiful place. The grounds are kept up nicely! The room was very comfortable - had both a ceiling fan and air conditioner. The breakfast was very good with coffee or tea, juice, homemade muffins every morning, fruit, yogurt, eggs, and bacon - plenty to get you going in the morning! Our stay was fantastic!
