Wonderful experience at this Hallmark like B&B.

This B&B is beautiful and in a great location. It has a warm feeling and decorated like a home out of a Hallmark movie. The room was comfortable and breakfast was delicious! Above all was the hospitality Brandon and Susie provided. They were friendly and accommodating. It is evident they value their customers and strive to provide a memorable experience. This was our first time here but plan to return next December and bring the whole family. Thank you!

N/A - Everything was perfect.

The staff, the staff and the staff. Friendly and caring innkeepers. They worked hard to go above and beyond

Nothing but if I had to offer one suggestion, softer less lumpy pillows

We stayed for several nights to explore Acadia.

The Primrose is in a good location and the staff were helpful. The breakfast and afternoon snacks were very good.

I expected a nicer property for the price. It’s a charming house but it’s tired and could use a renovation. Again, for the price I was expecting more.

Fantastic and will definitely come again!

The whole experience was delightful. The room was very clean and decorated tastefully and the chef created amazing breakfasts. A nice quiet area with beautiful gardens and porches with rocking chairs. Walking distance to downtown. EVERYTHING!!

Nothing. Just wished we could have stayed longer.

Perfect location for walking to everything in town and so close to the park entrance!

The breakfast was amazing and always included a choice of sweet or savory options with not repeats during our week stay! Tea time everyday was also a nice surprise!

Our room was right off the kitchen so there was a small amount of noise, but it was minimal and did not effect our stay!

Perfection at The Primrose

Stayed at The Primrose a couple of weeks ago and could not possibly overstate just how much my husband and I loved this place. The Inn itself is beautiful, the rooms and common rooms all decorated so tastefully, and the location was fantastic - a short drive to Acadia, or a 10 minute or less walk into the center of Bar Harbor. The breakfasts were incredible, and the extra tea/coffee/snacks provided were always welcomed. What made this place all the more special was the staff, especially Jill and Rebecca who absolutely made our stay with their warmth, hospitality, and patience with my many questions! We were there at the end of the off-season/very beginning of the busy season so it was still quiet in town, which personally we loved. Still plenty open, and made it that much more enjoyable in the park without the crowds. We will 100% be staying there again should we ever find ourselves in that part of the world again.

Having to leave!

it was awesome!!!

The staff was accommodating, friendly and provided impeccable service. The breakfast was fresh, well made, came out of the kitchen hot! The room (king suite) was spacious and clean, nicely furnished and decorated.

It would be helpful to have electrical outlets near the bed. Ours was behind the bed so it was challenging getting to it to plug in sleep equipment and electronic equipment.

The Primrose was more than we could have hoped for and the most amazing staff.

The breakfast was 5 stars, something you’d get at an expensive cafe or restaurant in town

Nothing could have been better, we can not wait to get back when they are open for the spring season

Very sweet place. A bit pricey at $413 per nite including taxes and fees.

Very well decorated. Grounds are beautiful. very well appointed. Absolutely lovely property.

We were in room 1. it is at the front of the building and faces Main Street so it was noisy.

Absolutely amazing stay!

The breakfast was absolutely amazing as were the baked goods that they put out during the day. They had fresh coffee all day and were extremely friendly and thoughtful. The rooms were very clean! The staff really went out of there way to make sure you are comfortable with great recommendations of what to eat and where to go. I could not recommend this place more!!!

My stay was comfortable and refreshing.

Breakfast was delicious, with a choice between a frittata or French toast; beautiful fruit cup and cheesy hash browns on the side; juice and coffee or tea. A great start to the day, as was a time sitting on the porch, looking at the beautiful gardens. The Primrose is beautifully located, curated, and styled. Though you are very close to the bustle of Bar Harbor's boutiques and restaurants, the property is a study in quiet elegance.

I liked everything about my stay, from the macaroons and tea upon arrival to the hearty breakfast before checking out.

Great stay. Would visit again

Great sit-down breakfast service in the morning.

A car parked on the premises outside our unit had an alarm go off every 5 minutes for well over an hour, which made it difficult to sleep.

Enjoyed our stay. Charming inn and staff. We loved the ability to walk almost everywhere.

Stayed 4 nights. Staff was delightful, and breakfasts excellent. Great location. We walked everywhere in town. Only used our car for parts of Acadia National Park. Loved our garden view, the building and design, grounds and garden, and that we could sit outside under shelter. Nice that we could walk to get to some Acadia hikes. We would stay at this inn again.

Our room was neither cleaned, nor trash emptied during our 4-day stay. Had to ask for fresh towels after three days. Our first impression on entering room 10 was a that the carpet was dirty and stained. Bottom of the tub was stained and uneven under foot. We tried to sit in the unusual room chairs. We never sat in them again and used the bed instead.

Great location, lovely place with tasty breakfast and afternoon tea!

Tasty home-cooked breakfast. We had pumpkin pancakes one day and frittata with potato hash another (they always offer a sweet and savory option). The place offers an afternoon tea with baked goods which was a lovely extra. Overall the place is very well kept, the staff around Taylor and Brendon is accommodating, knowledgeable and very friendly. We stayed in a room for 3 adults, which was very spacious. Every room has their own parking spot which made logistics very easy. The Primrose is located in walking distance from all the main restaurants and the Marina in Bar Harbor which was nice for evenings, and we thought it was the perfect location to stay in to explore Acadia National Park during the day.

The extra cost to be able to have a room that can sleep 3 rather than just 2 persons was quite a lot and it would have been great to just have the option to have an extra bed in a standard double room. Then again, the room was lovely.
