Review of Bass Cottage Inn, Bar Harbor
Nestled in the heart of Bar Harbor, Maine, Bass Cottage Inn offers a quintessential New England experience that balances cozy charm with luxury. This beautifully restored 19th-century inn is located conveniently close to the town’s bustling shops, restaurants, and waterfront, making it ideal for those who want to explore the best of Bar Harbor. Yet, it remains tucked away enough to provide a peaceful retreat. The breakfast at Bass Cottage Inn is truly a highlight, showcasing a delicious selection of homemade options that start your day off right. The frittata, in particular, stands out. Made with fresh, local ingredients, it’s cooked to perfection, with a blend of savory flavors that elevate a simple breakfast to an indulgent experience. Whether you’re a fan of eggs or not, the frittata is a must-try and pairs beautifully with their freshly brewed coffee. Inside, the inn features several inviting sitting rooms that are a treat to explore. These spaces are meticulously decorated with tasteful antiques, plush furniture, and art that echo the historic charm of the property. Each room offers a unique ambiance—from cozy nooks by the fireplace to airy spaces with ample natural light. These sitting rooms invite you to unwind, read a book, or simply savor a quiet moment, making them perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. Another major advantage of staying at Bass Cottage is its proximity to Acadia National Park. The inn’s location al

Room had an amazing view of the harbor and a sitting area with a gas fireplace. Was expecting a real fireplace but they only had gas. Our original room had to be changed due to no working fireplace and at this time of year that adds to the ambiance of the experience. Staff was accommodating and friendly.

This is the best hotel I stayed in during my trip on the East Coast. Walker and Whitney were wonderful. I felt so welcome and the atmosphere was friendly the entire time I was there. The property was beautiful, the rooms were perfectly clean and it was very quiet. On top of that the beds were super comfortable and the breakfast in the morning was wonderful. wish I could give them 10 stars!

Peaceful, charming, comfortable, clean … PERFECT!
Absolutely amazing. 10/10. We stayed in the Lilac room - the one with the raised ceiling on the third floor in the Ullikana house. The house was stunning. It felt like a step back in time in an English garden with the beautiful Tudor-style home. Our room was huge with lots of seating. The bathroom and shower were great. The bathroom mirror was perfect for someone maybe 5’8” … I was too short and my husband was too tall … but no points are being deducted because they had a handheld mirror in the bathroom and two other mirrors in the bedroom. The king bed was very comfortable. It was wonderfully peaceful and quiet. As we checked in, they were serving afternoon tea with a variety of homemade sweet treats in both houses. The breakfast was fantastic - a sweet option (bananas foster waffle) and a savory one (sausage and sweet pepper frittata) both served with hash browns and fresh fruit. While waiting for breakfast, they brought us each a piece of crumb cake. There are plenty of common seating areas in both homes with books and games available, plus backyard seating looking out over the water. I wish we stayed more than one night! If we are in the area again, there is no question that we would stay here again.

Beautiful place to stay. It is an old property that has been meticulously maintained. Walker was our "host" and was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very nice. The accommodations were located walking distance to shopping and harbor. The guest services were very nice with hot tea and coffee, ice and goodies for guests. It was an absolutely beautiful room and inn!
