"Great location for a visit to Brunswick. We took the Downeaster from Woburn for an overnight. Our room was on the first floor in the Carriage House which was nicely decorated but the noise from the room above was a bit much: we could hear the other guests conversations and movements. We were able to enjoy both dinner and breakfast in the main building."
