"Lovely, walkable B&B"

10.0

Lovely inn within walking distance of Bar Harbor town, shops, shore path, and Bar Island path. Close enough to Acadia that you can return several times a day if you need to break it up or missed something due to crowds. The Holland Room had a huge King bed with a separate room with a twin which was perfect for my Mom and I to each have our own space on our 3 night stay. The room was very clean although the rug could be replaced or spot cleaned, it had some obvious stains. There was a choice of 2 Breakfast options each morning and yummy baked goods in the afternoon. Tea, coffee, and wine were offered. Highly recommend.

Comfortable and clean accommodations, great location, friendly and helpful staff (especially Anna) that went above and beyond expectations, breakfast and afternoon tea were made fresh and delicious. Common areas provided a place for friends to gather while at the inn. All in all a wonderful experience.

Breakfast and the afternoon tea were delicious. My husband was not feeling well and they kindly prepared a breakfast tray for him in the room, much appreciated!

Nothing - the many thoughtful touches make this an excellent destination.

"Unpretentious, Inviting Inn with Top-notch Breakfast & Great Location"

10.0

We had a wonderful stay at the Primrose in early May. Anna and her staff took great care of us and Chef Reckel outdid himself with his incredibly delicious breakfasts and afternoon treats. His baked oatmeal was some of the best we've ever had. In addition to the food and treats, we enjoyed the blueberry coffee and appreciated the complimentary wine. All in all, we found the Inn to be welcoming and unpretentious and would absolutely return. Kudos to Anna and all her staff who are providing great service to their guests. PS We also took advantage of the outdoor rockers during a particularly nice weather day.

"Beautiful Primrose Inn"

10.0

Absolutely beautiful home. We stayed in room 8 which had the perfect blend of modern and classic aesthetic. The room had access to rockers on the most relaxing porch. We took advantage of the delicious coffee. Best coffee we had all weekend! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We absolutely adored Elle. She had amazing suggestions and we were so happy she was there to check us in and out. The food was absolutely delicious. The Primrose was minutes from gorgeous downtown Bar Harbor. Thank you for your warm welcome and hospitality.

"Spectacular place!"

10.0

The Inn was amazing- from being greeted by Elle and her recommendations, the delicious breakfasts and baked goods prepared by Reckel, to the rocking chairs on the front porch! This place is the best! Close to the park and being completely walkable to everything in town was a plus too! Everyone we encountered was outstanding, ready to help with a recommendation for food, hikes- anything you could think of!
