Sounds great....
Situated on three-and-a-half acres of meadows, the Arundel Meadows Inn is backed by lawn chairs which look out on flower gardens, grazing horses and rolling fields. The Kennebunk River runs along its southern border. The Inn is a half-hour drive from Maine's largest city, Portland, and some 45 minutes from Freeport, Maine.
This 165-year-old farmhouse combines the charm of antiques and art with the comfort of seven individually decorated bedrooms -- two are suites, three have fireplaces and all have private bathrooms. All guest rooms offer comfortable sitting areas for reading and relaxing and are decorated with art and antiques collected both locally and around the world.
The full buffet breakfasts are prepared by co-owner Mark Bachelder, who is a professional chef trained by internationally known teacher, author and television personality Madeleine Kamman. Each morning, breakfast includes fresh juice, fresh fruit compote, freshly baked pastries and various other inn specialties.
The Inn is a five-mile drive from the Kennebunk Beach and the town of Kennebunkport, home of former President George Bush. Excellent year-round restaurants, antique dealers, art galleries and shops of all kinds, from over a hundred discount stores to New England artisans, are all within a short drive from the Inn. There are several beaches within easy access, and two excellent golf courses are located in the immediate area.
The Arundel Meadows Inn offers spring and summer guests picnic areas in the meadows, flower gardens through which to stroll and lots of room for lounging, sun bathing and sipping afternoon tea. In the fall, foliage viewing is readily available, and winter means a crackling fire in the living room fireplace to welcome guests back from their cross-country skiing. Year 'round, there's plenty of hiking, shopping and just plain relaxing.
