The Primrose was truly one of the best places I have stayed. The Inn itself is so adorable and the room we had was gorgeously adorned with an electric fireplace, jacuzzi tub, king bed. Everything was immaculate and the bed was so comfy. There isn't anything negative I can think of. Brandon, the Inn keeper, was very welcoming and patient in explaining the area and giving us tips on where to go/eat. He was wonderful. Additionally, shout out to the chef, Reckel, who is restaurant quality. The breakfasts made by Reckel were so delicious and he had such a friendly and kind spirit during our short interactions. I wish I could have tasted more than just his breakfast foods! The Primrose is in a prime location..it can't get any better if you are looking for a place within walking of food/drink/grocery and it is a short drive to Acadia park. Check out Geddy's for lobster and food and make sure to hike the beehive, if able! Thunderhole was meh tbh because we just couldn't figure out the right time to go, and when it isn't perfect tide, it is very underwhelming. Acadia is such a beautiful park and it makes all the difference to stay in a wonderful place like The Primrose!

Amazing Stay at The Primrose! My girlfriend and I had the most incredible weekend stay at The Primrose, and we can’t wait to return! From the moment we arrived, the hotel felt immediately charming, cute, and cozy — it was like stepping into a home away from home. The entire space was spotless, and the cozy ambiance made our stay feel extra special. The rooms were incredibly spacious, even bigger than we had anticipated, which was such a nice surprise. We were also so happy with the number of outlets available — as we travel with a lot of electronics, this was a big plus! Having robes in the room was a lovely touch, and the bed was so comfortable, we slept soundly throughout our stay. Plus, the added seating area in the room made it feel even more homey. Breakfast was absolutely incredible! Chef Reckel treated us to tiramisu French toast, frittata, quiche, and Belgian waffles — each dish was flavorful and perfectly prepared. We were so happy to have breakfast included, and the quality was beyond what we could have hoped for. The hotel also had convenient features like AirPlay on the TV, which made it easy to watch whatever we wanted. A special shout-out to Brandon, the general manager, who was so friendly, kind, and welcoming. He truly made our stay even better, and we could tell he genuinely cares about the guests and the hotel’s atmosphere. What made this trip even more memorable is that we got engaged during our stay! The Primrose will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we will definitely be back in the future. Thank you to everyone at The Primrose for making our stay unforgettable!

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.

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.

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 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.
