What I liked was it had a young vibe. No fussy decorating, guests can enjoy privacy and the breakfast was a delight. Staff/owners young, friendly and accommodating.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. This was the first Bed & Breakfast I ever stayed at and it really was lovely. The only bad thing was there was this annoying tapping. I’m not sure if it was the pipes or what it was. Other than that the inn was very charming and I would definitely stay there again.

We spent 2 nights at the Primrose at the end of October and wished it could have been 2 weeks! Our room was spotless and spacious, with a very comfortable bed. Th breakfasts were amazing, and the small touches like Halloween candy and cookies with tea in the afternoon added to the overall welcoming environment of the Inn. We would highly recommend it, and thank the staff for their gracious hospitality.

Staff was great. Breakfast was very good. Our problem was our room. Got the impression through the web site our room would have been much nicer for what we paid. King size bed was comfortable but took up the whole room. Literally had to walk sideways to get around the room. There was another room that had a window air conditioner in it and a small trundle like bed in it with a hole in the wall. For $500/ night, not worth it.

The King bed was comfortable in our room. We enjoyed the living area of the Inn in front of the fireplace. I think softer lighting in the bedroom would make the room more cozy. Also the sitting area in the room could use more comfortable chairs. Overall excellent facility.

Excellent location to restaurants and shopping. Our room was clean and pretty. Bed was very comfortable! pillows not so much. Comfortable chairs in room. The breakfast was delicious!! You got to choose from two options. The staff was super friendly and helpful. My only complaint was not having a fridge in my room. They had one small universal fridge for entire place. They did have ice machine and water refilling station. I would definitely go back if in the bar harbor area.

Anna the host was fantastic but the gentleman that took over after her wasn’t nearly as friendly or helpful. The Primrose is beautiful and we were surprised to find our room had a lovely balcony. Breakfast and afternoon treats were a delight!
