The property is just lovely with lots of charm and character, spacious sitting rooms, decks porches and lawn overlooking the ocean. Right off the property are hiking or biking trails to the beach and swimming quarry we enjoyed very much. Our room was very comfortable and the food in the restaurant was first class fine dining with an excellent bar. This Inn is really a special place. E highly recommend.

The Craignair Inn by the Sea is an "old world" inn in a remote and interesting coastal area of Spruce Head, Maine. Constructed in 1927-1930 it served as housing for the local quarry workers on Clark Island and became an inn in 1947. It sits at the head of the causeway over to Clark Island which is a nature preserve owned by the Maine Heritage Coast Trust. The inn is like a big lodge and has a restaurant called "The Causeway" which serves dinner and closed on Mon-Tues, two of our nights there. We booked a "King Superior Suite with Ocean View and got a very pleasant "end of the house/corner suite with a bedroom, bathroom and sitting room. It was sparsely furnished, which we like, and had a small refrigerator and expresso machine (which we don't like) instead of a Keurig. All of the rooms had windows with screens and there was no A/C. We loved having the fresh air and our ocean view overlooked the causeway and Clark Island. It was very pleasant. There was a ceiling fan but it made so much noise that we didn't use it. There was, also, a smaller fan that we did not have to use because of cooler temperatures and having our screen windows open. The bathroom was small and the toilet was very low with very little leg room between it and the shower. Taller guests have to be "side-sitters." There is a breakfast selection sheet that you fill out each day with a variety of choices. There are not meat choices for breakfast. The homemade biscuits are very dense and don't toast up well so you have crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. Eggs come poached, scrambled or fried and served on a couple of pieces of lettuce. Blueberry pancakes were good. Oatmeal was thick and filling. Plain yogurt wasn't offered with any fruit but we asked for blueberries and it was much better than without them. Greg and Lauren are nice innkeepers. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here very much and would not hesitate to return again.
Noisy ceiling fan that rendered it unusable. Very low sitting toilet. Expresso maker in room instead of a Keurig and no decaf option.

Lovely spot with a glorious sunrise. The Inn is very comfortable. The hosts are friendly, accommodating, and enhance the stay. We would definitely recommend it.
We came off season so it's hard to criticize anything.

A gem. A quiet and peaceful location with a fabulous restaurant. A view of the harbor with lawn chairs inviting a morning cup of coffee or evening beverage. Very clean and efficient establishment w/meals that exceeded our expectations. The causeway to Clark's Island and several small sandy patches of beach was within a two minute walk. Loved it here, just need to book more than one night!

Breakfast simple but wholesome and delicious. Dinner the night before was spectacular. We would go back again just for dinner alone. Chef Gil's menu was so tasty.
Nothing.

Food was good. We would have liked coffee choice that wasn't a dark roast.
Since we couldn't bring our wine downstairs, two chairs in our room would have been nice.

The location was what attracted us to the Craignair Inn. It sits at one end of a causeway that leads to Clark Island, a beautiful conserved island in Wheeler Bay. The Inn’s updated decor and pristine grounds were terrific, and the the innkeepers Greg and Lauren were attentive and most gracious. The food at the Causeway Restaurant was out of this world!
