The online photos do not do this Inn justice. It is an eclectic and rather magical environment. Our room was on the top floor. The climb up was a treat because the walls and stairwells are decorated with all manner of art, elegantly done. The breakfasts are incomparable. Absolutely delicious.

Day 1: I have not been here less than an hour and love this place. The assistant manager Sophia was just a wonderful cheery person, great customer service. I can't wait for breakfast; they are gluten aware. Day 2: Breakfast was great, smoked Gouda omelette with gluten free bread. The surrounding area is beautiful. Day 3: Breakfast again was fantastic, the two inn keepers are wonderful people and do an incredible job here. Thank you for a wonderful experience. PS you should keep more bacon on hand.

My husband and I were looking for a nice getaway during the 4th of July weekend, and we found a gem! The managers, Erin and Landon, were the most hospitable hosts we've ever had. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and served us a DELICIOUS breakfast of freshly baked muffins, scones, waffles, eggs, and fresh fruit. The room was beautiful and super comfortable. We can't wait to come back again soon. I highly recommend staying at this cozy bed & breakfast if you are in the Portland area!

Stayed here for 1 night in the separate carriage house. Our room: Our fireplace wasn't working but not a big deal. The bed was king size and the most softest sheets everrrrr (ahhhh). The bathroom was spacious and had a stone shower. The room was eclectic and "artsy" but cozy...much like the rest of the house. The main house was full of lots of artsy, quirky objects and paintings. They serve a complimentary breakfast from 8:30-9:30 (3 courses) and it's good! However if you get there towards the end they might run out of things like bacon though...(eeek!) If you want to skip going in to the dining room and eating you can sleep later and request a basket of pastries. Wonderful, charming experience...will be back if we head up to portland again. Also it's within easy walking distance to the main drag which is really convenient.

I had a wonderful weekend here in July 2014. I will be honest, I don't like forced socialization and B&Bs but this place didn't make you feel like you needed to come down and talk in order to eat breakfast. Our room was very comfortable with a great working fireplace. *note* If you are very tall I wouldn't recommend staying on the top floor because the ceilings are angled. We had a really refreshing and relaxing stay and would definitely stay there again if we revisit Portland.

Stayed one weekend recently in April. The innkeepers Steve and Katie did a nice job and made sure we were well fed. And they were very attentive to my wife's food allergy. Our room was great with a gas fireplace, large bath and separate sitting area. The separate area works well for us since i am an early riser so I can move to such a space and let my wife sleep. If we decide to stay in Portland again Pomegranate will get our first nod fro accommodations.

Such an amazing place, had a great long weekend. I did not want to leave. The Inn keepers, Steve and Katie, were amazing people. As soon as we checked in, Katie made some awesome recommendations around town. My gf and I stayed in room 3, very roomy and very comfortable. Each morning began with a delicious 3 course breakfast. Food was amazing. We'll be planning a return trip very soon.

The room is fine, but for the price we were super disappointed by the low level of service. Good luck getting into the place to check in! We had to wait 10 minutes at 4pm, desperately ringing the doorbell and calling two different numbers for the hotel just to get past the locked door (which I guess they lock because its in a terrible neighborhood? I've seen that at b and b's before, but never in the middle of the day during checkin!) For $225 a night there area million and one better options.

My Darling Pomegranate. This place could be one of those times where I say, "Only in Portland, Maine." Because I don't have the faith I can find such charm and beatitude anywhere else, especially West Coast. It's almost as if the small Bed and Breakfasts paradises of the 1960's were resurrected and given a polish and restoration job. The beds are classic and lavish, by means of pillows and spreads. The wallpaper and windows are very Raold Dahl meets Ken Adams. All the rooms are nice if you take a peak. But I'll make it clear that we paid for the best (and it was a great deal). We stayed at the Master's Suite, Room #8 (not to be confused by Room 237, oops, that is another hotel) that altogether was a marvel, a delight. It had it's own drawing room with couch, desk and television. Great if you're a nighttime vegetable like me. I probably had the best sleep I had all year in that bed. I also took a dunk in the bathtub. Downstairs had complimentary breakfast during 8 and 9:30, I believe. I loved this very personal, distinctive plate of apricot scone, watermelon and entree french toast with unbeatable lemon curd, and lots of east coast teas. I enjoyed the company I had with the innkeeper Henry, lots of fun talks about the work of Nicolas Roeg and David Lynch! I love the Maine people! The lighthouses! The fresh lobster! And the "Pomegranate Inn!" #loving

My husband and I stayed here for two nights, Nov 9 and 10, 2014. We have stayed at about 6 or 7 Bed and Breakfasts in Portland. All of them have been ok and a couple have been terrific, this is one of them. The service was perfect. The decor was fun, interesting, busy, funky, comfortable. There was plenty of room downstairs to hang out in the parlor and read, as we did, or to hang out at the dining table and play cards, as we did. We met some fabulous guests at breakfast and had terrific food, only complaint is I could not resist any of it, and there was plenty. It is in a lovely residential neighborhood, an easy walk to restaurants and to Old Port. Steve and Kait are very knowledgeable about the area and were able to direct us to a couple restaurants we had not yet tried. Some of our favorites are Silly's, 38 & 40 Washington Ave, LFK 188A State St, and RiRa' Irish Pub 72 Commercial St. Two new ones we learned about on this trip and will return to are Central Provisions on Fore St and Bramhall Pub, 769 Congress St. All are within a 20 minute walk except Silly's which is almost 2 miles away. We are both vegetarians and while these are not vegetarian restaurants, they served us well.

We loved staying here! Thank you so much for the quaint room and delicious breakfasts.

Staying here was the highlight of our trip to Maine for my 30th birthday. I don't even know where to begin with this review. This unique bed and breakfast was like staying in a museum in the best way possible. Every room was designed in a unique way with different vibe. Many rooms had fireplaces which was an added bonus (including ours, room 1). The beds were comfortable, big fluffy duvets, corkscrew and wine glasses for some romance, private bathroom. The rooms were cleaned and made each morning. Most of the day there was tea and coffee and some pastry available in the dining room to snack on. I can only describe the breakfast in one word....HEAVEN. each morning we had a 3 course gourmet breakfast- cooked to order. Morning 1, we had a baked pear with ricotta cheese and slivered almonds. Then a banana scone (super fluffy and delicious) followed by a choice of french toast with blueberry and strawberry jam and whipped cream or an omelette with cheese and tomatoes with toast and greens dressed very nicely. We sat at the big table and chatted with the other guests, which is one of the perks of b&bs if you like that sort of thing. Otherwise they had other tables for 2...Also coffee/tea and fresh juice. Morning 2, fruit platter with greek yogurt, followed by a little corn cake (not sure what it was but it was delicious) with some jam on it and either a choice of pesto/feta omelette with greens and toast or waffles with sliced baked apple and whipped cream with sausage. It was all made from scratch to order. This breakfast would easily be $25 plus in a restaurant... The hosts Katie and Steve were extremely helpful, nice and caring. They couldn't do enough for us. They were knowledgable about the area and gave great advice on where to go. They manage inn together and do all the cooking. Kudos to them for doing a great job. I have already recommended this place to my family and know my artsy mom will enjoy staying here when she visits in the future. The only negative that I may have, is the parking. Though we were lucky enough to get parking in the driveway throughout our stay, if it's very busy street parking may be a hassle with the Maine parking laws. This may be a similar issue with other places however. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the experience and feel lucky to have come across this inn for a fantastic, romantic stay. Hope to come back soon.

The Pomegranate Inn is grand and eclectic, yet easy to settle into. Especially when you get to your room and can appreciate the decor and attention to comfort the management has put into it (or at least continued to maintain from previous incarnations). The bed was comfortable and the bedding was luxurious; the most important part of the stay. Room 4 is also beautifully appointed with high back chairs and a fireplace (for another season, not this one!). It was the kind of room you could stay in for days and days without feeling cramped or eager to get out. We awoke to a giant spider staring at us from the ceiling, but fortunately we were checking out and didn't have to call the fire department to come kill it (since the ceilings are extra high with no chance of us reaching it).

The Pomegranate Inn is pretty amazing. As soon as you walk in, its magical. The house itself is whimsical and very quirky with bursts of colors and patterns. But its also very quaint. I forget the name of the person who checked us in but she was a doll and super nice and helpful. Walking up the stairs, I couldn't help but notice the awesome leopard print rug that aligned the stairs. As we made our way up the Room 2, it was all so neat to look around. I felt like a kid in the candy store, eyes wide just taking in all the colors and art pieces. Our room was huge, it had a king size bed which actually was 2 twins beds put together but it was hardly noticeable when laying on it. It had a couch and 2 small one seaters by the fireplace. The walls look like they were hand painted. The bathroom was spacious and clean. There is a flat screen TV in the room but its very small, we didn't watch any TV during our stay but there is cable and a variety of channels. The fireplace is gas operated and came in pretty handy during the cold nights and heated up the room really well. Our radiator kept making loud clanging noises every few hours, so we left it off during our stay. The fireplace kept our room warm as it heats up pretty fast. The room also comes with wine glasses and a wine opener which was perfect since we stopped in NH on the way up and bought a few bottles to enjoy. The breakfast here is the best part. Breakfast is served from 8-930am but you are more than welcome to come earlier as they have coffee and tea set up. You will meet the couple who manages the Inn, Dana and Greg Moos. They are super nice. Dana makes the breakfasts and it is amazing! Much like the Inn, her dishes come out looking like a masterpiece. Presentation is awesome. Our first morning we had eggnog French toast with pecans on top. It came right after our kiwi and watermelon fruit salad with a really good creamy cucumber sauce. The next morning we had port wine poached pears followed by Egg Roulade filled with Leeks, Parmesan and topped with Maine Lobster and Sherry Butter. It was sooo delicious. The one nice thing about breakfast here is sitting at the large table and meeting the other guests of the Inn. We all happened to be from the Boston area and it was really nice to talk about "home" and other things. Between 4-730pm, they serve Intermezzo in the sitting room on the main floor. They put out sweet treats (cookies and awesome mini cream cheese cakes) along with tea and coffee. This is great when you had a full day of exploring Portland and come back to take a break before heading out again. Overall, I recommend if you ever find yourself in Portland, to stay here. Its within walking distance of many restaurants but also a short drive to the main downtown area. They have street parking here and you can always find a spot. They also have free wi-fi and the networks is pretty fast.

Best B&B I've ever stayed at. It's hard to go wrong with a B&B, but the Pomegranate Inn surpasses all expectations of a B&B. I will comment on ROOM, FOOD, and OVERALL. ROOM: Many B&Bs are old homes that have been restored, often to near meticulous representations of their Victorian roots. The Pomegranate Inn, however, is dedicated to the owners love of interesting and diverse art. While much of the house is decorated in period antiques, there are a lot of unique eccentrics from the art on the walls, interesting lamps that abound, to the unique artfully painted rooms. Our room was very large, the bed extremely comfortable, and the entire feel very homey. We posted some pictures on a photo sharing site, and were met with many comments from relatives who were jealous at not living close enough to visit. FOOD: Hands down, the best. Not the best for a B&B, but the best PERIOD. We came to Portland for a fine dining Farm-to-Table event the night before, and have actually raved MORE about the breakfast we had at the Pomegranate than we did for the event. Dana and Greg served an asparagus and goat cheese frittata, along with a caramelized banana/pineapple cairn. The presentation of all the food looked just like the picture from Dana's book - absolutely top notch, 5 star. If I'm ever just passing through Portland, I will likely call just to see if I can stop by for breakfast. Amazing food - simply amazing. OVERALL: Overall, I think I'd go back to Portland JUST to stay here again. Great rooms in a cool eclectic house, a FANTASTIC breakfast, all within a very short drive of downtown.

We stayed here on our first ever trip to Maine and are glad we did. The Inn: Beautifully decorated with an artist's eye. Comfortable and inviting. Friendly staff. We stayed in Room 3 which had hand painted walls and was the perfect size for the two of us. I'm a sucker for skylights so the one in the bathroom really won me over. There was also another sitting area right outside our room. The Food: Get ready for artistry on a plate. We had grapefruit brulee and a souffle with a pomegranate coulis, fresh fruit and candied bacon. I was a huge fan of the candied bacon, which was crispy, savory, and sweet and the massive amount of fresh fruit on the souffle. My husband was a huge fan of the souffle and candied bacon. We also got to taste some chocolate cookies that were almost brownie like and delicious, but would be even better hot. Special touches included a much appreciated hair dryer that was actually made this century and was normal sized and refrigerator in the common area. Location: The actual street that the inn is on is very charming, however if you're planning to head to the wharf and Old Port a car ride is probably in your best interest

Stayed here for two days while we were touring the northeastern United States. Friendly service, clean and comfortable, and conveniently situated in a nice neighborhood near the waterfront, dining, etc. You can walk to the waterfront - it's maybe a mile or so? The B&B has 8(?) rooms - 4 on each floor. Some of the rooms are quite large. We stayed in a small(ish) room on the third floor, so we only had a shower in our bathroom, but that was okay for us. The bed was very plush and comfortable. There was a nice selection of Maine-related magazines (and a refrigerator for guest use) in the sitting room on the first floor. The breakfasts were nice, with table service, freshly made fruit/yogurt drinks, and at least two choices on the menu. The woman who worked in the afternoon gave us a recommendation for an Italian restaurant that was within walking distance of the B&B. It was a good recommendation. I would recommend this B&B to friends and family. The only drawbacks were the lack of parking on the grounds, the small television (more like a very small computer monitor), a weak wi-fi signal in our room, and the lack of central air conditioning. You will need to find street parking, and there are rules about which side of the street you can park on. We had a window unit that may be too noisy for light sleepers. All-in-all, though, a nice place to stay.

We stayed at the Pomegranate Inn last Saturday night for the first time based on the reviews I found on-line. Well, the reviews are correct - the Pomegranate Inn is one of the best B & B's we've been to. The room was comfortable and private (rm.3), the woman who greeted us when we arrived and the owners the next morning were extremely pleasant and helpful, and the breakfast was to die for (the afternoon cookies they put out were yummy too). We will definitely be back to stay again -

Before I begin, let me say that I am not really a fan of the B&B. When we travel, we usually pick the large hotel chains. Maybe we like the anonymity, the large screen TVs, the in-room coffee, etc. We wanted to visit friends in Portland, and when we saw a deal on Jetsetter for the Pomegranate Inn, we decided to go for it. The Inn is very nice and has some amazing, unusual art. Everywhere you look, you will be amazed at the collection. Some wonderful, some made us wonder why anyone would have it. But all of it interesting. The pluses of the Inn include the wonderful breakfasts, the comfortable beds, the cleanliness, and the friendly staff. But there were some things we didn't like. First and foremost, the lack of an in-room coffee machine. They serve coffee starting at 7:30 in the dining room, but my wife gets up at 5:30, and those two hours are an eternity. Would it be so difficult to put a single-brew Keurig in each room? The room we got (#3) was pretty small. There were larger, unoccupied rooms. If it were me, I would put the first-time guest in the best room available. Not that there was anything wrong with Room #3, but it is very tiny. And finally, the location. We had not been to Portland before and we would have chosen a place closer to the main shopping and dining areas. Driving and parking were not really a problem, but next time we visit Portland, we will most likely choose a larger hotel closer to the downtown area.

My wife and I stayed here the first weekend of September 2013. It is a nice, but not a spectacular B&B. I say this, because it is priced similarily to many B&B's in the selectregistry.com , and it is not up the quality found in the Select Registry. If the Pomegranate was priced less, I would be less critical. Good parts; friendly, attentive staff, wonderful art collection, EXCELLENT breakfasts, and charming rooms. The bad; it would be nice if they supplied water for guests, the tv in the room was quite small, and didnt have tv in the bedroom(which is where most people want to watch tv from when on a vacation). Also dissapointed there were no DVD/VCR's available in rooms to watch a flick, no "On-Demand" option either. We spent much our time exploring Portland, but sometimes we want to veg-out on vacation. Bathroom was clean, BUT, toilet had a large crack in it(repaired, but a crack none the less), shower fixture was just cheapo gas pipe from hardware store. There are cracks in the paint of ceiling in sitting room of room 8, cracks in paint of exterior of the inn, and the way the window AC unit was sealed with peeling back tape was poor. My wife and I walked most of our time in Portland as it is quite small, only about 2 miles across. However, that being said, the Pomegranate is relatively far from "the action". I wouldnt tell anyone to avoid the Pomegranate, but we will not return, at least not at the prices they charge.

While in Portland you must check out the Pomegranate Inn. Its like staying in a cool artsy downtown house. I stayed in room 3 (link here: pomegranateinn.com/room3… ). It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland with its quirky bed and decor- I loved it! Especially the hand painted walls. I am a sucker for details like this. The innkeeper that greeted us was super friendly and accommodating. The room was on the top floor with huge windows and the bed was very comfy. My only complaint was the door to the bathroom was not really a door. It had slits in it so it made privacy in the bathroom somewhat non existent if you know what I mean. (just a heads up if you are traveling as a couple). It was our anniversary and they gave us chocolate dipped strawberries with a nice little note- super nice. I found the cork opener and wine glasses in each room a very nice touch. Onto breakfast. The first breakfast was very SWEET- some type of sweet bread pudding and caramelized bananas and bacon. It was good- but a bit too rich for me in the morning. The best part was the next morning. We told the innkeepers that we had a very early flight and had to miss breakfast and they left us a goody bag full of delicious breakfast just for us! (home made granola and fruit and almond milk and pears- yum!!!) I would definitely stay here again but maybe in another room with a real door to the bathroom ;-)

We stayed in this bed & breakfast place when we travelled to Portland, Maine last year. (yes, i know, long overdue review). This B&B is in a rather residential area. The whole neighborhood contains east-coast styled and red-brick structured houses, which looks quite historic and charming. We instantly fell in love with the neighborhood. When we walked into the B&B, we knew we made the right decision choosing this place. It was just so neat and lovely. All the detailing in the house indicated this is a house with history and stories. It was nicely maintained. The decoration looked very warm and cozy. All the small things on the desk, on the shelf, or on the ground caught our attention. It was not difficult to notice the display of pomegranate ornaments everywhere. We checked in late. The person who stayed there for the afternoon shift was nice enough to wait for our arrival before she took off for the day. She brought us to our room, which was again quite charming. I felt like I went to a flamboyant fantasy room back in time. In the morning, there was a cook who came in to prepare us breakfast. We were sitting in this beautiful dining room with other guests. The breakfast was quite tasty. The service was quite accommodating, too. This place is like a gem hidden in a small and quite l town. I wish I can go back there again if chance permitted.
(5)Ms. Review S.
Best breakfast ever. This B&B is in a nice residential neighborhood and you can walk to downtown Portland in about 10 minutes. The decor is interesting and you'll never run out of things to look at. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms and it was great for one night. WHEN I come back, I'm going to book one of the larger rooms because I'd like a little more room to spread out. The room was clean and I enjoyed the lotion, smells like almond! The staff was friendly and helpful. This is a great place to stay if you're in Portland!

Recently, my boyfriend and I took a short holiday to Portland and stayed at the Pomegranate. Now having grown up a "city girl", I admit that in the past I have been terrified of bed and breakfasts. Whenever a friend would tell me of a relaxing weekend getaway to one, I could only imagine her spending the entire holiday trying to escape an axe yielding whacko. Thankfully, I realized years ago that my fears of intimate bed and breakfasts were unfounded. The Pomegranate is beautiful. They offer tea and snacks in the afternoon as well as a homemade breakfast in the morning. They are very accomodating to one's diet as well. Vegetarian? Allergies? No problem. They'll fix something you can eat. This holiday was the first in a long time that actually allowed for relaxation and I thank the Pomegranate Inn for playing a large role in that.
(5)Christy H.
Huge fan, repeat guest and now Dana and Greg Moos are running it and it could not be better. Love the location, quiet western part of the city, gorgeous rooms and the breakfasts are simply outstanding. Any day that starts out with candied bacon is going to be a good day! So nice to have a quiet place to retreat to after a day of exploring the area and eating at Portland's amazing restaurants.
(5)Rich U.
The Pomegranate Inn is amazing in so many ways. The art, the food, the coffee, the decor, the staff... We came here for our honeymoon and ever year for our anniversary, and plan on coming back many more times.
(5)Catherine H.
Best place to stay in Portland. The Inn is gorgeous with a whole bunch of beautifully arranged unique pieces of furniture and decor, everything clean and tidy with a wild artistic flare. My boyfriend and I drove up to Portland for a romantic B&B weekend and stayed in room 6. Bed was luxurious, room was beautiful, bathroom spotless... It was perfect. Breakfast in the morning was to die for. Best breakfast I have ever had. Stay here!
(5)jessica s.
What an adorable Inn. Each room has so much going on in terms of color and decor. It's warm and funky and cozy. The staff is SO sweet. The breakfast is AMAZING. The neighborhood is ridiculously nice. I had been to Portland a few times, but just the downtown area. The west end is definitely worth checking out.

My boyyfriend and I decided to drive the coast of Maine for a few days with minimal planning, with the exception of our first night in Maine, which we booked at this B&B , located a 10 min walk from downtown Portland. We loved it upon arrival and learned Martha Stewart had just left. Bummer I missed her, but we figured it must be special. The on-site welcoming committee, Scott , was attentive and on the money for dining recomendations. Our room with a private terrace was dreamy and conducive to quite a romantic evening. Tea , coffee and a sweet treat are served daily at 4PM and the breakfast was fresh and fantastic. Great way to start our voyage. Upon completion of our travels in Maine, we gravitated back to this lovely inn and to luckily an available room for our final night in Maine. Great location, great B&B . Life was grand.
(5)Colleen R.
This B&B is amazing! The owners were awesome, the room was beautiful, clean, nice!! We will definitely be back and are thinking of giving a one night stay as a gift!
