Set in Bar Harbor, within 700 metres of Town Beach and 700 metres of Agamont Park, Canterbury Suites B&B offers accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is situated 2.8 km from Frenchman Bay, 500 metres from West Street Historic District and 1.6 km from Great Meadow Walk. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar. We thought of this booking more like an Airbnb, rent a room style. We are not really familar with the Bed & Breakfast concept shown here. But it was a very pleasant surprise. The owner live in the building and renting out two nice rooms in the main Building and one room in a little house in the backyard. They where very nice people with great advices for our trip in Bar Harbor and the two dogs where an added bonus. - Everything is very new and nicely furnished and decorated. - Breakfast is homecooked every morning and was exceptional! - Awesome place to also meet other guests and exchange about the vacation planing

Located in central Bar Harbor, this hotel is 6.4 km from Sand Beach and 2.2 km from Acadia National Park. The hotel serves a complimentary deluxe breakfast each morning.

Offering personal service, the hotel is a short walk to the waterfront, 10.1 km to Cadillac Mountain and just 2 km to the Kebo Valley Golf Course. it was great value and the staff was phenomenal. The breakfast good with different choices to have. It was great to sit in the rockers out front of the hotel drinking tea. I highly recommend this property to stay at. The bonus was having a laundry facility that has courtesy detergent and Snuggles
