DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. iT IS A RIP-OFF. I GOT THErE EARLY AND HAD THE MISFORTUNE TO GET INSIDE THE PROPeRTY EARLY. THIS IS A HOARDER HOME THAT SMELLS LIKE CAT PEE. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I WERE SCARED TO STAY ThERE. Also they suggest you have dinner there and the place is overgrown with plants. Truly in 44 years of traveling in the US and around the world this is the worst place to stay that I have ever been. We left and called Expedia to cancel even before the check in time and the owner conveniently didn’t answer their call for a week. I have told Expedia this place is not up to their standards. The owners, of course, refuses to return our 300+ dollars we had paid for the room. I’m sum, stay away. Far away.

Quarkie hotel in the country
Was a great B and B. Not too hard to find. We found it without a working GPS. Such a beautiful old farm house with artwork all over the walls. Breakfast is too die for lol. Dominika makes a great buckwheat blueberry pancakes and eggs and shrimp. The rooms are nicely furnished in a farm country style. The gardens out back are a must to explore. We were amazed by how much flowers one can fit into a small plot. Wish we had explored it sooner then right before we left.

Beautiful B&B with fun and interesting owners!
Upon arrival, we immediately felt at ease. The owner's are delightfully unique and personable! The room was comfortable and well provisioned. The breakfasts were high end resturant quality, with fresh ingredients right from their garden! The location is a perfect home base to explore from, plenty to see close by. But, the true treasure of this place is the owners themselves. Make sure to leave time in your schedule to engage with them!

Stay somewhere else
Rooms are not clean; the linens had spots on them; the carpets in the room were very dirty and not vacuumed; the matresses of the twin beds were old and very uncomfortable; we did not sleep well at all; spare yourself a sleepless night and go somewhere else.

Waldoboro B & B Maine adventure -
We had a highly memorable lovely visit staying at La Vatout. The house is wonderfully old and very homey. The innkeepers are warm, creative, and interesting enlightened women. We loved our conversations with them. We were given lots of great ideas for outings, restaurants, etc. and assistance with making reservations for them. Breakfast was over the top great. The innkeeper really went out of her way to satisfy our every breakfast need including making special sausage and buckwheat pancakes from scratch to fresh ground coffee both decaf and regular. The setting is casual, earthy, and artistic. Our room was large enough to navigate around in easily with views of beautiful hemlock trees out our windows, lots of books if we wanted to read. It was convenient to connect to route 1 and the many Maine excursions.

The innkeepers are very friendly, and we enjoyed talking with them and meeting their pets. However, future guests need to be aware that this place is not at all suitable to guests with any kind of physical disability. We both found it difficult to climb up the extremely steep steps to our bedroom on the second floor. It was also difficult to navigate the steep and uneven concrete steps to the front door, and the handrail was dangerously loose. Our room was very hot, and the furniture was cheap & uncomfortable; only 2 hard chairs. The place has no sitting room & no porch for guests, so if guests want to sit somewhere to read or relax, they must go out to the garden (quite pretty, but not really accessible for elderly or handicapped or less-than agile folks). They could also sit in a rather dirty-looking arm chair in the kitchen, which I did not find to be an appealing option. As a final warning--our room had no key, and the owners don't lock the front door. The owners are very intelligent women with interesting personal histories, but they need to clear out a lot of clutter in and around their place and do some serious maintenance for the comfort and safety of guests!

Le Vatout is conveniently located just off Route 1. The Inn is perfect for a short overnight stay if you are traveling up route one. The bedrooms are small, and do not offer airconditioning. The hostess has a cat, who just might nap with you, and a beautiful friendly dog. The hostess is lovely and welcoming. She will give you a lay of the land and help you make it to the most desirable destination spots in the area. I really enjoyed chit chatting with the other guests at the breakfast table. And, our host makes a mean breakfast! Yum!

We were disappointed in that the B & B did not have a parlor or sitting room to enjoy, just our room or the garden area (unfortunately it had been raining so this was not an option for us). There was no t.v. or wifi. Our room did not have a lock, in fact, the door would not stay shut and in the room was a round rock provided to help keep the door closed. This was ineffective in that the door would pop open unexpectedly and the rock would roll away! There was also a dog that greeted us upon our arrival with some serious barking and the dog actually followed us up the steps and into our room. People with allergies should be aware that there is a dog.

Exactly perfect !
Wonderful hostess. Great German breakfast and scintillating conversation. Charming old house without all the frilly gee-gaws. More typical of the European bed & breakfasts--comfy, cozy, homey place to lay one's head.

Le Vatout - a true taste of Maine
Conveniently located older homey B&B in a small town. Large beautiful gardens to stroll around and relax in. Room and bed was comfy. Large bath - loved the large roomy shower! Hostess was a wonderful cook - breakfasts were great! She knew all about the town and other things to see and do in nearby towns. We tried them all and they were all that she described! Would definitely stay here again!

Great getaway!
We stayed at Le Vatout while attending the North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland, ME. The B&B is in Waldoboro, about 15mi from Rockland (take US 1N). Our room was very comfortable, the B&B garden was beautiful, and the owners were great. If you go, try Dominika's blueberry buckwheat pancakes, the ginger rhubarb jam, and the Chinese green tea. We'll definitely go back.

The hosts are great. Although we shared bathroom with other guests, and the bed was not extraordinary comfortable, it is good for price and you never regret staying there.

Quirky, interesting hosts
Le Vatout is a small B&B with character and interesting hosts. Very personal, not for those who like big places with cocktail lounges and a pool.

Pleasant, friendly, and simple
This bed and breakfast was very clean, the hostesses were friendly, yet unobtrusive. The property outside was expansive and the gardens beautiful. I was served a delicious, full breakfast, at the early hour I requested. The bedroom was quaint, simple, with lovely artwork. There was no television or air conditioning, and the bed was comfortable enough to sleep well.

The owners run a neat, clean, comfortable place, and have great recommendations for where to go in the area. I don't know if I'd have found this little gem without this agency. Will return.
