Living in Portland means that Freeport is a short drive away, and I have written about Freeport before. However, because this quaint town is so close, I’ve never had the opportunity to spend the night. That changed when I booked my room at the Harraseeket Inn.
Located right in downtown Freeport, the Harraseeket Inn is a sizable hotel. Housing a couple of meeting rooms, an indoor swimming pool, and a restaurant on top of a number of rooms is a sizable feat. The room I stayed in was cozy and clean, with a shower and tub combination in the bathroom.
The Broad Arrow Tavern is the restaurant attached to the inn. The food is delicious and fairly priced, and the ambiance is that of an intimate setting. The Broad Arrow Tavern serves a variety of sea food and land fare, all of which looked absolutely appealing. I had the crispy calamari, a cup of clam chowder, a small Caesar salad, and a burger, and I would recommend everything!
While I was researching the Inn, I discovered that the Harraseeket hosted teatime as well! Entry into tea time is included with the room, or if you’re not staying at the hotel, it’s a $10.95 entry fee. Tea and coffee are served, along with finger sandwiches, brownies, scones, chesses and fruit. Teatime is located right off the lobby in a room with a fireplace, adding to the luxury of the event.
The Harraseeket Inn also serves breakfast in The Maine Harvest dining room. While unorthodox, I recommend making a reservation at the front desk, as breakfast can get busy. The breakfast is primarily a buffet style, with a wide variety of food. I ended up having a blueberry muffin, French toast, and bacon, and all of it was delicious as well!

As my time at the Harraseeket Inn came to a close, I found myself wondering where I was going to go next. As it happens, I know exactly where my adventures will take me, and I’m excited to share it all with you!
