Beds were very comfy and sheets felt great"
"Wonderful stay! The hotel staff were kind and helpful if I had a question. It was a perfect location for access to the pier and town of Rockland. Would absolutely stay here again."
"The staff was extremely warm and helpful. We would highly recommend Berry Manor to anyone staying in the Rockland area. We found that Rockland was the perfect place to stay that had access to all the places we wanted to visit but was less crowded. It was perfect."
"Wonderful and welcoming "old school" motel on the Rockport/Rockland border. Beautiful trees and greenery insulate the property from the road noise of Route 1. Our room had a back porch looking out on trees and flowers. Friendly staff welcomed us, and greeted us again for our free and delicious breakfast on the breezy cool porch of the main house. My wife and I will stay here again on our next trip to Maine. Five Stars!"
