These folks at the Inn obviously invented customer service. Such a pleasant attitude by all the staff we encountered were fantastic. Any request was not a problem and attended to almost Iimmediately . This B & B has established a very high bar doing it RIGHT.

The service, the room, the breakfast, the cleanup and the friendliness of the concierges. All this less of 1/2 miles from downtown. And you are treated by your own name, not as a number of a room. Do not even think about going to a big hotel. Here you are in your own home.

We stayed in the Leffingwell Room in late July, 2012. The room was lovely, with a private porch and propane fireplace that made us wish it was Fall. The toiletries were extensive, with thoughtful extra touches. The maps and CD guides to Acadia National Park are very helpful, and one can pick up cold drinks on the way out, or... More

My wife and I were traveling with two other couples and all of us had a fabulous time at the Primrose Inn. We were there for four nights and breakfast each morning was truly a treat. It was our understanding that Melissa had been the new owner of the Inn for just a few months. I must say that she... More

The breakfasts and afternoon teas were absolutely delicious!

We stayed for 3 nights at this B&B. When we checked in the receptionist already gave us a complete picture about the B&B and Bar Harbor. This was an excellent introduction. We stayed in room 15. That was quite big and cosy. We really loved it. The continental breakfast is good an on top you have the choice between two... More
