Chapman Cottage, York Harbor

I can not believe this place is now doing weddings! The owners were very rude to me and everyone in my family on my wedding day. They were well aware we would be getting ready for the wedding at the cottage. When it started raining and we couldnt go outside to snap photos, we took a few pictures in the foyer. They immediately berrated us in front of all the guests for taking photos. Isn't taking pictures a part of getting ready for your wedding day? They could have handled the situation in professional manner, but instead they chose embarrass us and treat us like children.

We have visited Paul & Donna since our 1st Anniversary. We try to get up there twice a year, and every time we have been met like favorite family. Their attention to detail is impecible. The rooms are ultra comfortable, the sheets and towels amazing and Pauls culinary skills are exceptional. The best rooms, the best se4rvice, the best blueberry maritinis and by far the best dining experience in the area. Looking forward to our next stay. John & Lisa Oakdale CT

I have stayed at the Chapman Cottage 3 times, each time we stayed there was exceptional. The breakfasts are great, Donna and Paul are very down to earth people. I never had any trouble or heard of any trouble with them from anyone. The restaurant serves the best food I have ever tasted I would recommend them to anyone. I agree with the person above GET A MOTEL!!

This hotel was good in all aspects. A nice place to enjoy. Good service was given by the hotel staff, would like to visit this place again along with my family and friends.

Chapman Cottage is worth travelling to, even if you live across the globe...I have done such that. I have no idea what some people on this review are complaining about...perhaps they need to stop blaming others and take a look in the mirror. I have been to Chapman Cottage several times for weekend getaways and dinner as well, and not only found the food and ammenities to be amazing, but also felt warmly welcomed by Paul and Donna (owners/operators). The idea of a B&B is to relax and have fun...you will have no problem doing that at Chapman Cottage. The place is a perfect mix of old time charm and modern ammenities, hosted by very accomodating people. It seems the person prior to me in this review needed to state that they were not drunks...to me, why state this if there is no underlying inclination!? If you want to be loud and feel the need to occupy the entire premise with your one personal noise, then do us all a favor and find places that people call HOTELS...then you can do whatever you want, but don't expect to have any where close to the same amazing atmosphere. You cannot always get First Class when you want to treat the world like Coach...I love Chapman Cottage!!!

Our whole Chapman Cottage experience was based on a false premise...lovely views of York Harbor as advertised lured us in. Please excuse me for thinking that meant saltwater, lobster boats etc. The reality was lots of traffic on a busy street and absolutely no water in sight. We did find Donna plesant,but the cook and co-owner Paul seemed dedicated to patrolling the hallway and insuring that one guest did not interfere with anothers freedom to use the toilet facilities by congregating in numbers greater than one in the hallway. Perhaps that is the charm of a Maine B%B... eccentricity. There are several places of lodging in the area that do provide the excellent ambience as advertised

We've stayed at Chapman Cottage 2x (so far)and loved each stay. Our first stay was in Elizabeth's Room. Small, sweet, cozy. Our second stay was in the Chapman Suite. The room was exquisite! The bathroom was spectacular! How great to turn on the fireplace and sit in the jacuzzi tub! Paul and Donna are wonderfull innkeepers. As was said in another review, they are there if you need them and not there if you don't. The breakfasts are beyond wonderful. Especially the cranberry muffins! We recommend this B&B highly and without reservation! Can't wait to go back again this year. Only problem is that now we are spoiled and only want the suites!

can't say anything but good thing. Breakfast to die for, Paul takes the most simple item and turns it into a work of art.Donna & Paul are there if you need them and not if you don't.if you wanted to you really don't have to leave the cottage. It has a nice resturant and nice little bar. I do have to say it's not waterfront but you are a very short walk to a nice waterfront stroll.for my first time at a B&B I was Pleasantly suprised so much that I'm planning a trip again in april.oyah if you think the price per night is a little high the breakfast is well worth the extra.

After reading a previous review of Chapman Cottage, I was not sure what to expect. My wife and I were celebrating our 2nd anniversary and were expecting to unwind. She had already made the reservations when I learned that Chapman Cottage was by someone's opinion "not a good place to laugh". I must admit, I was hessitant. Needless to say...when we arrived last weekend it was the best trip I have ever had. Great food, good company (we spent all evening talking with Paul and Donna in their beautiful tappas bar), the rooms were so comfortable my wife wanted to bring it home. Here's a hint, the pictures just dont do it justice. And at breakfast the next day, I finally found out why Paul and Donna go to bed at 10:30. Breakfast was made from scratch that morning. Cinnamon rolls, sausage, the best egg suffle I think I could ever eat (my first by the way). Hot, fresh and plentiful Chapman Cottage coffee. All in all, I would highly suggest this B&B. The person who wrote that other review must have a stick up their rear, or be very self centered. We will be back next year (we made reservations before we left).

Our visit at this B&B was like going back to geade school and meeting that cranky old teacher you'd like to foget. Our group had occupied 4 of the six rooms during off season. We are close friends and get together once a year.We are not drunks or rowdy. The atmosphere was like that of a funeral parlor.Constantly being reprimanded to be considerate of others in the Inn.The cook (and owner as well) would smoke in the back of the B&B and his second hand smoke would drift up into our room. That's what I call considerate!! We have been to many B&B's but this was the most unpleasant experience by far. If your looking for a good plaace to stay with friendly, pleasant host, skip this one!
