Castlemaine Inn is a nice historic B&B on a quite street with free off street parking.  The Inn is a short walk from downtown Bar Harbor, Close to restaurants and the entrance to Acadia.  Good breakfast served each morning with 2 choices.  The Innkeeper was very helpful with suggestions and directions.  We stayed in the “Romance Room” at the back of the Inn.  Very quiet, king bed, couch and remodeled bathroom, plenty of space.  Would definitely stay here again!

Castlemaine Inn is a great place to stay

After the price we paid, I felt I had to lower the rating of this place. A 4.5 (at the time of this write up) is rating that a fine hotel and a GREAT B&B is deserving of receiving. This place is a 2.5-3, at best. We booked a last minute trip to Bar Harbor and this was one of the few places that had availability for our dates, so it was what it was, shame on us for lack of advanced planning. Their website listed the Victoria room rate for $337/night after taxes, we found it for $261 on Travelocity (yippee!). I get it, it’s peak season, a tourist town, the year after the pandemic, so you’re going to get gouged. But let’s just say you’d be happier at one of the two motels around the corner - more spacious, more modern. About the only thing the castle Maine had going for it was that it was very clean (kudos to the staff) and the staff were pleasant. Our room was cramped — a queen poster bed in a space too small for it, the bed was old and super squeaky to boot, awful pillows, a tiny bathroom with a toilet that leaned to one side and a sink/vanity suitable for a toddler. The Decor in the room and throughout was one that would make my great grandma feel proud, including the same vintage bed linens that she would’ve used. The breakfasts were decent but at the same time…lackluster. When I think B&B, I think bfasts that I couldn’t make myself, this was simply going through the motions. But they were good, and included with the rate so can’t complain too much. 

Look, this is place was fine for what it was - a clean space to lay my head. Would I have rather paid the same or slightly less at Motel around the corner? Yes - their rooms appear to have been updated in the last 50yrs and may be more spacious. I can guarantee their beds wouldn’t wake someone up with a loud squeak every time A person shifted. Despite the negativity I am not looking for a Ritz Carlton here, but when you pay similar prices, you should expect a certain level. The Holland Inn nextdoor delivers (stayed there a few years ago on a trip planned in advance), this place doesn’t.

Okay….but there’s better

This is a historic cottage, which is a 16 or so room B&B with a wonderful attitude. This is one of those places in the world where the staff makes the stay. We had a very nice suite. An older building has some irregularities, but quaint at times is just fine. In the morning the breakfast has two choices which were both good. It is located near the center of town (5 - 6 block walk) so we never had to drive to a restaurant. A large grocery store was a block away. The manager was very helpful with suggestions. Parking was on site.

Great location,great place

We arrived on the first week the Inn opened for the season. Unfortunately, my wife had an allergic reaction to the disinfectant used to clean the facility and we were unable to stay. The host was gracious and waved the deposit understanding that we loved so many things about their inn.
Like the wrap around porch, the antique furnishings, and quiet just on the edge of town location.
Wish we could've stay :(

Unable to Stay But Wish We Could Have

I stay here every time I go to Bar Harbor. It’s perfectly located to be slightly tucked away yet an easy walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants and the ocean. But what I love most is this quintessential Victorian style bed and breakfast and it’s ambiance. The folks at the front desk are always gracious and helpful and the rooms make you feel like you’ve gone back in time to a place in history where things were different (better). Sometimes when I read a description like this I think “old” or “run down”. This lovely inn is historic but in all the right ways. Can’t wait to come back. 

Quintessential 

Wonderful stay for three nights. Bed was small for two but very comfortable. We stayed in room 12 upstairs which had a fireplace and balcony. It was too cold to use balcony and fireplace required wood! We didn’t ask if there was some available but odd that they would allow a real fire in an old wooden house. Room was small but worked for us. Breakfasts were delicious! You had a choice of a sweet or savory meal which was packed to go. Wish juice was also an option. We ate on the very comfortable porch each morning. Would have liked some glass glasses in room. No snacks or water provided. No coffee in room but available at 6 each morning. Appreciated having milk to put in coffee and not just creamers. We went biking everyday on the carriage roads. The location was perfect as you only had to ride 1.5 miles on roads with cars! We were provided with a shed with a bike rack where we could lock the bikes each night. Location also perfect for evening dining as so many restaurants within a mile! Owner was very helpful and pleasant. We will definitely choose Castlemaine Inn for our next visit! 

Great location 

I was very excited to spend time in the Honeymoon Suite but was left disappointed.  There were no wine glasses ( or even plastic ones during COVID), no coffee maker, no coffee or tea available in the lounge area and no snacks.  The bed was comfortable but the couch was old and uncomfortable.  Also, about 1/3 of the lights had no functioning light bulbs ( especially in the bathroom) plus the toilet ran constantly for the 2 days we were there.  I understand that because of COVID they don't go in the room but I would have welcomed them to come in and fix a toilet so I didn't have to listen to it all night long.  The breakfast was good but there was no juice offered.  We stayed at B&B's for 2 weeks and this was the most expensive one we stayed in and the one we were the most disappointed in.  When we checked in, the lady was very pleasant but gave us very little instruction on how things worked in the room.  We were told to take a picture of the wifi password and the contact information.  Every other place we stayed, either sent an email to us with those instructions or had them laminated in the room.  I would not spend the extra money for the Honeymoon Suite.  The only real benefit is the private entrance and little patio area if the weather is good.

Nice but nothing special

Castlemaine Inn is a wonderful Inn that’s close to downtown and close to Acadia National Park. The owners and innkeepers are very kind and hospitable! Breakfast in the morning is two options, sweet or savory. We opted for sweet every day and it was a wonderful blend of pancakes and waffles made fresh to our order. We stayed in room 16 and very much enjoyed the extra space in the small living room attached to the bedroom. Castlemaine Inn has all you need for a cozy stay in Acadia!

Perfect proximity to town, cozy stay

I used Hotels.com to made reservations at this property for May 2020.  unfortunately my plans changed and I had to cancel my reservation, which I did in January 2020 -  well within the hotel cancellation policy.  After a week of waiting for my credit card to be refunded, Hotels.com tried to call the property and were unable to get through.  I called the hotel to discuss and left a  voicemail message explaining that I had to cancel and asked that my deposit be refunded.  I requested a call back to confirm.  No call back.  After several days,  I tried several other times but no one ever answered the phone.

I was forced to contact my credit card company and file a dispute in order to get the deposit refunded.  

Obviously I can't review the experience of my stay at this hotel but I can review my experience with cancelling my reservation and trying to get my deposit back.  And based on that experience alone, I would not recommend this property.  

Be Wary

Location was great - easy walk to town and bar island etc.  Our room was beautiful and the staff were all very nice and helpful.  We were two adult couples traveling and would highly recommend staying at Castlemaine Inn.
