Loved the primrose. Beautiful. Clean. Great staff. Great parking. A bit pricey but that is expected during peak season Our only complaint or piece of advice would be to have some type of drinks on the premises, especially in the evenings. We were very thirsty when we got back to the hotel and there was nothing to drink at all and no one to DoorDash it or bring it It would’ve been great if we could’ve even purchased a Coke or a bottle of water or something, but although there was was a refillable water bottle machine and we didn’t have a water bottle with us

The breakfast was excellent. The Inn offered complementary muffins and candy by the front door. The common rooms were quaint. There was a nice garden, which was a pleasant relief from the crowded Bar Harbor summer scene, and it was nice to be able to sit outside on the porch. Although check-in was a bit of a hassle, the staff were friendly.
The rooms were crowded and not very comfortable, although the beds were comfortable. The whole place seemed a bit crowded. The price may or may not have been in line with comparable places in Bar Harbor, but I would not pay $500 a night again for what was on offer.

Outstanding Inn! Every part of our 4 night stay was wonderful. Clean, large room with very comfortable bed & two relaxing chairs to watch TV or read. Included breakfast was delicious with two choices each morning. Never the same thing twice. Never ending coffee and tea available. Afternoon tea time had two snacks that were bakery good! Even a glass of wine if you desired. Every staff person was friendly and helpful. Suggestions made for sites to see and places to eat were great. Assigned parking space. Walking distance to everything.
Nothing not to love!

The location of the Primrose Inn was perfect. Most everything in Bar Harbor was easily within walking distance. The decor was well-done and the breakfasts were delicious. From the blueberry coffee to the creative dishes served, breakfast was a highlight. Additionally, afternoon "tea time" was a welcome treat. Our room albeit small was fine for our stay and direct access to the "private" porch and our rocking chairs as well as our personal parking space was wonderful. The staff was terrific, attentive and professional.
The only thing I would recommend is providing daily housekeeping service without the need to request it. Regardless fresh towels were easily available upon request.

Location was excellent. Breakfast was delicious and service was excellent. Charming place to stay with lots of outdoor porch areas to relax. Loved the property, especially the plantings.
A mirror in the room in addition to the one in the bathroom would be a big improvement for two people getting ready for the day. Another bench or chair instead of display cases in the area adjacent to the bedroom area would be much more useful.

Beautifully appointed rooms
The parking situation needs to be sorted out. We were given our designated spot but it was taken by someone else when we would return to the Inn so we had to essentially park in someone else’s spot. This happened a few times during our stay. The shower drain was clogged so we would be standing in a few inches of water by the end of the shower. Disappointing for this type of caliber bed and breakfast Inn.

The Primrose Inn is Fabulous! The staff are super helpful and kind. They always answer questions and provide advice and recommendations with a smile on their face. You can tell that they truly enjoy their job and take pride in the inn. The breakfast and tea time treats everyday were delicious. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend the Primrose to family and friends visiting Bar Harbor.

The Primrose was a wonderful place to stay during our visit to Acadia National Park. Our room was wonderful- plenty of space, a lovely fireplace, and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast each morning was perfect, and afternoon tea and snacks was an unexpected nice touch! The inn is close enough to walk to the shops and restaurants in Bar Harbor but tucked away from the crowds on Main Street. I also appreciated having a reserved parking spot for the room.
Our room was across from the kitchen, so plates started clanking in the run-up to breakfast each morning.

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!

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!
