My boyfriend and I went to Bar Harbor for a two night get away in the "off season" of March. We choose Canterbury Cottage because of it's convenient proximity to the downtown area of Bar Harbor.... We walked everywhere! The bed was very comfortable we just meted right in, the dogs were very friendly... next time we will bring our... More

Stayed 3 nights over Christmas, this was the one and only place in Bar Harbor we could find that was open over the Holiday. It was perfect. Unlike many B&B's, this is also the home of the owners, Martha and Tim. Definitely felt more "homey" which is a bit different but was actually quite nice given it was Christmas. They... More

This was the best place on my trip. The whole house is very tastefully furnished, with quality items, the room was very comfortable, the welcome from Martha and Tim wonderful, and the breakfasts excellent. Martha accommodated a gluten-free diet in the blink of an eye. I would definitely recommend staying here, and hope I can again. They do have two... More

We had a wonderful stay in Bar Harbor for three nights mid-week in October. The cottage was charming with four bedrooms, all with their own private baths. We were traveling with my sister & her husband so we had two different rooms in the house. The beds were comfortable, the rooms clean & home well cared for. High end products... More

Really nice room, clean and well appointed. Nice location near town tho we were out and on our way. I did see a dog but gave it... More

I would stay here again in a heart-beat. Martha and Tim are on the premises (which I understand from some others that stayed at the cottage is not always the case). It is a great location - much better than staying out of town in a resort. Street was quiet, breakfasts were lovely, and it has a very inviting atmospere.... More

My wife and I stayed at Canterbury Cottage for a weekend. Breakfast was good, relaxing atmosphere, and quiet. Owners were friendly and the dogs were cool. My only complaint is the room and shower was on the small side, but thats really no big deal.

There are a lot of great things about this INN. First off, it's on a very quiet street, within a few blocks from the busy town of Bar harbor. Wish the street was better lit at night,but everyone was always seen out and walking. The INN is quiet. VERY clean & relaxing. INN keepers are hospitable and personable. The dogs... More

Our fault for not knowing they allow pets. There were 4 dogs at the breakfast table! Inn is convenient to downtown and bed was comfortable. Bathroom and shower were very small. Only recommended if you are bringing a dog.
