The Bradley Inn and Restaurant
In New Harbor, Maine
The Bradley Inn was built in the early 1900’s as a boarding house and converted to an inn as the area became a vacation destination. The nearly three-acre property offers multiple seating areas in which to enjoy the beautiful perennial gardens and fresh ocean air filled with the sound of the surf and sea gulls.
The main inn includes 10 guest rooms, 1 guest suite, and several common spaces with fireplaces for guests to enjoy. There is also a beautiful restaurant and pub that is considered one of the best casual fine dining establishments in the area.
The Seabreeze Spa is a small cottage next to the Main Inn that offers a lovely sauna and guests massage services.
The Carriage House is a renovated barn that contains two guest rooms, one guest suite, and is set slightly away from the main inn. The suite features a living room with fireplace, full kitchen, a primary bedroom plus a sleeping loft.
The Garden Cottage is a spacious, stand alone cottage with comfortable a seating area, full bathroom and private outdoor porch.
This is an inn that checks so many boxes. Good size/number of rooms, events, food and beverage, literally steps from a popular coastal attraction, an owner’s apartment, and so much potential!

The Inn's Common Areas
Just 20 minutes from Damariscotta, the restaurant at The Bradley Inn is one of the finest in the area, offering a casual fine dining experience serving gourmet, made from scratch food, in a casual yet elegant atmosphere.
The tavern is warm and inviting, with its shiplap walls, wooden ship models, and muted lighting. Designed with a nautical theme and a warm ambiance, the tavern has become a favorite gathering spot for overnight and restaurant guests, as well as Pemaquid Point locals.
Location
The midcoast proximity allows for easy day trips up and down the coast or inland to explore. The twin villages of Newcastle/Damariscotta sits at the gateway to the popular Pemaquid Peninsula, with the Pemaquid Beach, Pemaquid Lighthouse and The Bradley Inn.
The peninsula is dotted with beautiful little villages, shops and views around the bend. There’s a boat launch right in town Damariscotta, at the head of the peninsula, and a place to rent kayaks. The River Tripper takes guests along the Damariscotta River and offers sunset cruises, oyster and Champagne, and an oyster education!
The newer Oyster Festival draws crowds in the summer, but it’s the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest in October that draws thousands. The pumpkin boat regatta even makes national news! It’s a festival not to be missed.
The inn is located:
- 1 hour from Boothbay Harbor
- 1 hour from Camden
- 1.5 hours from Portland
- 2.5 hours from Bar Harbor
- 3 hours from Boston
And just steps to the historic and popular Pemaquid Lighthouse!
