Amazing place! Feels like home. Place has a great atmosphere, room was very clean. Welcoming staff who go out of their way to help and give all the necessary tips (Jill you are the best). Breakfast was delicious. Coffee and homemade cookies are served at all time.

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.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Primrose! It was the perfect location in Bar Harbor with restaurants in walkable distance and about a 10 minute drive to Acadia National Park. The bed was very comfortable and the room was plenty big for 2 people. The complimentary wine was just a bonus! Each one of the staff members was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. Anna checked us in and immediately made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. She gave dinner recommendations and hiking recommendations for the next day. The chef Reckell made an outstanding breakfast each morning. There were always fresh baked goods as a starter and 2 options for main entrees. Each was served with a side and fresh fruit. Everything we tried was delicious! Billy was very attentive while serving us breakfast. We were always greeted with a smile and great hospitality. Brandon made great conversation and stepped in to help whenever it was needed. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend The Primrose to anyone traveling to Bar Harbor!
