What guests say
9.7 / 10 · Exceptional on Booking.com, from 145 guest reviews
Canterbury Cottage earns near-universal acclaim, with guests consistently singling out the gourmet breakfasts, genuinely warm and knowledgeable hosts, and a prime Bar Harbor location that puts shops, restaurants, and Acadia access all within easy walking distance. Rooms are praised as exceptionally spacious, modern, and immaculately clean. Minor gripes — a mattress that disappointed one guest, limited parking, a fixed breakfast time, and a premium price point — are rare and rarely considered dealbreakers.
