    Peaceful and welcoming

    Wonderful being able to walk on the beach with our dog. The staff was friendly and very attentive to service for dogs and their companions. Many places to go for long walks and enjoy life!

    Dog Friendly Grand Hotel

    We have been going to the Colony Hotel for years. Lots of guests being their dogs. You get to know the other guests and dogs over the years. Great property with a salt water pool over looking the ocean. If you want a snooty hotel go elsewhere. If you want a friendly fantastic property that welcomes dogs and nice people this is the place.

    Great pet-friendly hotel

    Our dog was greeted at check-in with treats and Mom and Dad were welcomed with champagne. Very dog friendly hotel. Will definitely be back but not in the summer when there is no AC in some rooms.

    The Best!

    The Colony Hotel was the absolute best experience we have ever had in Kennebunkport and in general. They were so friendly, warm and welcoming and kind to our fur baby. The manager was always walking around, making conversation and we could not have been more pleased with our stay! Thank you!

    Very Dog Friendly

    The Colony provided a very nice dog friendly vacation retreat for my husband and I and our 5 year old Black Labrador. This was one of the few vacation spots I could find that allow big dogs (which I find baffling as it's been my experience, it's little dogs that make the most noise!). Dogs were welcome everywhere with the exception of the carpeted formal dining room and the pool deck. They even have a dog friendly beach right across the street. I highly recommend this hotel for dog lovers.

    Beautiful location!

    This property is gorgeous, and the best feature is the private beach where my dog romped in the waves and raced across the sand leash-free. We had the beach to ourselves every morning before breakfast, and then I enjoyed eating on the porch with my pooch at my side. I couldn't be more pleased with the room (in the east house), the food, the beautiful grounds, and the dog friendly atmosphere.

    A wonderful vacation for the whole family including our dog

    Arrived at Colony with a welcoming to our Pug Mia with mini dog biscuits and sparking wine for us humans! The hotel and staff made all of us very comfortable. Mia the Pug relaxed by the pool and ordered a grilled chicken hold the condiments while we enjoyed lobster and a delicious salad with shrimp. The grounds are beautiful and I saw dozens of other dogs vacationing as well at the Colony Hotel. Our room was exceptionally clean and adorable. A nice deep soaking tub and comfy bed with a ceiling fan made us all happy. The beach is a couple minutes walk across a little roadway and was dog friendly all day! We found the whole area very dog friendly and will return.

    Dog Friendly

    Beautiful location, ocean right across the street. Really nice staff. Beautiful and charming hotel. Room was a little small and no air conditioning or TV in the room. Kind of thin walls and had people above us that sounded like they were moving furniture all hours of the night. Beautiful place but not sure of the high cost for what you get.

    Lovely stay

    Loved our stay! We stayed in one of the non-main buildings and I was a little hesitant looking at the pics (and even when we saw the building on the outside), but it was adorable in the inside! Breakfast was great. Location was great. Staff was great. Can’t wait to go back!

    Best Place

    The staff was amazing from the moment we arrived. I was concerned about no air conditioning and TV but truly it made the experience better. The open air and no TV made it easier to enjoy the outside. The beach and pool were both dog friendly.

    Nice Ambiance, No Amenities

    Dogs were welcome, but even with our Service vest ....we were questioned every morning except the 4th day for our complementary breakfast.
    Didn't see in email that there was No TV, No Refrigerator, No micro. Clock Radio was 1 HR.20 mins off.... Couldn't fix it to correct time. Light in closet worked sometimes, never replaced after asking for it to be. Great view of Ocean.

    Great place for pets! Humans too.

    Great weekend at the Colony with our buddy Zeus. He enjoyed the outdoor patio and time at the pool. Staff was fantastic and we appreciate everyone’s efforts to make us all feel at home.

    Beautiful hotel and grounds!

    This was the third time we stayed at the Colony with our golden retriever, and we were not disappointed. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and dogs are allowed in the lobby, the porch, some parts of the patio and grounds. The beach across the street is pet friendly in the mornings and evenings, and there are many places to walk with your pet. We will definitely be going back again!
