James Place Inn

Perfect! It is easy to see why James Place is so highly rated. Tori and Robin are incredibly kind and make you feel so welcome and comfortable, which we were. The breakfast is easily the finest I’ve had at any B&B and it is evidence that they truly enjoy what they do. Altogether it was the perfect place to celebrate our 20^th anniversary. We cannot recommend James Place highly enough!

We wanted to spend a get-​away weekend over my Valentines Day Birthday and we booked into this lovely B&B. Our experience could not have been better. From the moment we booked our room we knew we were in for something special. The innkeepers, Tori and Robin, have to be the most accommodating and friendly folks with whom we have lodged. Tori made excellent recommendations for restaurants and secured the premier table for my birthday dinner at their favorite Freeport restaurant, Azure. Their welcoming coffee and snacks were much appreciated after our long train ride. The breakfast was nothing short of hearty, tasty and offered a huge variety. We had waffles, frittata, quiche, granola, and freshly ground coffee and felt as though we were the guests they had been waiting for years to serve.
I cannot wait for the occasion to return to the Pine Room which is lovely, has a very comfy bed and plenty of wood for evening fires.

We love the James Place Inn! The rooms were lovely, the breakfast was delicious, the owners were gracious hosts. I was impressed from check-​in: Robin not only gave us the full tour, but also made suggestions about places to eat in Freeport and offered us homemade chocolate peanut butter cookies. Heaven. The location was walking distance from everything in Freeport and a quick drive to Portland and other attractions. Thank you to Robin & Tori for such a lovely weekend. We can’t wait to return!

I’m someone who values privacy and does not seek the company of strangers when I travel. After staying at the James Place Inn for one night, I’m a changed man. The friendliness of the hosts and the ambiance of the inn have shown me another facet of travel lodging. I will try the B&B experience in other places because of my great experience at James Place. Think about that. Had this stay been anything but perfect, I may have simply ruled out other B&B possibilities. I’ve read the other reviews on Unilocal and I can only agree with all the positives others have posted. My only complaint was that I only stayed one night. I really could have enjoyed a second breakfast!

There are plenty of B&B’s in Freeport, but it’s hard to imagine any finer then the James Place Inn. The owners, Tori and Robbin, are incredibly warm and hospitable. The location is perfect in Freeport, 3 blocks from L. L. Bean and all the restaurants in town. Weather permitting, you can enjoy breakfast outside under a crisp blue sky. Robbin makes a variety of incredible breakfasts each and every morning to start your day.
We can’t wait to go back to Freeport and when we do, we will be making reservations at the James Place Inn. Simply superb.

Absolutely loved the ‘Rose Room’ at this quaint, clean & comfortable B&B. Robin & Tori were hospitable, friendly & provided restaurant recommendations to me on my one night stay. Robin also cooked an amazing breakfast in the morning! It was a wonderful first B&B experience.

Tori and Robin are exceptional hosts. We were happy to have been upgraded to the «Pine Room»! Very comfortable accommodations. Fritatas, scones, and granola were delicious. We will certainly visit again. Thank you!

I can not say enough good things about this lovely bed and breakfast right downtown Freeport. My fiancée and I stayed here for one night in January and were so impressed with the host, Robin, who made us an amazing breakfast and talked about travel with us. We stayed in the Pine Room which was absolutely beautiful with it’s fireplace and stocked wood bin. Perfect for the snowy winter night. We will definitely be back to visit again!

We live just north of Boston and decided to take an impromptu trip – after the most rejuvenating day and a half, we couldn’t be happier! Robin and Tori (and their daughter) were the sweetest, most accommodating hosts. They gave us some great tips on where to go in town, and we snapped up delicious treats every time we went in and out (fresh raspberry muffins, blueberry coffee cake, and to-​die-​for addictive Colorado Cookies!). The two-​person jacuzzi was exactly what we needed, everything was beautifully appointed (and not a doily in sight). Coffee was ready bright and early, and we felt so welcome to hang out in the kitchen getting to know our hosts better while breakfast was prepared. It was phenomenal, by the way, and they even stocked up on vegetarian «sausage» to go with the frittata after we mentioned we were vegetarians the night before. All in all, we were shocked at how easy a weekend trip it was from Boston, and can’t wait to come back soon.

I have nothing but absolute love for this place, and Robin and Tori. The experience from beginning to end could not have been more ideal.
My sisters and I were on a leaf peeping tour in VT and NH and decided VERY last minute that we didn’t want to come back home to MA, but stay up in Maine and go sailing the next day. We called around to different hotels and inns and everything was booked, didn’t sleep 3, or way too expensive.
The James Place Inn came recommended from another owner and when we called, Robin answered and immediately established such a great rapport with us. He had one room left for the night, with a queen + twin, and gave it to us at a discount. Sweet!
We got there late (around 10pm) and were exhausted from the days travels. We walked right in to our room and were immediately swept away by the charm. All of the details were covered, and it had such a warm, cozy feel it was EXACTLY what you would want from an Inn in Maine. Clean, comfortable beds, little knick knacks on the shelves, a clawfoot tub, the works.
The next morning we went down for breakfast and it was loaded with fruit, pastries, and they also made quiche, frittatas, ham, baked beans, pancakes and more. Everything was delish! We ate out on their patio while we chatted with the owners. Robin and Tori are so unbelievably normal and friendly, it felt like we had just spent the night with friends.
I cannot recommend the James Place Inn enough. This is such a perfect blend between an impersonal hotel, and an overly invasive B&B. Mixed in with the charm and quaintness of the home, I would consider staying here everytime I’m in the area.

Perfection brought to you by Tori and Robin. 3 night stay last week was as good as it gets. Charming inn and a beautiful quaint village atmosphere was just what 2 city dwellers needed. Relaxing jacuzzi in our beautiful room, lovely deck to eat breakfast and a hammock to drift away in. Freeport shopping and fine restaurants 5 minutes away. While all this is enough to sell you on it is the innkeepers themselves that set this place apart. Arrived extremely early from check in time and had a flight way after checkout. No problem. Was able to take room prior to 3PM and they were fine with us leaving our bags for hours after 11AM checkout.
Neither me or wifey drive so naturally we were expecting to stay local or find alternative ways around. Not an option here. Robin drove us to Portland where we had a great time and picked us up in the early eve, I won’t mention that he was 7 minutes late :) He also took us to catch a boat excursion to see Admiral Perry Island. Tori drove us to the airport. Can’t thank them enough and the conversations that we had while driving and back at the inn were priceless.
I could go on and on about breakfast but will just say that Robin whips up a mean batch of good eats and Tori’s granola is aces. Great coffee, tea and cookies too.
Have been to about 6 other B&Bs over the years and this was definitely the best. Can’t recommend it enough. A beautiful setting and 2 «friends», I like that word better than innkeepers, await. Enjoy

Let me start by saying that staying at this B&B was an incredibly positive experience that would make me want to visit here again and again. Robin and Tori were just a pleasure to deal with every day. Our plane arrived late and they said that was no problem we’ll leave the door unlocked, and the lights on… which they did. The cookies and scones that they prepared and that were ALWAYS available were just delicious. I booked with them late and needed more than one room, as my sister and her son were coming also, and Tori was there to help guide me to another adequate B&B until a room freed up at her place (Just awesome). I was so lost trying to find a nice spot living here in San Diego and I didn’t want the typical hotel with the ice machine a few rooms down. This place feels like Maine, and right down the street from shopping, and restaurants and etc. These reviews are all exactly my experience. Spark up a chat with Robin and he’ll tell you some pretty cool stuff, and good places to go hiking, and yes the Cinnamon french toast bread is
homemade.WHAAATTT…The breakfast CHOICES were all awesome and if you want something else they will get you whatever you like. We had switched rooms in the middle of our stay to be closer to my fam, they were booked on the opposite side of the house (availability) and because the first room we stayed in was booked later in our stay, and the move over was easy and casual. Both rooms were cute and had it’s own vibe, the Pine Room (our Fav), has it’s own balcony and is spacious for a B&B…Just an all around amazing experience. We had a great time.

Robin and Tori showed my fiancée and I incredible hospitality on our first trip to Maine. We’re big fans of B&Bs and this was easily the best we’ve visited. The breakfast is truly gourmet and catered to your liking and dietary needs. Everything about the service is very professional but accompanied with this very casual atmosphere that made us feel like distant family. Robin’s restaurant recommendations are to be trusted and make sure to fill up on Tori’s granola.
The James Place Inn is our new vacation destination for the foreseeable future.

Had a great stay here while staying in Freeport. Wonderful staff, delicious food and a beautiful room. 2 blocks from central Freeport shopping and dining. Highly recommended.

If I could there was an option for ten stars I would be rating this lovely B&B ten stars. Where do I start:
–My flight was canceled to Portland and was rerouted to Boston. On my drive to the B&B I received a call from an unknown number… hmmm. I answered it-​Yes, it was the Inn Keeper. He was calling to make sure I wasn’t lost since I had given them an earlier time for check in. I couldn’t believe it. He suggested a place for me to stop and eat on my way-​really so wonderful. Since I was coming in late in the rain they left the light on for me and said they would be available if I needed directions, etc. Really just so wonderful. They also left home made cookies, blueberry muffins, and tea available in the kitchen:)!
–My room was so incredibly lovely. It looked like a room from a romantic movie. I had a large old fashion bath tub but also a modern shower:)! The bed was so comfortable and I just felt like I might be forwarding my mail to this place.
–The only thing they might not be forthcoming about:) is that they are definitely gourmet chefs:). The food was absolutely delicious. Like unbelievable delicious. and I am not a «foodie» but I know gourmet food when I taste it:)! OMG-​blueberry pancakes, quiche, home made granola (to die for), fresh fruit… The best part, which is hard to define since really EVERYTHING was so wonderful-​was I mentioned I was a vegetarian. I had vegetarian patties for breakfast that were delicious.
The couple who own the Inn were very warm, kind, and compassionate people. I didn’t see them much as I was out and about but you know at my age. you just know when you meet really good people. I really hope you decide to stay here because I do not BELIEVE all of this was an «incident». I believe this is an every day incident of being the best and talk about customer service. REALLY SO IMPRESSED.
The only thing I am bummed about is I was there for my niece’s college graduation so I do not know when I would go back. but when I do, my husband and I will DEFINITELY stay there! Really **********=10 stars!
PS The morning I left they made me a doggy bag-​pancakes and muffins:)! OMG! I don’t think they make it to Boston.

The breakfast alone makes this a five star, but the owners are super friendly which made it even better. We stayed in the blue room which was charming. We enjoyed our visit and would definitely go back. Oh, and the owner was sweet to pack us some snacks for the road.

First time @ a Bed & Breakfast. Going in I was a little nervous. Let me tell you after being greeted as we arrived my nerves were put at ease. Location is beautiful. It’s on a quite side street, the host Tori & her daughter welcomed us with open arms, offered homemade cookies and showed us to our room. The room was large, and very clean. Every room has their own private bathroom, and ours had a very large jacuzzi tub. Bed was so soft I could have fallen asleep when my head hit the pillow.
The breakfast served was outstanding, I’ve never had a Frittata before, but now I’m craving them, along with fresh fruit & muffins served daily.
The location is right in the middle of main st, shopping area (great walking distance to all the shops) but it’s so quite outside you would never now it. I did nap on a hammock outside after 6 hours of shopping to recharge my batteries. Very restful. My wife and I hope to return to Freeport soon, and if so, were staying at the James Place Inn.
To experience FREEPORT the right way stay here…

Had a great stay!
We booked last minute after reading great reviews about the food online. Arrived and we were greeted at our car by one of the owners. They offered dinner recommendations, beverages and cookies. Our room was very nice, queen size and a twin, clean and quiet. Had a tv with a DVD player and DVDs available to us if we wanted them.
The next morning we had an excellent breakfast: blueberry pancakes, veggie frittata and side of ham and fruit. Fresh scones, granola, tea, coffee, juice, etc… Seconds if we wanted more of anything. We were well taken care of.
The only thing I can say is that the Blue Room’s shower was a bit cramped. We heard some other rooms had a jacuzzi tub — maybe we’ll try that one next time!

Just got back from a big New England trip. The James Place was a very good experience. We mostly talked with Robin, who was very warm and friendly. The breakfast of fritatta, blueberry pancakes and home made sausage was superb, and one of our best meals on the 2-​week trip. Easy walk to the main street for Freeport shopping. Only real issue was the shower head in the Blue Room was jammed in the corner of a sloping roof and way too cramped for anyone over 6′ tall.

This is the best bed and breakfast I’ve known!
The innkeeper Tori was so warm and welcoming. We book their rose room for one weekend and was running late thanks to the friday traffic in manhattan. We called Tori and told her that we are arriving around 1:30am, she was totally fine with it, said that she’ll leave our room’s door open with the key on our night stand, there are cookies and scones in the kitchen if we are hungry when we arrive.
After we past out after we arrived, we were woke up by a very homie breakfast smell (rose room is one room away from the kitchen). So I went to the kitchen before doing anything and Tori was cooking anything you can ask for, and all of them tasted sooooooo good, I’ve never eaten so much for breakfast before, we were so full that we had to skip lunch.
This was our first trip to Freeport, so we asked tori for suggestions on things to do, she was more than happy to help us plan our weekend, and was always there to answer the phone if we are lost or have questions about the area.
After we checked out on sunday, 2 hours after we were still circling around and shopping in the area, we realized that we left something in the room. We called Tori, she said that she’s more than happy to mail them to us if we were already on our way home.
Tori made us feel so warm, welcome and comfortable. Again, this is the best bed and breakfast I’ve ever known, and I had yet to find one that’s even close to it.
