The loft was very cozy and perfect for a couples getaway. Well appointed, very clean and the bed was so big and comfortable with beautiful views of the cove. Alex and Siobhan were attentive hosts. We were close to Camden, Rockport and Rockland. Great dining choices and beautiful lighthouses as well as various art galleries. We would definitely return again.

A wonderful property. Not huge but a great size for 2 people! The view was terrific (saw seals we believe just beyond the sandbar at almost every tide opportunity in addition to the birds at the shore - the woodchuck and the squirrel at times in the backyard). Amenities were great - appliances, furnishing, wireless & TV. The hosts were wonderful, great communication and some hints on local options. Would wholeheartedly recommend this property.

Comfy and scenic

Property was perfect for a stay of two. Morning coffee was enjoyed with a beautiful view of the water and comfy patio chairs. Second story bedroom loft had a wall of windows to showcase the ocean view. It was noted that the property owners put thought into every amenity.

Outstanding Experience--as Usual!

My wife & I have known Alex & Siobhan for at least 15 years--we stayed in rooms at their former Claddagh Motel as well as suites, but we've stayed mostly at the Primrose B with our two kids & now twice at the Loft (just my wife & me). These innkeepers are the friendliest you'll ever encounter. The Loft has been available only a handful of years--but it's been immaculately appointed, including an incredibly comfy bed, well-stocked kitchen, & a private deck with excellent grill & the same magnificent view of the cove as we enjoyed in the Primrose B. If you think you'll like seeing the most gorgeous sunrise (at around 5 a.m.!), then this is the place. And when it's low tide, you can walk across the cove for maybe 1/4 of a mile & collect quahog shells or otherwise enjoy a restful, meditative slosh on a sunny day. The accommodations are incredibly comfy, & our innkeepers are the very best of people!
A room with a great view!
