Read all the reviews about The Captain Swift Inn and was surprised to find they were all very positive. Expected to find a few negative points when we arrived but believe me, there are none. Won't repeat all the great comments that have been written about this Inn but they are all that and more. My wife and I stayed... More

We had the pleasure of a two-night stay at The Captain Swift Inn in early October of this year. We were enroute back to Ohio after spending a week in Maine and we could not have asked for a better B&B to end our travels with. This beautifully restored Inn was comfortable and cozy and we, quickly, made ourselves at... More

Called at the last minute for a night's stay, very nice clean, quiet stay. Fabulous breakfast! Linda and Norm showed wonderful hospitality and are very knowledgable about the area. They were also very helpful with our further travels up the coastline. Great place to stay!

I came upon the Captain Swift Inn by chance while desperately searching for a place to stay in Camden. What a stroke of luck! Linda and Norm went out of their way to find room in their inn for me during my visit in Camden. In the end, I spent three very relaxing nights in three different rooms. Every morning,... More

The Captain Swift Inn is a perfect New England B&B. The rooms are spacious and some like ours come with gas fireplaces. Breakfast is really exceptional. Not your typical B&B breakfasts. The first day we had roasted peaches and waffles with blueberries and strawberries with warm pure maple syrup. The second day we had a yogurt parfait with fresh raspberries... More

We were extended wonderful hospitality and were so pleased we were able to stay an additional night. We were on a 16 day trip through Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and this was the last stay of some 11 B & Bs. A great place to end our trip. We were served two of the best... More

One never knows if they made the right reservation -- the Captain Swift was perfection. When we reserved our room (The Cabin Retreat) Linda asked if we had any dietary restrictions. Being diabetic, she offered to made me an omelet on their "sweet day." (They alternate daily between sweet and savory.) The breakfasts were "out of this world!" The savory... More

Cute, typical New England style inn with cozy rooms and beautiful dining/ living area. Linda and Norm are wonderful hosts who give you tips on the area and make an amazing home cooked breakfast. Would go there again any time and recommend to anyone.

What a fantastic stay at Captain Swifts. Linda and Norm made us feel right at home. We highly recommend the inn to everyone. The room was comfortable and the breakfasts magnificent. We can't say enough about the Inn and can't wait to return.
