Is Smoking permitted? No, for the comfort of all our guests, Brewster House Bed & Breakfast provides smoke-free Freeport, Maine lodging. Those choosing to disregard our smoke-free policy will be subject to cleaning fees and are responsible to compensate Brewster House Bed & Breakfast for future revenue lost when smoke renders a room unacceptable for incoming guests.
Do you allow pets? No, with the exception of licensed, service animals we are not able to accommodate pets in order to maintain a peaceful, allergy-free environment for all guests.
Do you allow children? We do welcome guests of all ages. With that said, Brewster House Bed & Breakfast caters primarily to families with older children, individuals on business, or couples looking for a quiet, romantic getaway, without children. For that reason, and because of its delicate decorative and historic features, and for the health, comfort and safety of all our guests, the property is not generally appropriate for children under age 10. Both the Portland Head (#6) and Bass Harbor Suites (#7) are on the 3rd floor and include very low windows, and so are potentially dangerous for very young children. Only a limited number of our rooms can suitably accommodate a third (or fourth) person, and charges for additional persons are as stated on the individual room page. Ask us about help with a high chair or Pack & Play but please note a children’s menu is not offered; we will do our best to adapt the daily menu to appeal smaller guests.
Do you offer travel agents commission? We welcome inquiries from travel agents, and we generally do pay a commission to professional travel agents upon receipt of a valid invoice from a genuine travel agency, after check-in and payment by the guest(s). For more information about this, please contact us.
