Actually 3.5 stars. Positives: Great location within easy walking distance to restaurants in Southwest Harbor and Beals Lobster Pier, and far away from the over crowded tourist trap of Bar Harbor. Really an excellent place to stay for a visit to MDI. The room was tastefully decorated, the bed exceedingly comfortable and the open airy layout made this a very relaxing place to stay. The main house and wide porch where breakfast is served was also relaxing and inviting and a great place to sit and read and soak in the superb Maine summer weather. And lastly, the service - both the inn keeper ad their staff were excellent. They were welcoming and friendly offering help to any tourist trying to plan their day. And breakfast was served promptly ad with a smile. Negatives: Breakfast wasn't the best. Offered only from 8-9, it forced us to an early start each day. And while it was filling, it wasn't so great - Some was tasty, some not so much. As far as the room, the towels always seemed damp. May have been the humid air, but we could never seem to find a dry towel.

Great place to stay at. We stayed at a family suite and it was fantastic. I travelled with 2 little ones, 4.5 and 1 year old plus 3 grandparents. Without this place, the trip would've been a nightmare. The owner is here every morning serving breakfast and giving guidance to your visit. Clean room, quite location, excellent service, delicious breakfast, I'll come back for sure.

I kind of hate to give only 3 stars because this place has some really great things going for it, but a 3 it has to be. Positives: The staff was amazingly nice. It seemed to be run by a man who I surmised was the owner plus three Romanians (I think) who all seemed to be between 18-20. They were all super friendly. The common areas were very nice, cozy, and well-kept. The main living room had the usual assortment of books, games, and brochures about activities around town. The dining room was small, but I loved the fact that there were 2-person tables and we weren't forced to chitchat with strangers over breakfast. The location was right off the main street of SW Harbor and within walking distance to Beal's. Our bed was amazingly comfortable. Negatives: I choose the Downeaster Room which had a private entrance and was loft-style with the bedroom upstairs and the bathroom downstairs. The room was cute, though small, but my main problem was with the bathroom. The sink faucet had absolutely no pressure and it was a major task to brush my teeth or wash my face. It also took several minutes for the hot water to turn on (sink only, not shower). Our room was straightened every day, but we never received fresh towels (not a huge issue), but they were also never straightened on the towel rack. That sounds kind of petty, but I had to use hand towels to dry my hair since we only got 2 towels total and when I can back to the room at the end of the day they were still wadded up in the bedroom where I left them. And last, but not least...breakfast. Because they have several rooms, they have designated eating times. Half the rooms are at 8:00 and the other half at 8:30. It would have been nice to have a little more flexibility and not have to set my alarm clock on vacation in order to not miss breakfast. I was also expecting more of a choice or at least more selection in the "continental breakfast" offering. That consisted of cornflakes, granola, and fruit. I'm sure some people enjoyed the main breakfast, but I'm more of a simple gal and was really looking forward to blueberry pancakes or waffles or the like. Instead our breakfast for the three mornings we were there included baked eggs with a sauce, apple crepes, and 2-cheese omelets. I realize it's impossible to please everyone, but a choice of two different options would have been nice. Overall, I would still recommend this place. I think maybe our room wasn't as good as some of the others and maybe we were just there on bad breakfast days. It was still pretty nice.

I had a very positive experience staying here - the place was well laid out and the staff friendly. It's a short walk to the small town center, everything else is a drive. The breakfast time assignment concept is not so great, if you snooze you lose so to speak. A vacationer should not have rigid time constraints. I liked it and would recommend it for people who want a well run, quiet B&B that's away from the Bar Harbor bermuda shorts and camera crowd.

I didn't know much about Maine when I booked a room at this B&B, but it came highly recommended so I took a chance. I'm glad I did! First of all, when I called for information, one of the owners answered the phone and took time to tell me all about the Inn, Mount Desert Island and its main attraction Acadia National Park, and the other towns on the island. He was so nice I knew it would be good. The Inn itself is spectacular. A three story victorian with a big porch they use as part of the dining room. If you go, nab a seat out there because it has fantastic views of the working harbor just across the street. I can't believe there's still working fishing villages where you can watch the lobstermen come and go, and the only thing that gets in the way of your view is the stacks of lobster traps on the docks, but I swear that's what it was like. Actually the whole town of Southwest Harbor was great. Much smaller and quieter than the craziness of Bar Harbor, but still has some great markets and restaurants for casual but delicious dining. I'd say the whole place is pretty casual. Back to the inn.....I was struck by how luxurious and homey it was. Every room was freshly painted and immaculate. The furniture didn't look worn at all. It was perfect and you could tell the owners really pay attention to detail. I don't know if its an old hotel or an old victorian home converted into an inn, but there are quite a few guest rooms and lots of spaces for guests to mingle or enjoy quiet time. Everyone was really friendly when I was there and even though I was traveling on my own, every morning when I went to breakfast, other guests struck up conversations and I made new friends everyday. It was great. Speaking of breakfast.....it was scrumptous, with a great assortment of eggs, pancakes, muffins, fresh fruit, you name it. Really filling, which was important because I spent most days out in the park. You'll need a car or a boat to get to this inn from Bar Harbor or Bangor, but it is worth the drive and really you'll need a car or a bike to make the most of the island anyway. ...The Maine coast is a magical place. Its impossible not to be moved by its beauty and feel good here. I thought the Harbour Cottage Inn was the perfect place to have as my home base while I was there.

Two parts to this review and two grades, as well: 1) We loved our room. Comfortable in every way, an enjoyable place to sit and read, great sleeping with the ceiling fan and lovely sea breezes. Good coffee and tea always available. Late afternoon cookies, too. Lovely porch and lawn for afternoon relaxing. Couldn't have enjoyed this aspect more. This part would rate 5 stars if it weren't for... 2) The whole breakfast thing. I'll be generous and give it a 3. To begin, the assigned breakfast time would have been more acceptable if it had been discussed when we made our reservation. We were assigned 8am, completely ridiculous for people with crazy schedules/demanding work who have chosen this place to relax. Not loving the 8am chimes to summon us, either. We did go to breakfast one day out of the 4 we were were there. Did not love the meal either and did not go to breakfast again. Microwave brown and serve sausages? Really? Very commercial crepes with some kind of apple goo and a squiggle of whipped cream? B- orange juice. We have had far, far more enjoyable continental breakfasts with a much more generous feel in other places. I'd stay again, but wouldn't bother with breakfast at all...which seems a shame at their price, but I do love a great room.
