Cons -

Not one thing. After 26 years of going to Bar Harbor, 2 or 3 times per year, this was our first time staying at the Primrose. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Loved everything about it.
I liked it all. The coffee was fabulous, too!

The inn is charming Our room and the common areas were spotlessly clean. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stayand the location allowed us to walk to most places we wanted to visit.

Everything was perfect! Room 7 was just what my husband and I needed for our anniversary. Beautiful decor, very clean and the bed was more than comfortable. Breakfast each morning exceeded expectations with wonderful quiche dishes and waffles.

Lovely! Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, also with bookings for dinner and the lobster boat ride. Afternoon tea and breakfast were superb! Excellent parking facilities, generously offered beverages, free WiFi. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
