Beautiful and clean B&B conveniently located to downtown and the park. The only issue is the bathroom is a little small but expected in an older house. Would stay again!!

Beautiful B&B with Goirmet Brrakfast
Ann and Bob run a beautiful B&B. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The gourmet breakfast each morning is delicious and included. Then at 5pm, they have a wine and cheese offering. It was a fabulous experience and we look forward to going back to the Stratford.

Great time in Stratford
Stratford is a beautiful Bed&Breakfast. The location is fantastic. It’s quiet but very close, walkable distance to the town and restaurants!! Anne, the owner is such a nice person and SPOILS her guests. Afternoon wine and cheese, cookies all day and an incredible and sumptuous breakfast.
The room was beautiful and the whole house is very clean.
We would definitely go there again.

It’s a house that has seven rooms for guests usage. The hostess is very friendly, she provides breakfast for all the guests, like in a family home.
The drawbacks are bathroom is very small, and faucet water is easy to splash out; the sink vanity is small and not much room for the guests to lay out stuff.

Extremely accommodating, great location, and the best breakfasts. Ann was able to provide us with great advice for navigating Acadia National Park. Could not have found a more quaint stay for our time in Bar Harbor!

Probably wouldn’t stay again :(
This is a hard one for me to review. Overall we were disappointed. Mainly due to comfort level. The location was fantastic, breakfast very nice and staff was friendly. It definitely has an old spooky feel, which I don’t mind, but just be aware of what you are walking into. My main issues were that the attic suite we were in was very stuffy and warm. Windows only opened a little and the AC was switched over to hear so we had very little relief. No ceiling fans. Being in the attic made it tough, and uncomfortable. Second issue is the bathroom and shower, very tiny and shower stall was crazy small. Curtain wrapped all around you while showering and barely able to bend over or move. The last minor issue is that the only mirror ( small one) was in the bathroom. For a couple getting ready a second mirror would be a great addition. I don’t think I’d stay here again but with some improvements I think the location and history of the building would make it a great choice.

We had a great stay. The property has a lot of older charm. The hospitality was wonderful and we really enjoyed how conveniently it was located to the main downtown area. It also helped that we had a guest parking spot. The breakfast each morning was amazing. We would for sure stay here again if we are in the area!
