Solid option for a stay by the beach and center of york maine
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helpful when we arrived and gave us our parking pass, directions for parking options and to our room. They answered questions and requests easily. The room itself was clean the beds were comfortable and the view was beautiful since you are right across from the beach at this location. The shower had good pressure and heat and as far as I know the hotel was fully booked due to a wedding so that was excellent. Breakfast is not included but there is a restaurant onsite, the restaurant is good but on the expensive side so if you see something on the menu you would enjoy then go for it but if looking to save a bit of money go ahead and take a scenic drive to another local restaurant. It is also extremely convenient to both the beach, which is easily accessible across the street, and the main st of town which is maybe a two minute walk you could get to wild kingdom in like a 5 minute walk which is great.

Cons:

The things I didn't like were fairly minor in the scheme of things but when you are paying almost $600 for two nights those minor things do add up and factor in. The first thing is parking, it was all easily accessible to the hotel however it is tight I almost got stuck in the parking lot because a truck parked too close next to me and the parking lot was narrow to get into and out of, lines would be helpful. So I will suggest backing in if at all possible for you to make that easier. The next is the rooms, in our room someone measured once cut once and had immediate regrets because the hole for the faucet is the wrong size and place so there is a significant gap between the faucet and the counter, there is also almost no space in that bathroom to set out toiletries. The door to the room is a glass sliding door but the curtains to cover the door shouldn't have a wand to pull it, it should be a chain on the opposite side since trying to get into and out of the room with the curtain pull was problematic since the door opens inward so you are fighting the curtains and a hard stick to get out. I also for the restaurant wish they had some reasonably priced small breakfasts for guests as opposed to the pricier fancier options available..

We had a very nice time and enjoyed the cottage very much.
Pros:

We stayed at the cottage. It is a very nice space for a group or family. The location was fantastic.

Cons:

There were several problems that need attention. There wasn’t enough hot water for showers, the upstairs toilet had a broken flushing handle, the upstairs shower was very slippery without a rubber mat available.

Will be going back.
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Union Bluff Hotel and Meeting House. We stayed in the main house, and our room had a view of the ocean, and faced east, so we could see the sun rise over the ocean. The room was clean, the shower had plenty of hot water, and the room rate included a complimentary breakfast, which we hadn't realized at first. We stayed 2 nights, and the first night we ate in the pub, the food was good and servings were generous. On check in, we were given a card worth $10 off the bill (excluding alcohol) if you spent $50 or more.

Some of our comments for possible improvement would be:
The bed was very high - some petite/short guests might benefit from a step stool.
The door has 2 locks, and key holes, but the room key only works on the door knob lock, which does open the door. This caused some confusion at first. Front desk staff may want to clarify with guests.
Some of the outlets seemed to by synced to light switch by front door, so it first appeared that outlets weren't working. Signage would probably help.
That said, we will be definitely be going back, and may check out rooms in the meeting house.
