Perfectly situated to walk almost anywhere in Bar Harbor, or the National Park by car within minutes. The staff is super friendly. The room was clean and the breakfast was great each day. We really enjoyed staying at the Primrose

A terrific place in every way. Amenities, staff, lovely breakfast- and did I mention the staff? Could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Highest recommendation.
Our stay at The Primrose was absolutely amazing! We were greeted after a long drive to complementary wine and a tour of the beautiful Primrose before settling in for the night. Our room was very clean and comfortable, it really did feel like home. Breakfast each morning was delicious and our room had a private spot on the porch to drink our coffee that overlooked the pollinator garden there, we saw so many hummingbirds! Another perk was tea time snacks starting at 2pm, we absolutely loved the desserts and coffee! Truly a gem right near the heart of town!
The Primose Inn is a treasure in Bar Harbor. You feel like you’re at home during your stay. Parking is easy, great tea collection, the breakfast menu is rotating every day. Brandon and the staff members take care of everything.
Wonderful friendly staff. Charming bed and breakfast. What a delightful property. Had a wonderful stay. Close driving distance to Acadia and easy walking distance to bar harbor restaurants and sites. We will be coming back.
We had a great stay! The room was comfortable, the lounge was cozy and breakfast was fantastic! Proximity to town was within walking distance. Would definitely make a return stay.
Loved our stay here. Great location in Bar Harbor! Breakfast was amazing!
The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Have us a great list of stops to make around the island and Acadia!
Stayed in room 10 and loved it! Super comfy mattress and pillows. Loved the decor!
Will be back for sure!
