Stratford

Ideal location, easy walk to restaurants & attractions in Bar Harbor. The morning breakfast was very filling - kept us full for the day for our hikes in the park. Wine & cheese in the afternoon and breakfast community table was ideal for mingling with other guests. The owners were extremely courteous and very helpful with their suggestions.

This is a really comfortable base exploring the nearby region

The location of the property is perfect! Just one block from the main strip so you are extremely close to all the food and shopping. The house is beautiful and the main areas are well furnished. The property is very clean. I ate way too many of the cookies which are left out daily- so delicious! My room was on the third floor (attic level). I loved having the space of a suite. My only issue was with the bathroom. Because the room is built in the roof line, the ceilings are low in the bathroom. The shower was very tight with a rain shower head that was too low for my fiancée who is 6’3. I’m 5’9 and just barely fit underneath.

Location and parking are great. The morning conversations with owner/ staff were wonderful and informative around a royal dining table, with a healthy scruptious home made breakfast. Bed and linens were royal indeed. The 5 to 6 pm wine cheese n crackers were a nice surprise. Loved to feel pampered.

We found this inn almost by accident. We were delighted! The staff were amazing and the innkeeper was very informative and responsive to all of our questions. The room was very comfortable, large, and homey. Breakfast each day was superb! When we come back to Bar Harbor, we will definitely stay at The Stratford.

What a wonderful experience. Anne and Bob, our hosts, were so warm and pleasant. Laine, at the desk, was extremely nice and welcoming.

We had a wonderful time at The Stratford! The breakfast was delicious, and they offered a few options. The location is perfect - within walking distance to almost everything. The building is gorgeous, and the staff were super helpful. We loved hearing about the history of the building from Anne. We would definitely stay again.

Our host was so nice, plus a great cook. Thank you Ann. We really enjoyed our stay. Would come back in a second.

We recently stayed for a long weekend anniversary trip at the Stratford and it elevated our vacation in wonderful ways! The house and accommodations are beautiful and very close to everything in downtown. We could easily walk to everything in Bar Harbor. But the thing that made the accommodations really special was the owner and staff! She made us the most incredible breakfast each morning, set out fresh baked cookies during the day, and had a wine and cheese snack in the evenings. We made time to sit, enjoy, and have conversations. The Stratford exemplifies perfectly the way life ought to be! We would definitely return!

We had an amazing stay at The Stratford, the hospitality was incredible and we enjoyed our time exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor.
