Our travel agent booked us here as part of our ten day New England trip. My wife and I and another couple stayed three nights. We all agreed that our stay here was one of the best experiences of the trip !  The rooms were very comfortable and spacious. David, the owner, does an outstanding job and his breakfasts are awesome. The breakfasts David prepared each morning were amazing and I could hardly wait until morning to see what he had prepared. David is very knowledgeable about the Portland area and gave us great recommendations on restaurants , craft breweries, and local sight seeing. In the evenings we would enjoy a night cap in the sitting room. There was always homemade treats awaiting us and other guests who would stop by. It was a great way to meet other guests and share notes on what to do and see in Portland. Highly recommend.

Best Stay on Our New England Trip

One of the best places I have ever stayed!  The mansion is beautiful, the rooms comfortable and charming, and David is the perfect host and chef.  We looked forward to breakfast every morning (each day David prepares something new and delicious) and we still think about those breakfast potatoes with lobster!  The sitting room upstairs is the perfect place to read a book or get a little bit of work done, and if you're lucky you'll find a pile of homemade whoopie pies in the afternoon.  The location is a bit of a hike from the popular bars and restaurants in Old Port, but honestly we prefer the quieter areas.  Still lots of coffee shops nearby and places to visit within walking distance (we recommend the dumplings at Bao Bao).

An absolute gem!

We stayed here for our “mini-moon” in early October and absolutely loved it. The location worked great for us -- About a 5-10 minute walk from some great restaurants and coffee shops, and about a 15-18 min walk from downtown proper. Of course, it’s also a super speedy Lyft ride if you don’t feel like walking. (Though we are big walkers and this is also our primary way of getting exercise on vacation, so it really was perfect for us).

The bed (mattress and pillows both) was super comfortable, and the room also had a small table and chairs. Because we are still very cautious about COVID, we chose to bring our breakfast up to our room and eat it there, and it was perfectly comfortable to do so. (There are also a few spacious, sunlit rooms downstairs where other people ate). One note about the room: It’s in an old house, which lends a huge amount of charm, but it also means there aren’t a huge number of outlets. If we return (which I fully expect we will because we loved it here so much), we will probably bring a power strip with us. (Though quite possibly the host will provide them upon request -- We didn’t think to ask). It didn’t wind up being too big of a deal to us, though! 

Our host, David, was incredibly kind and accommodating, always greeting us cheerfully when we came down to get breakfast (and always finding us a tray with which to carry our food upstairs). He has multiple handy print-outs of restaurants, breweries, distilleries, and other things to do around Portland, and is generally a fount of information and good humor. Also, as a huge unexpected bonus, there are homemade afternoon pastries every day and they are INCREDIBLE -- While we were there, they ran the gamut from oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to whoopie pies to brownies, and they were all absolutely to die for.

Overall, we really loved our stay and can definitely see ourselves coming back for another vacation soon!

Delightfully comfortable stay, perfect location, amazing breakfast and pastries

The Merrill Mansion is a wonderful place to stay.  Located well, exceptionally clean and Dave the owner make it perfect. His breakfast is imaginative and very tasty.   He needs to publish a cook book of his recipes..
Dave knows the area well so is very helpful in assisting you to navigate the area.

Wonderful place to rest your head

What a fabulous getaway we had! David was a wonderful host and chef! The location was just far enough away from old port to be serene and quiet yet close enough to go everywhere on foot.
We had a dream weekend.

The inn itself was lovely, beautifully appointed and just right for us 

Couldn't have picked a better place for a weekend away

After reading reviews of various properties in Portland we chose to stay at the Morrill Mansion.  David, who is the owner and innkeeper, is a consummate host.  He provided many dining suggestions and places to enjoy a drink and things to do.  We stayed in the McGuire room which is on the 3rd floor.  The room was cozy but nicely appointed.  The afternoon treats were the best - we were there for 3 days - one day there were Whoopi pies (oh my goodness were these fantastic!), one day brownies and then cookies.  They were all delicious.  The breakfasts were fabulous - each day there was a warm fruit compote (nothing like dessert for breakfast!), blueberry scones (the best we’ve ever had), muffins, coffee cakes, pancakes with a wonderful blueberry sauce, eggs with lobster, French toast were some of the choices during our visit.  You could also have other breads/toasts/cereals (but who would want those with these other fabulous offerings!).  The Inn is about a mile down to the port - we walked everywhere and enjoyed getting some much needed exercise after those fabulous breakfasts and afternoon snacks.  West Portland is a great area - we would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

A Few Days in Portland

David, the Innkeeper and owner, greeted us like family.  The mansion is breathtaking and beautifully appointed.   The room and bed was most comfortable.  
David is a wonderful chef and baker.  He offered his recipes, which was most appreciated.   The location was convenient.

Outstanding property

Spent two nights here.  The B&B is nicely located to walk into Portland, has off street parking, and an excellent breakfast to satisfy just about anyone.  David, the owner was very hospitable and made you feel right at home.  The B&B was very well maintained and up to date.

Great location/great place

We stayed two nights at the Morrill Mansion and would not hesitate to return. David is an excellent host and provided a delicious breakfast each morning. He was even able to accommodate my husbands gluten allergy which was very appreciated. The location is about 20-25 min walk to Old Port but that was fine for us as we like to walk. The room was clean, well stocked and the complimentary water was a nice bonus.

Lovely B & B

I recently returned from a 4-night stay at the Morrill Mansion with a couple of friends and would absolutely recommend everyone to stay here. We stayed in the Promenade Suite and were pleased with our experience. I will break down my review below:

Food:
The homemade breakfasts were absolutely delicious. David did a splendid job with providing several options. He made a main dish option each morning (such as pancakes with blueberry compote, French toast with warm cinnamon apples, eggs with potatoes and lobster). There were also baked goods each morning such as scones and muffins, as well as a sweet dish prepared in ramekins such as a no-egg custard and blueberry/cranberry cobbler. He also provided other options each morning including cereal and milk, yogurt and bagels and cream cheese. Each day he also had a baked treat in the afternoon which was nice to come back to!
Room: We loved staying in the Promenade Suite. It was plenty of room for the 3 of us. I would even say that the pictures on the website does not do the room justice. There were 3 benches in the room for us to place our suitcases on and we never felt like we were cramped for space. Also not shown in the pictures is a table and 2 chairs, which were great for us for utilizing the space. We also felt that the walls were well-insulated and we never were bothered by any interior or exterior noises.
Location: It is worth noting that the bed and breakfast is a solid mile from Old Port which seems to be the more hopping area in Portland. We knew we would have a walk there (it was 25+ mins we discovered, but this did not bother us as we knew this ahead of time and had packed decent walking shoes). If the distance bothers you, you may not like that, but we liked the quiet neighborhood where the BNB is located. There are plenty of great restaurant options within a 10 minute or so walking distance that we also enjoyed, so those are options too.
Other notes: David is an exceptional host. I loved staying here and am already thinking of ways I can come back here and stay in another room. This was my first experience in a bed and breakfast, and David set the bar high for me. Portland is a wonderful city and you can feel his passion for the area. He provided us with print outs of nearby restaurants, breweries and a map to help us orient ourselves. He also has an entire wall of brochures for any and every kind of activity in the area. I would recommend this as a place to stay for anyone looking for a unique experience in Portland.
