My wife and I along with our daughter and her husband stayed in the cottage nearest the water. Accomodations are simple but adequate, with a bedroom, a loft, a bathroom with shower, living room, dining area, and kitchen. Great view of the water just a few steps away. We didn't hear another soul the entire time there, and it served as a nice launching pad for day outings. We have not stayed in the hotel proper, so I can't compare the the accomodations there, but we couldn't have been happier with our stay. There was a small fireplace and a very capable wall heater with good temperature control. The kitchen is quite small but adequate for simple endeavors like breakfast.

The wonderful management at the Claremont creates a welcome environment that brings us back, year after year, to this charming historic spot. Rooms are romantic and very comfortable. Location and views are breathtaking. Love the croquet, of course!

The Claremont has been our East Coast vacation home for the last 17 years. It's a long flight AND a long drive from CA but even when we say it will be our last year, it never is. Many friends have joined us, and have also fallen in love with the charm, the history, the incredible location and the friendly helpful management. The main building is beautiful but we love the W cottages with their view of it, the lawn, and the Sound.

A long drive from Montreal, it was a relief to arrive here. Outstanding location. The bay view from our room and large balcony was a real pleasure. Impeccable room, well equipped. The restaurant, tough lead by a small team, was a great surprise. Although you can dine in Southwest harbour or Bar Harbor, we had all our meals there. All seafood dishes were outstanding. The wine list is very well priced. Acadia park is a short drive away. Really worth the price.
