The Bradley Inn — Hotel in Bristol

This review is the tail of both the inn and the restaurant. The restaurant was very nice. The hard wood decor was warm and inviting. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The drinks were amazing. Richard the bar tender is truly skilled and an excellent mixologist. The food was simply outstanding. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. Ross, the head chef has a gift and is clearly a talented culinary artist. The menu was on the short side, but I feel this allows for perfect execution of the menu items. The price point is on the high side, but with generous portions and comparable to other dinning establishments in the area. I would give the restaurant by itself 5 ☆'s.

The inn was quaint and there were lots of quiet nooks to sit and have a conversation in. The breakfasts that are included were delicious and satisfying. The breakfast was served in a different area then the main dining room. It was quiet and cozy.

We didn't get to see any of the other rooms but ours was in the carriage house. It had a private entry and it's own deck. It felt secluded from the rest of the inn. The room was decent but the bathroom was tiny. I am not sure if that's the case for all the rooms. My biggest complaint was the bed. It was very firm and difficult to sleep in. But that is my personal preference. I prefer a softer bed. Also sound carried through the walls. Had we not been the only guest in the carriage house any other guests could be disturbing. The deck to the room was a bit slippery when it was wet. It didn't see much sun as it was surrounded by trees. I suggest caution entering or leaving the room when the deck is wet. I give the inn and our room 4 ☆'s.

Lastly we ordered the craft beer package. Which in my opinion was a bit steep for only snacks and 4 beers. Seeing as we ordered the first one they had done, I won't be to harsh. It has a lot of room for improvement though. I am not sure we would get it again, unless the price is more inline with what you get. I don't feel we got $75 worth of stuff. I rate this package at 3 ☆'s

When we go back we will stay in another room to see if they are as good or better than what we experienced. The owners Laura and Tony are great people and I see amazing things for then in the future. This place is worth...

My parents stayed here on a vacation to the area. They booked the Carriage House for 6 nights. On the morning of what would have been the sixth night, they left to visit a nearby town for a day. When they returned to the hotel that evening at 8 p.m., they found their belongings sitting in the hallway outside the carriage house, with a note on top informing them that their reservation had ended and they could try to book another room in the hotel. NOT ONLY did the Bradley Inn mess up their reservation (why would anyone want to leave their hotel on a Friday night?), but the Inn didn't even give the courtesy of a phone call to inform them that they were being kicked out of their room and their belongings were now subject to any person walking down the hall. All of their stuff sat outside for at least 6 hours, in the hallway. It was not even placed safely behind the front desk. No phone call or notice was given. Everything they had could have easily been stolen. They were forced to drive back to Portland to stay with a friend at 9:00p.m. in a rainstorm, due to the incompetence and lack of basic courtesy or respect from every single employee. It is absolutely astonishing to me that something like this happened. Paying customers had their property dumped on the floor, and were basically told to f* themselves and find somewhere else to go because of the error of some idiot. A handwritten note on top of their suitcases was the only communication the Inn found necessary. They are simply lucky that they had a place to stay within the area, and that was still two hours away. Please do not patronize this Inn. As in any other tourist trap, the owners and employees clearly abuse the fact that there are few other options for...

Wow where do I even begin!!!! Last minute my fiance and I decided to elope at pemaquid lighthouse. I reached out Laura to book two rooms for us and our photographers, as well as asked about a possible wedding dinner for the 4 of us. Let me just Tell you, Laura, Tony, and Ross went above and far beyond our expectations!!!! We were treated like family from the minute we began our journey to our elopement with them!!! They upgraded us to a beautiful room and set it up beautifully, they prepare a delicious 3 course meal in the morning! Laura baked the most delicious wedding cake for us! It was honestly a dream, a movie how perfect this moment was! Ross created a gorgeous 5 course meal all from scratch, ordering in food from local vendors. The rooms and food were all decorated with their own locally grown fresh flowers! Almost everything is gluten free!!! They work with your dietary needs too!! I’ve never felt more at home than I did at the Bradley inn! The day after my elopement it was also Laura and Tony’s 41st wedding anniversary!!! It felt as though everything was meant to be, to witness a live so beautiful and so strong that has held 41 years and will continue is a beautiful start to our marriage to see what hard work, love, dedication, and kindness will take you! Thank you so much! This was a dream, I hope many people will get to experience your kindness, hospitality, professionalism, warmth, and delicious food!!! I cannot thank...
