Great 3 night stay!
Amazing older house converted into a bed and breakfast. Breakfasts were wonderful! Room was small and did miss having a TV during Hurricane Milton.

4/10 Fair

We felt like we were being punished. No shower curtain in the bathroom, water was all over the floor, wall, etc. The room has a 6” slant from one side to the other. When you sleep in the bed, you feel like you are going to roll out. They could have disclosed this up front and gave us the opportunity to make our own decision. I have pictures of both.

The Holbrook house is an exceptional B&B! The building is like something out of a Hallmark movie and the owners are wonderful. The breakfast was outstanding also. We are already talking about going back and staying there next year.

10/10 Exceptional

My wife and I liked the feel/ambience of this BnB. Although on the main road to Bar Harbor proper, it was quiet yet easily accessible via a 10-min walk to shops, restaurants, and the shore walk. Adjacent to Acadia Natl Park, this is also a great base from which to explore all the park has to offer. Our room was clean, if basic (i.e., no tv or other hotel-like amenities), but we did not miss anything. The outstanding feature was the breakfast--first rate in every way and so filling/nourishing that we could skip lunch. Highly recommend for a 2-3 day stay.

First time to Maine and stayed 4 nights here. They were very accommodating, breakfasts were delightful, and so helpful. I highly recommend staying here!!! Loved everything about it!

This is a wonderful place from which to explore Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor! The B&B is clean and comfortable, and it has a lovely porch and backyard if you want to spend a little time relaxing outdoors. The hosts are warm and welcoming and have great suggestions for dining throughout Bar Harbor (our two best meals were Eric’s recommendations). My partner and I wanted to spend long days hiking in the park, and we greatly appreciated the takeaway breakfast options—they were delicious and incredibly convenient for us. Based on the quality of the takeaway breakfast and the lovely treats they set out in the afternoon, I have no doubt that the full breakfast is amazing! The inn is just a short walk from the main Bar Harbor area, which means you get a little reprieve from the noise while still having access to all the restaurants and shops. We couldn’t have asked for more, and we’d absolutely stay here again if we return!

Absolutely loved this Bed & Breakfast! Eric was a great host and incredibly friendly. The rooms were lovely and very clean. The breakfast was great and the property was gorgeous and well maintained. Rocking chairs on the porch were the icing on the cake. Would highly recommend anyone staying here!!

Very well maintained, clean, comfortable house within easy walking distance to Bar Harbor main street but not too close to the crowds and traffic. Breakfasts were excellent and the garden was beautiful! Would highly recommend.
