We stayed in this beautiful inn for my husband's birthday. We were so impressed with the kindness of the owners, the nice, clean rooms, the convenient location, the 24 hour sodas, water, etc. The breakfast was wonderful as well as the afternoon tea time. From the outside landscaping to the inside details, the owners have put a lot of thought... more

This B&B is located a short walk from downtown Bar Harbor, with all of its shops, restaurants and attractions. It is also located a short walk from the Island Explorer bus which will take you all over MDI. The rooms were well equipped and offered a great deal of privacy. The breakfasts and teas were delicious and the owners were... more

Here we are a month after our trip and I am still reveling in the absolute delight of our stay at the Primrose Inn! Everything was excellent, from the lovely rooms to the delicious breakfast in the morning to the refreshing tea in the afternoon. The innkeepers are extremely aware of how to provide for their guests' needs, and do... more

My husband and I just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary by spending a week at the Primrose Inn. We had read the lavish reviews from others and now after being there ourselves I can honestly say that we are in total agreement - it is a top notch B&B and we felt truly pampered during our entire stay. It was... more

Hubby and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at Bar Harbor Memorial Day weekend '09, and stayed at Primrose for 3 nights (I enjoy B&Bs). Jeff and his wife are nice, hospitable, and prepared us well for our trips, lending us a guided CD, books, maps, umbrellas, even a flashlight! Their cooking is amazing (especially the orange juice pancakes!), and... more

First of all I want to say that I did extensive research before booking this B&B and I went by all the "great" reviews. While I must say that the inn was very comfortable and clean and I have no real complaints - it did not feel like a Bed & Breakfast at all!!!!! There are 15 rooms and the... more

We are disappointed that we did not meet the expectations of our guests from the Boston area during their one-night stay with us. The summer season in Bar Harbor is busy and we have 26 guests on a typical day. Although Catherine and I are the co-hosts/owners of the Inn, we also do all of the cooking, baking and serving...

OVERALL: My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Bar Harbor, and stayed at the Primrose Inn for 5 nights. Faced with numerous choices for accommodations in Bar Harbor, we're both very glad we chose the Primrose for our honeymoon, and if we had to do it all over, we'd choose the Primrose again. CLEANLINESS: Our first impression upon entering... more

We stayed at Primrose the first week of June, 2009 for our anniversary. We've stayed in many B and B's and I have to say this one was the best. The Innkeepers were very friendly and knowledgable. I felt completely at home while staying there. There was coffee and tea available 24 hours per day, guide books, the internet, water... more

My husband and I were very excited when we pulled into the parking are of the Primrose and saw the grand home surrounded by a beautifully landscaped yard and gardens. The owners were more than just friendly and warm, they were very detail oriented. Everything you could possibly think of to make your stay more comfortable or convenient, they had... more

The Primrose Inn is top notch B&B. We stayed in the Holland room which was very large and comfortable. It was decorated elegantly and had comfort luxuries such as a gas fireplace, ceiling fan and deep tub with spa jets in it. While we opted to sleep in over joining the other guests for the morning breakfast, the complimentary afternoon... more
