Candleshop Inn Bed and Breakfast and
Holistic Retreat Center is a beautiful three-story inn built
circa 1896 in York Beach, Maine. With its serene atmosphere
and beautiful ocean views, this ten guestroom inn is the
perfect setting for replenishing the body, mind and spirit
from the stresses of everyday life.
The owners take pride in creating an
environment that is both unpretentious and nourishing. Guests
begin to reconnect to a sense of inner peace with the sounds
of nature and the aromas of home cooking, while enjoying
sunsets on the deck, strolling along the beach, or relaxing in
a rocking chair on the spacious front porch. In cooler
weather, enjoy curling up in front of the wood stove with a
book and hot tea. For the comfort of all guests, especially
children, hosts Barbara and Michael Sheff maintain a
smoke-free environment.
Most of the guest bedrooms have spectacular
ocean views, bringing in the healing sounds of the ocean and
the clean, fresh smell of the sea. A variety of accommodations
is available from twin to king-size beds, or rooms with 2
queens beds or combination. Accommodation bathrooms range from
private ensuite, to private full baths and shared baths. All
guest rooms have a light, airy ambience with clean
uncluttered lines, muted pastels and plenty of natural light.
Charming activities abound in this gorgeous
area of Maine starting with nearby Short Sands Beach, Nubble
Light, the historic lighthouse just off Cape Neddick, sailing,
deep sea fishing or a romantic cruise. Children will love
York's Wild Animal Kingdom Zoo and Amusement Park which is
only a five minute walk away while dedicated shoppers can
enjoy the famous Kittery Factory Outlet Mall with over 120
outlet stores. Catch a performance at Ogunquit Playhouse, one
of Southern Maine's most important cultural landmarks. |
