On our last night in Bar Harbor, we decided to veer off the beaten track to find our location for dinner. Walking down Cottage Street, we found a small sign that alerted us to a possibility to consider. We found the Black Friar and had the most amazing culinery experience of our visit.

Friar Tom is a really nice, laid back kind of guy. He obviously works hard. He cooks a delicious breakfast that each of us enjoyed. The quality of the food was just what we were looking for. Chef Don prepared dinner for us one night. My husband said he made the best scallops he's had out. My steak was tender,... More

Five of us were on a motorcycle tour and found this great inn that allowed us to stay for two nights on a 3 night holiday weekend. No other area inn was as accommodating.

Great rooms in a quiet location just a few blocks from Main St. and the Bar Harbor waterfront. Friendly staff gave "spot on" recommendations for our visit.

All the staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms 1 & 4 are very nice and with the bonus balcony and coppola it is truly unique. It's nice that it's slightly off the beaten path. Wendy's blueberry martini was delish and Chef Don has a good menu with awesome food from asian chicken wings to risotto with scallops.

My wife and I stayed for 5 nights in 2 different rooms and we couldn't have had a better time. The rooms are clean and spacious with en-suite bathrooms, comfortable queen size beds, AC, free wifi, fresh linens, etc. The room was cleaned by 130 each day. The staff are very nice and very accommodating There is a nice sitting... More

Cute, clean and friendly inn. Within walking distance to everything in downtown Bar Harbor. The included breakfast every morning was wonderful. We ate dinner @ the pub one night and it was one of our favorites! We loved room# 4....comfy bed and our daughter loved the spiral staircase leading up to the sitting room! Stay here.. You'll love it!

Excellent location away from the noise but close enough o walk. We loved the rooms ans stayed in two completely ones. Great staff and loved the amazing breakfast. Excellent coffee. We will be back. Very very cool.
