What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 28 guest reviews
Rockland Talbot House earns strong praise for its beautifully maintained Victorian property, excellent downtown location, and comfortable, quiet rooms — the majority of guests are genuinely delighted with their stay. However, a recurring and notable complaint is that the B&B experience falls short of expectations: breakfast is a basic self-serve continental spread and the absence of on-site hosts leaves many guests feeling the stay lacks the personal warmth they anticipated from an inn.
