Thornhedge

Owner gave great hiking and biking ideas. Delicious breakfast - slightly repetitive. No curtains in the bedroom or bathroom.

Great location. Loved our room. Within walking distance to everything in downtown Bar Harbor. We appreciated Andrew's help in choosing what to see and where to eat while visiting. One day, we hope to stay at Thornhedge again. I definitely recommend.

This being our first B&B experience we don't have a lot to compare. We loved the house, the location was great and it was very comfortable. Andrew, the owner, was great to work with, very friendly and available at all times. Breakfast was great and the afternoon wine & cheese social hour was the greatest. Would be happy to return and stay there again sometime.

Special thanks to Andrew, a wonderfull host. The Inn is like a little museum and the room was very comfortable. Exchange with the other guests, either at breakfast or at the daily "wine and cheese" was very pleasant.

The room was large and comfortable. The owner was friendly and informative. The breakfast was adequate. I would stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Thornhedge. It is ideally located and the Inn is delightful. Our host was most helpful in every way.

This was our first visit to Bar Harbor and Thornhedge Inn provided a nice location away from cruise ships and busy shopping yet within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants. The owner and host was gracious, greeting us as we arrived and ensuring our room was comfortable for us. Wifi connection was smooth. Full continental breakfast was highlighted with sweet breads and muffins baked by the owner. All in all, a delightful stay in a nice accommodation.

Great stay at Thornhedge, very convenient to walking downtown, great size rooms. Breakfast was the only thing lacking, just standard bagels, toast, muffins etc.

The Inn is centrally located but quiet and decorated beautifully. The innkeeper Andrew was very helpful and friendly. We stay at Bed and breakfast's everytime we travel so speaking from experience, this place is surely not to be passed up! We will be back again and again.

really a nice place to stay, and only few minutes by walk to downtown

The Thornhedge Inn is beautiful inside and out, which when combined with its prime location and gracious host (thank you Andrew), really makes it one of the best places to stay when touring Maine's coast, Acadia National Park and the town of Bar Harbor!

Our stay at Thornhedge was delightful! The location was excellent for walking around Bar Harbor. Breakfast was very nice with delicious fresh baked breads and muffins. It was also a great time to visit with the other guests. Andrew was full of good information for sightseeing, restaurants and history of the area.

My husband and I stayed at Thonhedge for 1 week and had a great experience. Having never stayed at a B&B we found the atmosphere pleasant and inviting. Our host, Andrew, was very accommodating and very knowledgeable about the area attractions and great dining locations. The rooms were clean but dated for those looking for more modern surroundings - I thought it added to the charm, however. Being a modest person, I felt that our bathroom could have used blinds on the windows. Our room was on the 3rd floor and is the only room at the inn without an attached bathroom. It didn't bother us to go down the hall to the bathroom however, because of the discounted price and the fact it was private. Breakfasts were good - homemade muffins, juice, coffee, fruit, cereal, yogurt. Also, the wine and cheese gatherings in the afternoon allowed us to meet other guests. I would recommend Thornhedge to friends and family. We'll definitely be back for another stay.

Pleasant Our stay at the Inn was pleasant. The breakfast was a disappointment. The breakfast was "continental" at best.

Everything was perfect, as expected. We had a great Time and Will certainley be back. Place was beatiful, the service was great , breakfast very. Thank you, and see you probably next year.

The host and staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. The inn is very clean and well-kept. The inn is in a great location, just two blocks from the main businesses and island shuttle stop. A great value. This is definitely a place we will stay on future visits. The only negative comment we have is that the bathrooms could be updated. But, that did not detract from our pleasant stay there.

the bathroom needs to be updated-more light and bigger mirror, better shower head.

Excellent location near the center of town. Room was very comfortable and as shown in the web photo. Andrew is a most congenial host.

This was our first stay in Thornhedge, beautiful home, well kept. Excellent host,great breakfast & wine with cheese near dinner time. Will stay again in the future.

This beautiful old house is at just the perfect location in Bar Harbor. Easy to get to by car. Great for walking to many restaurants and the town. Close to Acadia National park. The house has all the charm of an antique and is clean and comfortable. Breakfast is plentiful if uninspired. Coffee, Tea, juice, quick breads and muffins. Cold cereals, toast or bagels.Yogurt and fresh fruits. The owner is very friendly and amiable. We would be glad to stay there again.

Andrew is a very knowledgeable and friendly innkeeper, and he runs a lovely inn in a wonderful location! The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and the rest of the house is just beautiful. The breakfast is continental only but we're not big breakfast people anyway!

The Inn is an an elaborately furnished old mansion. Andrew is a very gracious and helpful host. Don't miss the afternoon wine and cheese break. It is now our favorite B&B. John & Donna

Great location. Leave your car at Thornhedge and walk to the shops and restaurants in downtown Bar Harbor. Andrew was very helpful with restaurant suggestions.

B&B location was ideally situated...the home was well kept,clean and tastefully decorated...the bedroom was very nice and the bath was spacious. All and all it was really such a pleasant time there....I'm sure we will probably return....

Property is in an ideal location; within comfortable walking distance to Main Street, shops, restaurants. Wine & cheese are offered in late afternoon; has buffet breakfast but no hot items like eggs, pancakes, etc. so if you are anticipating a hearty hot breakfast just be advised that is not offered. Rooms are cleaned property but carpets are stained, there are water leaks in some ceilings; the property in general needs quite a bit of simple maintenance such as windows cleaned; yard work, etc. which would tidy things up a bit.

My friend and I had a wonderful experience at Thornhedge and would gladly return some day. The room was large and well appointed and the bathroom was huge. The inn itself was filled with beautiful antiques and tastefully decorated throughout. The home made muffins and breads were very tasty and we enjoyed wine and cheese in the afternoon with other guests. But, the best part of the inn was the innkeeper, Andrew. He grew up in the area and couldn't have been more knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. He made reservations, advised us on hiking and biking trails, and was just a really nice guy. He was the quintessential host.

Lovely home with Victorian atmosphere. Pleasant host. Clean and spacious room. Great location for walking in town. Breakfast was good, but would have liked more variety and substance. All in all a good experience and would definitely go back again.

Nice room, breakfast did not exceed my expectation.

The most beautiful inn, wonderful personalized service, clean rooms -- just a wonderful place to stay.

Third floor room was small and my hairdryer blew a fuse, but the place is truly fantastic, especially if you love to be surrounded by antiques. Andrew, the innkeeper, is a very interesting fellow & spent a lot of time with the guests, which was unexpected but very nice. All the breakfast breads are made on premises.

A very personable B&B; excellent service; available all the time; wonderful cheese and wine at the end of the day when you want to unwind and share experiences. Excellent location - 2 blocks from downtown. On a main road, so occasionally noisy with cars at night.

Thornhedge is terrific, lots of interesting people to talk to at breakfast, great to offer wine and cheese at 5 PM. Definitely a step back in time... decorations include button collections. Great muffins and sweetbreads at breakfast, assorted cereals... I had come to expect amazing fritattas...

The house is very nice and welcoming. It lacked a little variety at breakfast (muffins, cereals and fruit only). By cons, the berry muffins were delicious. The innkeeper is present to respond to our requests A good place.

Our stay at Thornhedge was absolutely delightful. The rooms were beautiful and very clean. Andrew is a very personable innkeeper and made our stay very pleasant. I highly recommend it for anyone trying to decide where to stay!

Thornhedge is beautiful outside and inside. We loved the common rooms as well as the bedrooms and many antique accessories throughout the house. Our host, Andy, was friendly, available and helpful. Wine & cheese in the afternoon provided the opportunity for lively gatherings. On our next trip to Bar Harbor we'll definitely plan to stay at Thornhedge.
