Château sur Mer Bed & Breakfast

The b&b was quaint as hell. It's got character, it was clean, my room had a water view and the breakfast was lovely. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Quiet, comfortable, yummy breakfast Nothing

Joan was wonderful-She greeted us immediately and made us feel very welcome. The house is incredibly charming, clean, and breakfast was wonderful-Thanks for a great experience for our first Bed and Breakfast!

B&B is conveniently located not far from the airport and by the bay. Lots of places to eat within a walking distance. The entire place looks like a museum. The room was absolutely phenomenal.

Beautiful and quiet oasis. Friendly staff and easy check in process. Restaurants were in walking distance and only 28-30 minute drive to the airport. We were able to ise public transit to arrive and found a local cabbie to take us for departure.

Lovely place, very quiet.Beautiful area/houses. We walked a couple blocks to terrific restaurants. Very convenient to airport, no traffic issues at all. Highly recommend!

Have a lovely weekend ahead. Jacqui for NZ None

Need fluffier pillows. Softer towels and more towels and wash rags. Air conditioner didn't work. Need more selections for breakfast.

Fun eclectic place! Perfect for our quick one night in Boston.

Very helpful owner and easy to access the room and facilities Nothing

It was a short drive from the airport, breakfast was included No hairdryer , not en-suite, no instructions on how to work air con or fan which coming from a cold country we don’t have those

It was overall good

Joan is very friendly and helpful. She seeks to accommodate guests in whatever way she can. My room was quiet and had a private bathroom and shower. I was able to arrive quite late my first night, around 2am, and was left clear instructions on how to get in. Everything was clean and charming. Thanks Joan!

Beautiful home, well appointed rooms, and loved the salty sea air upon arrival! Directions were mostly clear. I didn’t know I was supposed to look at the front door for information, but once I got it, it made sense and check in was easy. Privacy was well respected even in a shared home environment. Lovely neighborhood and grateful for parking! It was easy to get to the airport, which is why I chose this location. Breakfast pickings were very slim, such that I didn’t have anything to eat. At 9:20, exactly halfway through the breakfast period, all that was left was toast and half a cup of coffee - and I don’t eat bread. The bathroom was great, but I had mixed messages about whether it was private for our use or not. The planes were definitely loud, but expected.

My mother and I were the only ones going down for breakfast (everyone else was in/out), Joan being the sweetheart that she is, made us breakfast fresh every morning! Even with options available, Joan always asked what she could make for us and I thought that was a very kind gesture! The property sits on the corner of two streets and is very easy to get to. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, the ocean is about a block away and the airport is about 10-15 minutes away depending on traffic. Navigating around the Winthrop area was easy and I suggest renting a car if you’re staying for a few days (uber gets expensive). I’ve read some of the past reviews and I want to clear some things up seeing as I just stayed here.. -Yes, you can hear airplanes most of the day/night, it does stop briefly early morning hours before picking back up again. If you are a light sleeper, this property is NOT for you. Personally, I would consider myself a light sleeper but I had the ceiling fan on low as well as the electric fireplace heater, I slept good. -No one shares a bathroom! Your room either has its own bathroom or the bathroom you would be using is within close proximity to your room. Again, only you using it. -Breakfast was always ready to go right on time. Aside from the options that were meant to be cold, the food served was hot and fresh. -Joan has updated most of the house, the current pictures don’t reflect how it looks now. Joan has done a lovely job of maintaining this large property and making it as comfortable as a stay as possible. It’s an older property with real wood floors, it’s going to make noise when someone is walking! I hope this clears the air & encourages you to stay! I personally wasn’t bothered by anything during my stay.

Received an email less than 72 hours before check in saying they were overbooked and had to cancel my reservation. These things happen but they were not helpful at all and offered no compensation to make up for this inconvenience, leaving me scrambling to find last minute accommodations. I had to spend over $120 extra to book a room last minute at a different hotel (not even a comparable hotel - no breakfast, not close to the beach, less space). The next day a completely different employee called me telling me they were overbooked - clearly there is a lack of organization and commutation between employees. I sent them a follow up email with a question, no response. I ended up emailing them three times over three days and still have not received any further communications from them.

Close to dining area. Enjoyed breakfast with the other guests. The suitcase stands were very helpful. The mattress wasn't great.

Honestly, I want to be honest. We came to Boston for only one reason, to catch a flight to Paris. Going we shopped prices, staying at the Marriott Courtyard, shuttle provided, the only valuable part of the stay. We are Marriott members, this hotel was not up to standard. We heard off reservations on our return layover, BOS hotel prices increased in our 5 weeks in Europe alarmingly plus MA robs visitors in added taxes. So we switched to Booking.com that we use occasionally and we are stock holders. We looked at this place, we saw the price was significantly less, we read the glowing reviews, even realizing we had a transportation problem, the B&B being only 4.1 miles, how awful could that be? I’ll tell ya! Thirty bucks each way. So we arrive from Paris the day we stayed at this B&B a bit past noon. Luggage in hand, we called the B&B, explained our situation to hear there was absolutely no way the set rules would be bent, we also learned it was a no host check in, we were on our own and don’t show up prior to 4pm. We have already paid the money. So we went to the USO and sat for a few hours. We took a taxi to this place. Instructions were attached beside the front doors. Lots of rules, do’s and don’t’s. We get inside this try to figure out where room #3 was located. A person partially opens door, explains we were on the second floor, our personal bathroom was down the hall, the inside of the home was chilly. No heat yet turned on! We lugged our luggage up stairs. I refrain from giving my opinion on the room. I was beside myself. My spouse brought it to my attention, we’ve paid for the room, we’ve spent a fortune getting here, let’s deal with it. I complained about the temperature, a tenant told me too early to turn on heat, the price of heating fuel is through the roof. I was informed a space heater was in the closet for our use. We went out for a bite to eat. We returned and exhausted fell asleep. I ran outta space to finish. I turned on the space heater, that tripped the circuit breaker in our room, we used our iPhone light to pack and leave asap, we waited then another 5 hours at the airport. You be the judge. I was familiar with Winthrop years previously. I have to laugh. The B&B concluded my response was primarily due to my trip getting to this establishment. I was being charitable. This place doesn’t even come close to the Booking.com reviews I read. I have been in the travel industry my entire life, a five star Mariner with Holland America, cruised around the world not once but twice, visited over sixty countries, retired airline pilot, I’ve stayed in a couple hotels. BOS hotels prices spiked this time period, I simply refused to spend what the major hotels were charging. I admit, my choice was a big mistake.

Superior room Noise from airplanes

Proximity to airport, ease of after hour check in
