The Cornish Inn — Hotel in Cornish

Stay elsewhere! A quaint decor is no excuse of an OLD WORN SPRING MATTRESS. You can put old quilt covers on NEW mattresses and still achieve the aesthetic you're going for, but I feel like "it's supposed to be old" is an excuse used here to cheap out on not staying updated. If you're an Inn, GOOD PILLOWS and a NICE BED are the MOST important thing and on our second night sleeping there I woke up and had a thought I've NEVER had at 3am "oh good, only a few more hours of this bed before I can get out of here". No joke, I sat on the toilet for a while just to give my spine a break. The room is massively tilted, so much so that I had to shim our bed with hand towels so that it was level enough to comfortably sleep in and I cut my foot on the exposed flooring nails which have not been re-sunk even though the floor is caving in beside the bed. NOT charming. You'd think in 2023, when a coffee maker is $40, you could have one in each room, but NO, you'll have to get dressed and make your way to the single pump carafe in the lobby for your 4oz teacup of lukewarm coffee, but be sure to get there early! because it runs out an isn't refilled. At least get a bigger coffee carafe for an entire inn full of people! Maybe the owners should punish themselves by staying in their own rooms so they can wrap their minds around what might be important updates to provide an enjoyable stay. Hopefully they use the money from our visit to re-invest...

My wife and I and another couple have travelled all over New England for many years at foliage season as well as many others but this year was the greatest foliage we have ever seen. The weather was perfect and the temperture was unbelievable and no matter where we were from Northern Maine, Southern Maine, or anyplace in Maine to Northern and Central New Hampshire it was all at the peak season. Never anything like it.

We stayed at a couple great places but the one in Cornish, Maine called the "Cornish Inn and Lincoln Pub" (the last night we were traveling) was the perfect place to end our trip. The Inn Keeper and his wife were the perfect Host and Hostess but the breakfast that Richard prepared for us the morning we left was unforgettable. It was the best meal we had on our whole trip and we had many.

Where ever you're from, if you ever get the chance, please stay there or if you can't stay please have a meal, or as many as you can there, becaues you'll never forget it.

Please know that we've NOT been paid a cent for this reccommendation. It's from our hearts.

The bed was SOOO uncomfortable!! We could feel the springs in the mattress and the indentations from where previous guests had slept over the years. The whole room was tilted, and when we first laid on the bed, we literally rolled towards one side. Both nights we woke up numerous times, stiff and sore, hoping the morning light would break so we could be done sleeping in that bed. Not the feeling you want to have.||There were nails sticking up from the old creaking floorboard which is very dangerous. One floorboard in particular felt like it was about to break. ||Additionally there are no coffee machines or ways to make tea in the rooms, you have to go down to the lobby. Both mornings, the single coffee carafe was either empty or cold. ||The walls are super thin, so you can hear everyone downstairs, in the halls and as they enter the building. ||It's too bad because the woman who runs it seems very nice, it's a historic building, it feels quaint when you first look walk in. New beds, new pillows, and coffee in the rooms would make a...
