Situated in Bar Harbor, 300 metres from Town Beach, Bass Cottage & Ullikana features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace. Popular points of interest nearby include Grant Park, Newlin Gardens and Great Meadow Walk. The property is non-smoking and is located 300 metres from Agamont Park. Lucky to find this one on arrival in Bar Harbor in peak leaf peeping season. If you like history, this place is for you. Two town houses beautifully converted into bed and breakfast accommodation with historic furniture and hiding away just behind the main street. Staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful, especially Marina (all the way from Serbia) and Walker. Breakfasts are cooked to order - very nice and original but not contemporary US breakfasts. Forget the brick, glass and concrete hotels and come and stay here. Highly recommended.

Set in Bar Harbor, within 700 metres of Town Beach and 700 metres of Agamont Park, Canterbury Suites B&B offers accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is situated 2.8 km from Frenchman Bay, 500 metres from West Street Historic District and 1.6 km from Great Meadow Walk. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar. We thought of this booking more like an Airbnb, rent a room style. We are not really familar with the Bed & Breakfast concept shown here. But it was a very pleasant surprise. The owner live in the building and renting out two nice rooms in the main Building and one room in a little house in the backyard. They where very nice people with great advices for our trip in Bar Harbor and the two dogs where an added bonus. - Everything is very new and nicely furnished and decorated. - Breakfast is homecooked every morning and was exceptional! - Awesome place to also meet other guests and exchange about the vacation planing
