Canterbury cottage is a lovely home, and owners Martha and Tim made us feel at home the entire time. Snacks and beverages throughout the day, delicious hot breakfasts each morning, and a beautifully decorated, cozy, sparkling clean room made our three nights wonderful. The location is perfect right in Bar Harbor and minutes from Acadia.

We stayed here for 4 nights to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia national park. It was very convenient to downtown Bar Harbor...just a few minute walk. The house itself is very clean and well kept. The owners have 2 dogs themselves so make the stay extremely dog-friendly. We brought our chocolate lab and she was able to stay in the... More

Great location, close to downtown Bar Harbor, friendly proprietors, great breakfast, and friendly (but respectful) dogs! Coffee, tea, snacks always available. We stayed in the Garden Room - really tiny private bathroom, but otherwise very nice. Off season rates very reasonable, we would definitely recommend it!

We spent five nights at Canterbury Cottage with our puppy. We chose it because it is dog- friendly and close to shops and restaurants. We felt safe walking home, even later at night. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, and our hostess was helpful. Breakfast was delicious and varied each day so we never got bored with it... More

We had 2 rooms, Sun Island and Cottage Room. I loved my room. It was Sun Island with own thermostat, large washroom and a comfy kinf sized bed. My family had the Cottage room which they didn't love so much because they found the washroom small (my sister knocks herself everytime she showers). They also found the room to be... More

Our stay at Canterbury Cottage was incredible. We were greeted with a warm and welcoming lobby, with simplistic, warm decor! The rooms were immaculate, all with their very own bathrooms which were also quite clean! Our room was well equipped with a king size bed (with amazing linens), a t.v., our own thermostat (it was autumn when we stayed here,... More

My wife and I spent 1 night here last week. We were warmly welcomed by martha our inn keeper and Quinton, a big friendly black lab.This inn had more of a feeling of staying at a friend's house than being in a B&B. The room was small but very nice and clean, which is important to us. Breakfast was fair,... More

I chose this B&B because it was supposed to be within walking distance of shops, restaurants and attractions. It absolutely was a perfect location. Martha's breakfasts were very good and a great way to start a day in Bar Harbor. She gave us restaurant tips, maps, and good advice on the attractions in the area. Our room was very cheery... More

Excellent place to stay in Bar Harbor. Martha was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a perfect start to a full day of activities. I would recommend this B&B to anyone.
