What a GREAT autumn getaway to Blue Hill, Maine. Barncastle Hotel & Restaurant couldn't have been better. I arrived in a torrential downpour to welcoming hosts, a warm & cozy guest room and, delicious soul soothing cuisine. The new owners, Lizzie & Owen, went above and beyond. The highlight of the weekend was definitely the food. The menu, quality and presentation of the meals was like being in a high end restaurant in NYC. I am still dreaming about the Smoked Squash Soup topped with crab meat and spiced pepitas. So good!! Lizzie helped me select the perfect red wine to bring upstairs and enjoy in my room. The area is gorgeous with lots of hiking and amazing views from the top of Blue Hill Mountain. Only an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, I took a day trip there, had lunch and explored. Thanks for the memorable visit!! Looking forward to the next time!
