I had to go to Bar Harbor during the "off" season for business. I was very pleased with this inn. Martha's hospitality was wonderful, the rooms were beautifully decorated. My bathroom was small but the price was right. She was very accomodating with our breakfast and it really was wonderful. The inn is conveniently located near the center of town, the dogs are very cute and friendly and the bed was very comfy. The only drawback was the small bathroom but I am sure it was probably just my room.

This B&B was a very nice, comfortable place to stay. The rooms were kept clean, and the amenities, such helped make the stay very comfortable. The breakfasts were different each day and were very good. The presentations of the food were quite attractive.

A nice, cozy B&B off the beaten path, but within easy walking distance to everything in town. Martha and Rob are very friendly and helpful, and provide plenty of guidebooks, pamphlets, menus, and advice on anything you might want to do. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and they offer a nice variety of "different" entrees. Our only critiques were that parking was pretty tight, and the bathroom products were too feminine for unisex use, but those are small marks against a great place.

This is a great place to stay, and we recommend it to all. We stayed in the Cottage Room and it was very cosy. Martha surprised us with a bottle of bubbly when we informed her that we were on our honeymoon. The personal attention and local information on where to travel and local eateries were spot on. The breafast menue changed everyday, a culinary delight awaited us each morning. Rob is also very informative of the area and was able to give us the in's and out's of what to do. Thank you again for a wonderful stay. The Perry's, Sydney, Australia

We had a wonderful experience at Canterbury Cottage in Bar Harbor. The accomodations were excellent--The bed was comfortable and how do you get your towels so soft? Very quiet and close to everything! Martha and Rob are so pleasant and relaxed. We would go back in a heartbeat!

The house and room were wonderfully decorated and the location was very convenient for downtown. Martha and Rob were very helpful regarding places to eat and thing to do in Acadia. They had plenty of books on the park and menus of local places to eat. The food was wonderful and it was really nice to have water/coffee/tea/hot chocolate available at any time. We stayed at another bed and breakfast in Millinocket following this one and really missed the fact that they didnt have any drinks available. We stayed in the Garden Room. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and there was also a great supply of name brand shampoo, soaps and lotions. Not like the stuff you usually get at a hotel. My only complaint was that the bathroom and shower were very small and the water pressure was not great. Overall a very nice place to stay.

We spent a wonderful second honeymoon in Bar Harbor. We loved every minute of it, in particular our time at Canterbury Cottage. The Sun Island room was just perfect, beautifully decorated without giving you the feeling of being trapped in a museum. Martha and Rob were both exactly what you might look for in an innkeeper: accessible and always ready to answer any question, but never overbearing. Their flexibility in dealing with our unexpectedly late check-in was GREATLY appreciated. Breakfasts were fabulous; the 3-course meal always struck a good balance between the gourmet and the simple/sensible/everyday. Canterbury's location was close to just about every place we wanted to go. All in all, it was an excellent, reasonably priced B&B that we highly recommend.

We recently stayed at in Bar Harbor and were very impressed with the B&B that Martha and Rob ran. It is very clean and super convenient to downtown Bar Harbor. We both really enjoyed the yummy sit down breakfast that Martha made. Definitely a great value when staying Bar Harbor. Chris and Kathy - Chicago, IL

What a wonderful 4-day stay in Bar Harbor! Our room was meticulously clean & comfortable. Martha's friendly hospitality and helpful travel tips made our stay even more memorable. Breakfast was truly gourmet with a different menu every day. We felt welcome the minute we walked through the door and we will definitely go back!

My friend and I stayed at Canterbury Cottage for a whole week as we explored Acadia National Park and Mt. Desert Island. The hosts, Martha and Rob, make you feel right at home, with delicious breakfasts containing local ingredients, friendly conversations and their four-legged doggy friends Melvin and Ellie Mae. The rooms are clean, the beds are extremely comfy and the linens cozy. I appreciated the generous supply of toiletries and the fresh towels and sheets whenever you like. You also can't beat the location, right around the corner from downtown Bar Harbor and beautiful buildings to explore. Martha and Rob have roots in the area so they have great recommendations about where to eat and what to do. I hope to go back again someday and when I do, I will make Canterbury Cottage my home base once again.

Canterbury Cottage was the perfect location with wonderful hospitality, great food and of course a very romantic room with balcony. My wife and I spent four nights for our honeymoon and are already planning to return all the way from California. Martha and Rob made our time perfect, even surprising us with a bottle of champagne chilled in our room. Breakfast every morning was outstanding and a great way to start the day. Everything was in walking distance from the inn, plus Martha and Rob provided us with tips on the best sights and eats. Located off the main streets, the inn was quite and peaceful, a real treat when enjoying the private balcony! I would recommend the Canterbury Cottage for any couple that wants a perfect Bar Harbor experience.

We planned a 5 day trip to the Acadia National Park and stayed at the Canterbury Cottage in Bar Habor, Maine, an excellent bed and breakfast. Martha and Rob, the owners, are very nice and have always good recommendations and information (e.g. restaurants, trips, tours….). We stayed in the Garden Room, very nice, quiet and clean and you always have water and some chocolate in the room (and an I-pod docking station). The breakfast is very good and gives you a good start for the day, Martha likes to combine sweet and salty things. In the afternoon/evening there are always some self-made cakes, cookies etc. and water and soda which is nice after coming back form a long walk. We can absolutely recommend this place and would come back any time.

My wife, her parents, and I stayed at the Canterbury Cottage for three nights during the first week of May. We could not have been happier! LOCATION: This B&B is wonderfully situated, on a quiet side street just minutes by foot from plenty of shops as well as places to eat and drink. A century young, the house is the epitome of inviting and cute. ROOMS: Our rooms were truly charming and very reasonably priced. It was wonderfully quiet there, too! We could've heard a pin drop at night - if we hadn't slept so soundly. :-) We do, however, have one gripe: our bathroom hadn't been cleaned prior to our arrival, and on one of the other days it wasn't cleaned as thoroughly as it should have been. BREAKFAST was perfect - a great array of different treats each morning. We also enjoyed the option of enjoying some cereal, bagels, and other goodies _in addition to_ the three-course breakfast. What's more, Martha encouraged us to pack free bottles of water and free granola bars for the day. OWNERS: Most importantly, Martha and Rob are fantastically hospitable and knowledgeable innkeepers. Time and again, they eagerly gave us top-notch advice and shared their insights, from places to eat to nice drives to must-experience places in Acadia National Park and elsewhere on the island. DOGS: Ellie May and Melvin are two of the greatest dogs I've encountered. Unless you're allergic to pets or - God forbid - hate dogs, you'll love their affection and energy. :-) When we make it back to Bar Harbor, we'll certainly stay at the Canterbury Cottage!

This was such a great little B&B! It was beautiful and the host (Rob - Martha was out of town was so warm and welcoming. We brought our dog and they were really, truly pet friendly. The food was excellent. I would HIGHLY recommend this cottage for a stay when traveling to Bar Harbor. We have stayed in another B&B in Bar Harbor and this was nicer, and much more friendly.

Perfect place to bed down in Bar Harbor. It is right down town, so it is an easy walk to restaurants for dinner or stores for shopping. We came to Bar Harbor to bicycle the carriage roads in Acadia Park and found we could bike directly to the Park from the B&B. We essentially left our van parked at the B&B the whole 4 days we were there. The B&B itself was greatly improved from the last time we stayed there (under previous owners), much more bright and cheery. The breakfasts each morning were gourmet, yet hearty enough to fuel our outdoor activities each day. We will definitely be returning next year.

Room was cozy and bed and pillows were great. Appreciated the attention to details ie. good bath products and chocolates in room. Food was good too. Only thing that gave me pause were the two rambunctious dogs. They were a little too in the way.

We really enjoyed our stay, and thought the price was incredible for the quality and location. We were in the Cottage Room, which was sunny and simple. The linens were high quality and the bed was comfortable. The location is a quiet residential street walking distance to everything in Bar Harbor, and about a 5 minute drive from Acadia National Park. The breakfasts were wonderful, and they accomodated vegetarian requests. They also offered beverages and baked goods in the afternoon, which were always very good. Martha and Rob were helpful and friendly, but not intrusive. This would make for a very nice getaway for a couple, or a good honeymoon spot. We will definitely be back.

Rob and Martha made us feel like visiting family at their charming downeast B & B. Our room was beautiful, immaculate and inviting (loved the luxury of Aveda products). Breakfasts were delicious ... couldn't wait to see what Martha was cooking up each morning. Location was perfect ... on a quiet street but walking distance to harbor and downtown. We loved the resident dogs, but Rob and Martha are the reason we would definitely stay at Canterbury Cottage again. They gave us great tips about local acitivities and restaurants. And we loved the stories they shared about their beautiful island community.

Very friendly and helpful owners. The location was very convenient to Island Explorer shuttles and within easy walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Room was very clean and nicely decorated. Provided nice, essential toiletries (not the cheapo hotel brands you often see) and hair dryer, as well as bottles of water in the room. Breakfast was a treat. The dogs were fun (and clean). We stayed at another Inn for part of the trip, and Canterbury Cottage was by far our favorite. We will definitely return if we make our way back to Bar Harbor.
