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.

We had an amazing stay at the Primrose Inn! We went for 20 yr anniversary and they took great care of us. Breakfast’s were delicious. The staff (Elle/Brandon) were super attentive to everyone’s needs. Great location close enough to walk down town but away from the busy streets. Can’t wait to go back!

This Inn was the absolute cutest! The staff was very friendly, and Brandon gave us some ideas of places to go that was very thoughtful. This Inn was very well kept and clean, and the bed and pillows were really comfortable, it was nice and quiet at night. I loved the location, it seemed more quiet than staying on the main road downtown, but we still were able to walk to everything. The breakfasts served each morning was 10/10, and they serve fresh baked desserts in the afternoon and those were incredible too! That chef is amazing. We loved our stay, and hope to be back!

This is was sweetest B&B in Bar Harbor. It was the perfect walking distance to downtown without all the business. The beds were so comfortable and the staff was truly amazing. The breakfast and afternoon tea was unique and delicious. In addition, they offer complimentary red or white wine and popcorn anytime you’d like. It was such a cozy environment. We would highly recommend the Primrose to anyone looking to visit the quaint town of Bar Harbor.

Primrose B&B Bar Harbor, ME. -Exceeded our expectations in every aspect! Definitely a must stay B & B in Bar Harbor. Being a car enthusiast one of my favorite aspects was the collection of high performance super car books on Lamborghini and other super cars. To top that off a Lamborghini parked out front of Primrose! The Inn Keeper Brandon is tops with a very professional staff. An extremely clean property. We were greeted by Anna when we checked in. A lovely lady who was very knowledgeable about Bar Harbor, things to see and excellent dining recommendations! The following morning we were greeted by Elle at the front desk and offered two different breakfast options. Elle was very accommodating to a special request. Chef Reckell hails from Jamaica and the food was outstanding. He also prepared a wonderful treat for afternoon tea. The Chef was assisted by Billy in the kitchen yet another helpful staff member. Again I applaud our Innkeeper Brandon for assembling a superior staff. My wife and I have been fortunate to of done extensive travel and we can assure you this is a fabulous property that won’t disappoint!! Safe travels to all. Warm regards, Wayne K, Captain, USN Retired

We scored a last minute one night reservation with Primrose. The room was spacious and clean, staff welcoming. We enjoyed our breakfast on the porch amongst flowers, trees and a visiting hummingbird. The location is great, a less than 15 minute walk to town, short drive to Acadia.

My wife and I can’t say enough about the Wonderful time we had staying at the Primrose recently. From the comfortable rooms, friendly staff and Amazing breakfasts it made us feel so relaxed while visiting Bar Harbor. With its convenient location we were able to walk to the center of town easily. The afternoon snacks were a nice touch to come back to each afternoon. The staff was so friendly they made you feel welcomed. We look forward to spending more time at the Primrose:
