The Lady Mary Inn is the centerpiece of North Berwick, my home town. My husband and I and have often talked about how interesting it would be to see it and get the chance to meet the owners. We had the opportunity to do that the day after Christmas. The house is beautifully preserved and lovingly restored. The guest rooms are elegant and comfortable. Ryan and Steve are charming and generous with their time, including having breakfast with us. The experience is one I will treasure. - Susan L | December 2023


The house - breathtaking. The accommodations - impeccable. The breakfasts - scrumptious. Ryan and Steve - the consummate hosts. 10 out of 10. - Mack M | December 2023


The Lady Mary Inn offered an enchanting Tea Party a few weeks ago. My daughters and their children invited me to join them for an overnight stay at the Inn, followed by an elegant tea party the next day. Such fun! The tea party and overnight stay at Lady Mary Inn exceeded all expectations. Our host and co-owner Ryan welcomed us to this beautifully restored historical inn. Each of its comfortable rooms has unique period furnishings and its own charm. We immediately settled in for a relaxing stay. - Mary L | November 2023


Ryan & Steve definitely understand the concept of what a guest is looking for in this type of experience. The Inn is beautiful and extremely well maintained. Our room was lovely, pristine, with many unique details and modern amenities. I really appreciated the approach to the "breakfast". Not only was the food delicious, but we felt like real guests! Everyone sit together to share breakfast, including the hosts, was really lovely. - Dana G | October 2023

What an amazing stay! Start to finish, just spectacular. Thank you Ryan & Steve for the attention to every detail and the care you took for each of us. - Robin S  | August 2023


Our experience at your Inn was so warm and inviting. Our room accommodations in Dogwood suite were beautiful. We stepped away from our busy lifestyle and just slowed down and relaxed. We very much enjoyed your company, scintillating conversation and delicious breakfast. - Betsy G   | July 2023


This is our second stay. We have stayed at other B&Bs but The Lady Mary Inn remains our gold standard that frankly no other establishment meets. - Michael F   | July 2023


Bob and I needed a get away after a tough couple of weeks. Since it was our anniversary we felt this was the time. We always use select registry and looked for something away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy area, but close enough if we wanted to go there. The Lady Mary is the perfect place! Beautiful inn, excellent hosts,(Viv and Clark included), we felt right at home from the first moment. Close enough for a leisurely drive along route 9 up through Old Orchard Beach or up to Rochester where we found a great shop with antiques and collectibles. Loved the common rooms and the greatest breakfast and talk around the table! Ryan and Steve you’ve done a great job! Keep up the good work, we will be back! - Becky G   | September 2022


My husband booked the Inn for our 49th Anniversary and it did not disappoint for sure. The detail to the Inn is stunning and breath taking, you don’t see any more. Our first breakfast was greeted by Ryan’s partner and their two beautiful well behaved boxers. I love that the Inn was local to all our favorite places in Maine , Ogunquit, Kennebunkport. Looking forward to returning and seeing all the renovation that they have planned.. It is one special place to stay you will not be disappointed ❤️ - Gloria B   | September 2022


“We loved our stay here. Everything was perfect. We loved meeting Ryan and Steve. We will be back soon.” ~ Carol S.   | August 2022


“We were barely out of our car and Ryan was at the front porch welcoming us like old friends. He sat with us and gave us a bit of background on the history of the Hurd Mansion/ Lady Mary Inn. The Inn itself is absolutely gorgeous and the King and Queen suites are enormous. The periodic presence of their two wonderful dogs , Vivien and Clarke, gave the whole Inn a feel of being in a home surrounded by family and friends. Stay at the Lady Mary Inn, you will be very happy you did!!” ~ David W   | August 2022


“Thank you for a beautiful stay. We will be back soon! ” ~ Chris B.   | August 2022


“You made us feel so very welcome, at your Inn and your garden. It was lovely to meet your friends and husband as well as your sweet boxers. We have fond memories of our stay with you. Thank You for everything!” ~ Susi L.   | July 2022


“We recently had a wonderful stay at The Lady Mary Inn. We were warmly greeted by Ryan upon arrival and made to feel welcome and at home. This historic inn is well appointed and very clean. Our suite was beautiful! This historic mansion is centrally located to visit Ogunquit, Kennebunkport and Portland, which were all on our itinerary. We would recommend Lady Mary Inn to all. We will certainly return.” ~ Caryn W. | July 2022


“We had booked our room back in April when the Inn was known as Angel of the Berwicks and thought it would be a very nice place but when we checked into the new Lady Mary Inn, we found it to be stunningly gorgeous. We were immediately greeted by Ryan , our host, who gave us a tour and made us feel very much at home, only better! There are so many elegant and lovely touches throughout the inn, including original architectural details, furnishings and artwork that one could spend all day wandering around and checking everything out. The entire inn was polished and gleaming and it was obvious the owners took great pride in their new endeavor. We were also offered a variety of cold drinks, coffee, tea and cookies! Upstairs, our room was air conditioned and beautifully decorated. The bed was most comfortable and the bathroom sparkling clean with lovely plush towels. In the morning, we were served a delightful and delicious breakfast of fresh fruit, baked eggs and croissants. The egg recipe featured heirloom tomatoes and zucchini from the owner's gardens. Delicious! Everything about the Lady Mary Inn was far beyond our expectations and we would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you, Ryan and Steve for hosting us so expertly. We enjoyed every minute and every detail.” ~ Beverly P. | January 2022


“My wife Debbie and I have stayed at probably two dozen inns in New England, and this one is the most beautiful! Gorgeous woodwork, amazing period furniture, in the center of a small Maine town. Ryan is the owner/host/chef, and does a phenomenal job at all three! The best breakfast we have ever had at a B and B! Obsessively attentive to detail; Ryan seems like he's been doing this forever. If you're lucky, you may get to see the boxers, Vivian and Clarkie. Will definitely stay there again when we're in that neck of the woods. Thank you Ryan!” ~ Harry J. | August 2021


“What a delightful place! I had the good fortune to be there during the open house which gave Ryan (one of the owners) and Keith (the Innkeeper) much additional information to add to their history of the Mary Hurd House. This Victorian house has been preserved and renovated exquisitely and both Ryan and Keith were phenomenal hosts. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable and the downstairs common areas are very inviting and the puzzle room was an added bonus for me. The breakfasts prepared by Ryan are incredible and if you're there long enough and the timing is right, you may be able to see the owner's farm which is not far away and provides a lot of the fruit and vegetables used for breakfast. The Inn is located within easy driving distance to several airports as well as seacoast towns like Ogunquit, Wells and Kennebunkport. Equally important for me was easy access to hiking trails, some of which were less than a mile or so away. Clearly one of the best accommodations I've encountered in my travels.” ~ Sue R. | August 2021


“This was our very first B&B experience and it was truly amazing! I think it would be hard to find another quite as comparable. Keith was a wonderful Innkeeper who took care of our every need. Ryan, the owner, made us feel like part of the family. We enjoyed hearing about the history of this beautiful Victorian, and truly appreciated the effort he put into creating those farm to table breakfasts. The architecture and splendor of this home was breathtaking; and it was a pleasure to be able to freely explore and enjoy. Thank you for the tour of the farm- so interesting!!” ~ Sophia B. | August 2021
