“Wonderful Bed and Breakfast”
+Just spent three nights at Holbrook House. Eric and Mitchell are wonderful and made us feel like family. The rooms were cozy and immaculate. If you are traveling to Bar Harbor you must stay here.

“Wonderful!”
+Our stay at Holbrook House was wonderful! We stayed 3 nights, it was very clean and comfortable and the innkeepers, Eric & Michelle, were very welcoming. . The full breakfast and baked goods were delicious. It was an easy walk to town too! We would definitely stay here again.

“Holbrook House - A HORRIBLE place”
+STAY AWAY from this B&B. We booked a room for two nights but left after the first night. There are several reasons for this. 1. I requested a first floor room because I'm handicapped and struggle on stairs. When we got there we were given a second floor room and the owner pleaded ignorance. Yet I specifically communicated and requested the first floor room. 2. The room we got was a joke. a. no closet, no safe, a joke of a desk, minimal space. No place to hang anything. b. bathroom had a tub, which for an orthopedically handicapped person is a real problem. For this reason I couldn't bathe. c. The bed was torturously uncomfortable. After one sleepless night my wife and I would have confessed to any crime if pushed, it was that uncomfortable. The mattress was lumpy, the bed wasn't level (foot of the bed was considerably higher than the head), and the pillows smelled like they hadn't been laundered. d. the carpets were wrinkling because of poor installation, the wallpaper was peeling, the decor of the room was in a style my wife described as "nothing matches". Basically yard stale antique. e. using Motel 8 soaps works if you're not paying $380 a night. But it didn't work for us. f. It

“Terrible Room”
+Terrible room! I reserved the Frenchman Bay room based on the photos on the website only to find that the bathroom (2piece) was basically in a closet with the sink being outside next to the door! It was difficult to see this by looking at the photos. Given that the inn was fully booked as was the entire town of Bar Harbor, I had no choice but to endure the less than ideal accommodations. I would not recommend reserving this room. Other than the room the inn was ok- breakfasts were good and it was in a good location several blocks from the downtown.

“Beautiful B&B. Excellent stay. Nice location”
+First time staying here and in Bar Harbor and we were very happy with our choice. Location - Very good. Maybe a 10 minute walk to downtown, so convenient to the shops, restaurant, and waterfront, but far enough away to be quiet. Off street parking and never had a problem getting a spot. Exterior - Very pretty and beautiful gardens. Front porch seating and some garden seating. Common areas were very nice, with an enclosed sunroom for breakfast. Room - We had the Cadillac room which is a spacious room for two on the top floor. We loved it and it worked perfectly for us. Please read my notes regarding whether it will work for you. It had a really nice sofa to watch TV, plus a separate seating area for two. Mini-fridge and microwave included. Two large closets. The bed was fine with good pillows and generally we slept well. Some road noise in the morning, but very minor. Some noise from neighbors as well as is is an vintage home, but to be expected and not a problem for us. With the room AC running, you get a nice white noise background. AC worked well. The windows also open if you want fresh air. Bathroom was well appointed. The room was cleaned well every day.

+Eric and his team were wonderful. We feel so lucky that they had a last minute room available for a few days. A delightful and special place to stay. Breakfast and snacks were delicious and plentiful. Bed was comfortable and the shower was HEAVEN. This B&B is just a couple of blocks from the main street of Bar Harbor. We only used our car to drive to Acadia, minutes away from Holbrook House. There is even a park shuttle close, if you don't want to take your car into the park. We cannot wait to go back!!! Highly recommend!!

+Nice location and excellent breakfast. Rooms don't look like photo on website. Room was small and Victorian feel and bed not comfortable. Fortunately we didn't spend time in room. Breakfast was the highlight prepared by a former chef. Just wish coffee was stronger/better prepared but they did have a Keurig machine as alternative.
