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 feel welcome to their b&b.

Do no recommend this b&b.

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 asleep listening to the frogs in the pond having their nightly conversation. The jacuzzi in my room was a plus. A suggestion: they could make their sign bigger so drivers see it easily. Now it's half hidden behind a tree.

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 the location to be a definite pro: Bar Harbor in the summer is a tourist hell full of typical seaside touristy tat, and I much prefered being a bit away from it. It's also close to South West and North East harbors (much nicer and less tacky than Bar Harbor) which have good dining options, and it has easy access to attractive hikes and bits of the island that aren't as crowded as the main part of the park.
The main negative for me was the quality of breakfast. Everything seemed to come out of a tin (even the fruit salad), and even things that were home-cooked (e.g. omelettte) just weren't very good. We stayed here four nights and only on one occasion was the breakfast an adequate standard. Since one of the reasons to choose B&B rather than hotel acommodation is to have a nice homecooked meal, this was a disappointment.

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 disappointed by the unfriendliness of the staff and the breakfast (think it was frozen and not fresh) next day. My daughter who loves to eat everything, just spit out the pancakes and was not willing to eat another bite. Eventually we asked the owner / server to warm up a little milk for our daughter (around 2 oz milk only for 30 seconds). The owner / server made a face and told us she will see if they can do it for us. I was made to feel as if this was extra work and we were being an unnecessary pain to them. The server bought us the warmed milk after 10 minutes, which we fed to the baby.

Later while checking out of the B&B, the staff charged us extra $20 bucks for the baby citing the reason that they had to warm milk for her.

Overall, I am very disappointed with the staff and service and will not be recommending this B&B to anyobe.
