This was our first time staying in a BnB. I’m just not sure that it’s a good fit for us. The house was lovely and had plenty of amenities. The bed was not comfortable and we couldn’t get the AC to a comfortable temperature. We never saw the owners or any staff, not that we were there a lot, but just seemed a little different.

You couldn’t find better hosts than Dan and Joan. The absolutely beautiful house with all the talent and memories hanging on the wall to the authentic period furniture gave the house a warm, friendly and calming atmosphere. Dan is quite the talent on the piano and can sing with the best of them. And waking up to Joan’s delicious and artful breakfast was fantastic.

Very nice stay, the Raven's Nest room was very private and we had our own parking spot off the road. Super charming New England feel with some typical 'old house' B&B things, but it was great to have a full kitchen and dining space to cook and spread out. Super homey feeling, and although we never got a chance to use them, there were great amenities and extras like wine and cheese in the afternoon.

Tired Chiltern Inn

This is a beautiful Inn, but it is tired and needs some love. The photos of the Inn are not even close to what it actually looks like. It felt like we were staying in the home of a great aunt who hasn't been able to take care of her home in many years. The owners were great, but the Inn needs some serious TLC. For the price, and expectations, we were very disappointed.

A pleasant stay

This is a really cute place and walking distance to the village center. We were in the Strawberry Room, which is cute, but a bit tight. Big closet, nice furniture, but there was no table to eat our breakfast (room service) or to use a laptop. Bathroom is great, we love the jacuzzi tub. The owners are friendly and very responsive. I guess the room was supposed to be serviced daily, but that didn't happen. It wasn't a big deal for us though, as we enjoyed our privacy. Overall, it was good for what we needed during our stay and we felt really safe and felt at home.

I am from Maine and have stayed at numerous Inns and B&B's in Bar Harbor and this place is a total joke! First there were no innkeepers on site to greet guests. Next the Abbott Suite we rented for $422 did not include breakfast, not disclosed until after reservation was made! Our bathroom toilet and shower were so small you needed to go outside to change your mind! The pumping unit that moved the waste water to the sewer line was so loud it would wake the dead. I guess the inn keepers were in witness protection because they were never seen! My advice skip this place its is not worth it! Their online add looks real nice, but seeing is believing. Oh and for the owner who was a school administrator, if you ran your school the way you ran this place, the BOE would have fired you ass! DO not stay here!

An impersonal experience

We booked the Abbott Garden room, which is independent from the Inn. Check in was easy as the key was waiting from us. First impression as we walked in: it was warm and comfy, but there was not a single bottle of water waiting for us. We felt the place had some sense of entitlement for being in Bar Harbor, like "we don't need to do anything else to please you other than being located here". The bathroom has a strange arrangement with all the sewer from toilet and shower being pumped up to to go somewhere else, and that noise is weird. We did not see anyone during our stay. The shower was great and so was the king size bed, very comfortable. The living room was good but a small table would make it better (rather than 2 sofas).Oh... and we did not have breakfast available as apparently, that room is not entitled to that. We had to go out to buy something (at Choco-Latte, which was great....), come back, and eat at the sofa. It was wet in the morning so we could not use the garden area and the fire pit. The Inn is within walking distance from Bar Harbor and easy to access Acadia Park. Parking is along the road in a tight space between the street and fence, but good enough. Now all is worth because of Acadia National Park!!!!

We did have a nice time at the Chiltern Inn for our honeymoon. We stayed 5 nights with them in the Raven's Nest apartment. It was a beautiful large space with a small kitchen, living area, dining area, bathroom and bedroom. The space is decorated in china, photos, and other small items. We had a small issue with our room- which the owners took care of right away. You do not receive breakfast or coffee in the apartment, which we did know about prior to staying there. There is a fireplace on display in the room, although it is not functional. Its about a mile walk into town- but parking is available right outside the B&B. Overall, our stay was very lovely and I would recommend staying here to others.

Liked: Cleanliness

Room and property were very clean. The “garden room” which we had for two nights was comfortable, but not very private. Sitting in the garden was uncomfortable due to access to a second floor room is two feet from the thought to be private space. Given the lack of privacy, the door and curtain to the garden needed to be closed.
