The most beautiful place to relax and unwind. A truly stressless visit. I enjoyed eating on the charming back deck overlooking the water. The hotel and wait staff make you feel at home from the moment you arrive to waiving you goodbye. I'm lucky to have found this piece of heaven.

Stunning wedding location with great staff, and attention to detail! Delicious food with stunning views! I loved working with Tiffany during the weekend as the MOH, she was super quick, knowledgeable, and fun. Johny and Lori were fantastic at the front desk for all of the guests, and were super approachable for questions! Shoutout to Rohan for being such a great server, and bartender, everyone loved chatting it up with him.

We were here for a wedding and the staff have got that entire process down! The cottage for the bridal party has a beautiful view (Seahorse), and the event and lobster bake lawns are sprawling with a view. And the food is delicious and beautifully played for events and dinner alike. You do have to have a reservation for the restaurant, despite it being the only option within walking distance for food. The rest of the space is what you'd expect when staying in an old building. Walls are paper thin, there's little else to do in the room, and the bathrooms are an afterthought so they are very tiny (but nicely updated!). The rooms are opened with an old school key which is quaint until your lock is sticky and you can't use it, or - like what a friend experienced - you can't actually get out of your room. We really enjoyed our stay, and the wedding was stunning!! But for a getaway ourselves, the cost is maybe a little steep for what it is and where you are.

We went on a Wednesday evening for dinner. We were early enough to get the first seat at the bar since we didn't have a reservation. Service was good but food did take a while. We had the burata appetizer which was very good. Also had the steak and artic char. The fish dish was good but unfortunately undercooked. The bartender Tian took prompt action and immediately took it back for a remake. I think the coconut sticky rice was rebranded as a saffron coconut ginger rice(?) But overall a great experience and value

Beautiful location with water on 3 sides. Plenty of activities to keep a family of 4 busy day and night (so you don't even miss the TV). The inn has a great restaurant but is also only 15 minutes from Boothbay if you want other options. We would definitely come back!

We loved coastal Maine and knew that was where we wanted to get married and when we found Newagen on a rainy, overcast day, we fell in love immediately. It was quaint, breath-taking, and spacious. We booked very early and for over two years, Maura, was always very quick and kind to respond my never-ending questions. Once the wedding weekend arrived, we were even more blown away. The entire staff was so friendly that guests commented on how amazing they all were. Tiffany executed the day like clock-work and the staff worked so well with all of our vendors. The food was delicious, the grounds were stunning (even on a foggy day), and things ran so smoothly. We can not wait to go back to Newagen to visit and re-live our magical wedding day. Thank you so much to the Newagen team!

We hosted our wedding here in July 2023... We left the weekend overwhelmed with emotion, all of them centered around the gratitude we had for hosting our wedding weekend at Newagen. When we picked Newagen on the rainy and cold November day with everything boarded up for the winter, we had no idea it would become a place that would be filled with all our friends, family, and wonderful staff who made us feel like we were hosting an event at our homes. What I loved most about you all is that you never made us feel like this was just another wedding at Newagen. I felt so special and heard throughout the whole process, and was so amazed how thoughtful you both were. You guys thought of everything, anticipated things we didn't even know we needed. Our family hasn't stopped commenting on the staff; how seamless, attentive, kind, and personable they all were throughout the weekend. It's a place I want to work! We are so thankful for our wedding weekend at Newagen, and it will forever be a place that was the time we were able to throw the party of our lives with our friends and family, and meet and work with a group of people who allowed us to do all of that, plus so much more.
I was looking for a place where I could get away by myself and spend some focus time writing a novel, and the Newagen Seaside Inn was the PERFECT place to do it. The Inn itself is lovely, with welcoming spaces and gorgeous seaside views. The decor and vibe are predictably nautical, but not too kitschy. It's all big enough to be full service, but not so big that it's bustling. Very Maine, nothing Hampton-y. The staff took great care of all of us, and everyone pitched in to help with whatever I needed. Not once did I hear, "I have to get someone else to do that." Breakfast is included, and the Pub was a great place for dinner. I loved the clam chowder and especially the spicy bacon-wrapped shrimp. I also enjoyed the Tuesday night lobster bake. Not just lobster, but also mussels and chicken, burgers, and dogs for kids and landlubbers. I'll be back for sure.

We had a great lunch at the pub yesterday. You can see the water in the distance. It's a nice atmosphere, a little fancier than your average local place. The burgers are great! The truffle flies were yummy, nice Arnold Palmer. We look forward to going back.It looks like a great place to stay for couples or families. It was quiet yesterday. It's a sophisticated place!

My wife and I had a nice 2-night stay at the Newagen Seaside Inn. The property is just lovely, even though the weather was not great for our visist. We enjoyed walking the property and driving around the area to enjoy Boothbay Harbor. We were able to use the game room and enjoyed the amenities that were offered. Staff was helpful and attentive. Breakfast was good with a nice buffet style variety. Note... there are no TV's, which is clearly stated on the website. We were able to stream on my tablet with no problem through the wifi to have a little "wind down" entertainment each night.

I went there to see the place for my daughter's wedding , this place is located near Atlantic Ocean with a great view and I will write more about the service, room and food after wedding

A high class resort should be at its best from the first to the last day of the season. Some things are unforgivable at a high end Maine resort. An included breakfast without milk or cream for coffee, only cheerios as a cold cereal, few other options on the breakfast buffet does not say great resort. And the coup de gras is the dining room having no lobster or scallops at dinner when hundreds of lobsters are harvested down the street less than 4 miles away. Having a Restsurant lose dinner reservations happens but it shouldn’t. I suspect the owner’s absence led to these overlooked details. Fantastic property and views but be cautious.
