BREAKFAST
At the Berry Manor Inn we strive to “wow” our guests with the “Bs” in Bed & Breakfast! We start off the morning with coffee, juice and tea service available in the library by 7 am so the early risers can start on the caffeine intake. We don’t believe in alarm clocks when you are on vacation so we choose to serve our multi-course breakfast anytime between 8 and 9:30 am at individual tables in the main dining room. Feel free to stroll down at 8am or roll out of bed, slip on one of our comfy robes and sit down at 9:30. We serve coffee or tea, assorted juices, a fruit course, homemade bread or pastry, and a main course with meat and an entrée that alternates between “sweet” and “savory”. We post our menu the night before for our guests perusal and encourage our guests to let us know of food preferences, allergies and other dietary issues in advance so that we can prepare a breakfast choice to meet all needs.

GUEST PANTRY

We understand that sometimes when you travel you don’t always feel like having dessert at dinnertime or can’t always finish your meal and want to have it later in the day. We provide two guest pantry areas for our guests, one in the main house and one in the carriage house to help meet these needs. Each area has an instant hot water dispenser, glassware, china, cutlery, microwave and full refrigerator and freezer.

We stock the pantry with assorted teas, coffee, sodas, juice, ice, the “World’s Best Vanilla Ice Cream” Maine-made Gifford Ice cream and of course homemade pies made by the Berry Manor Inn Moms recently featured on the Food Network! There is room in the fridge for medicine, special foods, and leftovers or to chill a bottle of your favorite wine.

LOCAL RESTAURANTS

Rockland and the midcoast area have an amazing number of really good to great restaurants all which serve some type of seafood and include cuisines such as Italian, Mediterranean, Japanese, Mexican, Southwest, French Bistro, American and of course lobster, lobster, and lobster! Most of our restaurants are relatively small, chef-owned and operated and pride themselves on serving fresh, local and seasonal foods. Sample menus are available to look at and you innkeepers will gladly help you find the right restaurant for your budget, taste and the perfect ambience from an AAA Four-Diamond award winning establishment to a lobster shack on the water!  With over twenty restaurants in Rockland alone and many more in the surrounding area we can’t mention them all but some of our local favorites include:
