Let me start by saying that the staff was friendly and helpful. The place "shortcoming" was more due to our expectation. We wanted a quiet, relaxing setting and missed the fact that it is located on a very busy and noisy highway. Rooms are dated but clean. Breakfast ... welll, better skip it altogether. If you must then expect: 1....

This Bed & Breakfast is located about 5 miles from the city of Bar Harbor. It is a great affordable place to stay. Each has its own private bath. I used this location only to sleep & was out otherwise on the island. The bus does not service this area so you will need your own transportation.

Stayed with a great friend in the main house. It was a last minute stay and we were lucky they had space - next time would love to try one of the outer buildings. But the main house was quiet, and nicely furnished - very country farmhouse. We had sweet potato waffles for breakfast which were wonderful! Wish we could...

Rooms were dated, breakfast was frozen, limited and not filling. The breakfast room is tiny. My closet is bigger than their breakfast room. If you ask for second helping or any extra item, you will get no response or they will say 'let me see' but won't return for next 15 mins. The staff was rude and didn't make you...

To whom it may concern:
I am very saddened to hear that some of our recent guests were so unhappy with their stay. My father, George Clemens, was our owner and operator until his sudden passing this past winter. My fiance and I both have our own careers but are doing our very best to keep the family business running....

I stayed there with a group of friends on a trip to visit the house of the world-known writer Marguerite Yourcenar. The service was courteous and good, quite good actually because the daughter of the recently deceased owner took over. The young lady was nice enough that it compensated for her lack of experience. The breakfast was good. We fell...

On the positive side, the setting is peaceful and attractive: lots of open space, a pond filled with frogs, a rope swing off an old tree. I thought our room (in the Pond House) was spacious and furnished with attention to detail, including seaside themed decor, a four-poster bed and it even had a jacuzzi. Unlike some reviewers I found...

We (me, husband and 1 yr old daughter) stayed at the Collier House for one night last weekend along with another couple. We had booked the Creek Retreat suite for ourselves and our friends booked the couples room. The Creek Retreat suite itself was nice and clean, but not worth the $169 that we paid for it.
But, we were...

The Collier House is a great choice if you are looking for something outside the busy downtown Bar Harbor area. When we arrived the inn keeper was friendly and informed us where our room was, where to park, and when breakfast was. We had the room closest to the main house, it was decorated cute, had a jacuzzi, a large...

We are a couple travelling around the North East coast of New England, and we have been researching places to stay the day before we get there.On this occasion we just left it to chance.....which in hindsight was a mistake.
We turned up at 6.30pm after a very long drive from Boothbay Harbor and on inspection we were shown two...

The Collier House Inn is entering its 25th season of continuous operation. The Inn offers single and family-size accommodations, including private suites with jacuzzi tubs, sitting areas and lofts with skylights and...
