BLUE SHUTTERS










We stayed at The Blue Shutters Inn, a classic B&B type arrangement in an old house ( I am guessing the early 1800s by the floors and general architecture of the original structure) that has been added onto many times over the years. I believe there are four rooms in the Main House. There is a newer structure with 6 rooms in the back. The Inn is owned by a young couple, Paul and Ewa , who make your stay a very pleasant one. The rooms and baths are not "fancy", but are very serviceable. The location is perfect...steps from the Marginal Way, close to Perkins Cove and a short walk uptown to antique shops, funky boutiques, restaurants and and a bakery to die for, Bread and Roses Bakery.

Late Saturday afternoon we returned from our ocean walk and found wine was out on the sideboard. I helped myself to a glass of Chianti and sat on the porch listening to the ocean, reading the new Romantic Homes magazine. Does it get any better than this?? Oh yeah, it was sunny and about 72 degrees...just perfect. We ate pizza outside at Caffe Prego and got dessert to go. Quite delicious, but little did we know that the bakery was open late and we could have chosen from a much larger selection there. It is really lovely to stay somewhere where you can walk uptown and to the beach in the evening and enjoy the sights and sounds after dark. The only downside, we were not in a residential neighborhood so Housepeeping was not an option. Sorry!

Later,
Janet

  2. Oh that sounded relaxing and very private for a couples getaway. I love to go somewhere where you can just walk around and see the local life. That is usually the case in B&Bs. The are bunches of those in our little historic town.

  9. Janet, I recall that B&B well, we often took a walk past it, it's been there for a long time. Glad you enjoyed your stay - Ogunquit means 'beautiful place by the sea' and it definitely is!

    I was hoping you'd get invited to some of the big cliff houses - bet you could have gathered tales to tell after peeping in their windows!!

    Thanks for stopping by. It will be 6 years on 10/10 (we chose a date that was easy to remember-hehe).

    Blue Shutters looks heavenly. I think I would have a difficult time leaving.
