Pleasant Stay at The Primrose!
We had a lovely stay at The Primrose. The staff was courteous, friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were outstanding, with two options each morning. Each afternoon freshly made cookies and dessert bars were available from approx. 3-7 pm. We stayed for 6 nights, and the options were different each day. Coffee and tea were available all day. We stayed in a Deluxe King room - it was clean, and bed was really, really comfortable - we slept amazing. The Primrose is located in a great spot - a quiet area, and able to walk to downtown Bar Harbor, where you’ll find great restaurants, bars, and companies for lobster/seal/whale watching tours, or bike/kayak rentals. Our reason for coming to Bar Harbor was to hike and bike in Acadia National Park, and we were able to drive to the Visitors Center or most of the trailheads within 10 minutes. The Primrose far exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend to my friends and family.

I am glad i chose the Primrose Inn, all of my expectations were met. Warm welcome by staff, nice and cozy room, good breakfast, tasty… the property is quaint, but it had all the amenities of a modern house. Afternoon tea with baked goodies are a nice addition… walking distance to the village center, close to the entrance of acadia national park…

Wonderful experience
We arrived during off season in February. Check in was easy and our room was beautiful. The room was quiet and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious each morning and coffee was always ready as soon as we woke up. Best bed and breakfast that I have ever stayed in.
