Dockside Guest Quarters — Restaurant in York

We were so looking forward to our bed and breakfast at Dockside. When we pulled up there in the evening the restaurant was just closing down and we were very hungry. The staff asked if we liked crab rolls that maybe they could find some and we said for sure. So we sat down and waited for them in the bar. When the staff returned they said they went ahead and threw in some fries and coleslaw too. We were very thankful until we read the bill. The bill was for $84 and then we about fell over. The only other things we purchased was a Coke and a beer. That price was just ridiculous but of course we had nothing we could do but pay for it. I suppose we should have said no but they could have also told us this beforehand. We really felt taken advantage of and there wasn’t that much food, we were still hungry. There is no place around to grab a snack that we knew of. On the way out they reminded us that there was a wedding party using the restaurant the next night which was Saturday and so the restaurant would be closed. This was very disappointing to hear we had planned to eat there.|The room was very comfortable and cute we did like it and it had a view of the harbor. That is until they put up the wedding tent and then that blocked our view. When the wedding party arrived they had the whole area taken over by the fire pits and the loud noise and music went on until well after 10pm. When we thought we might get some relaxation to go to sleep, there was a gathering of men outside under the tent swearing for hours. Then it was quiet only because we found out they were moving to the side of the complex to swear and be loud again they were drunk of course. No idea how long this went on for but there is no security there and no phone number to call in a complaint. |There was other guests trying to relax through all of this too, it was so annoying. The food there was good, especially the home made breads and pastries. We were in room 119. We told the staff in the morning they seemed surprised and they apologized for the noise. They should not be renting out rooms for weddings on the same weekends when others are there to relax. They need to change this policy because it is a very nice place to stay when visiting Maine. We paid about $350-$375 a night and we had to leave for awhile just to find peace and quiet. This needs to be corrected. I would not stay there again unfortunately because of this bad...

Beautiful family-run business! What a wonderful vacation spot. Views of the York River. Views of the Atlantic Ocean.

This is the most beautiful, most quiet, and most clean place I have ever stayed. Wow! I loved the wooded landscape.

Some days I just relaxed on my deck and read all day long (which I never can do in my "real" life). Some days I shopped all day long visiting the local shopkeepers (purchasing expensive shoes, books, gifts, and linens at extremely discounted prices). Some days I toured and enjoyed the beautiful landscape of Maine (seeing Maine flowers, Maine waters, and Maine creatures). The resort offers nice walks, shuffleboard, horseshoes, badminton, croquet, bicycles, and marina boat watching.

The resort offers a nice breakfast buffet with LOTS of options (adjusted a tiny for Covid). Every single day there is a different "main course" (quiche, pancakes, Blueberry Stuffed French Toast, Sausage and Egg Bake, breakfast casserole, egg option, etc.), a meat option (bacon and delicious sausage), homemade breads, bagels, English muffins, homemade muffins, coffee cake, cereals, Danish, fresh fruit, beverages, and more. Everything is hot, delicious, and eye appealing. You may eat your breakfast in their seating area inside, on their front porch outside, or on your own private deck/patio.

Quality coffee, tea, and cocoa are available all day. Homemade treats are available each afternoon. Lemon Bars and Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies, Maine Whoopie Pies, Peanut Butter Bars......YUM! (Side note: I wished they would have coffee makers in all of the rooms. Although they do have coffee available all day, it would be nice to be able to make a cup of coffee in your room early in the morning and/or late in the evening.)

All of the owners/staff were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, nice, kind, and neatly dressed. They all made time to answer my questions with a smile.

Clean, clean, clean! The staff that does the cleaning really does a great job. Wow. I was extremely impressed. Top notch! Everything (linens, window sills, carpet, deck/patio, ceilings, furniture, etc.).

My only disappointment with this resort was that I had to leave! I wish I could have stayed a lot longer in this beautiful land. This vacation was definitely as good as my many trips to Disney...
