The location of the property is perfect! Just one block from the main strip so you are extremely close to all the food and shopping. The house is beautiful and the main areas are well furnished. The property is very clean. I ate way too many of the cookies which are left out daily- so delicious! My room was on the third floor (attic level). I loved having the space of a suite. My only issue was with the bathroom. Because the room is built in the roof line, the ceilings are low in the bathroom. The shower was very tight with a rain shower head that was too low for my fiancée who is 6’3. I’m 5’9 and just barely fit underneath.

Location and parking are great. The morning conversations with owner/ staff were wonderful and informative around a royal dining table, with a healthy scruptious home made breakfast. Bed and linens were royal indeed. The 5 to 6 pm wine cheese n crackers were a nice surprise. Loved to feel pampered.

We found this inn almost by accident. We were delighted! The staff were amazing and the innkeeper was very informative and responsive to all of our questions. The room was very comfortable, large, and homey. Breakfast each day was superb! When we come back to Bar Harbor, we will definitely stay at The Stratford.

We had a wonderful time at The Stratford! The breakfast was delicious, and they offered a few options. The location is perfect - within walking distance to almost everything. The building is gorgeous, and the staff were super helpful. We loved hearing about the history of the building from Anne. We would definitely stay again.

We recently stayed for a long weekend anniversary trip at the Stratford and it elevated our vacation in wonderful ways! The house and accommodations are beautiful and very close to everything in downtown. We could easily walk to everything in Bar Harbor. But the thing that made the accommodations really special was the owner and staff! She made us the most incredible breakfast each morning, set out fresh baked cookies during the day, and had a wine and cheese snack in the evenings. We made time to sit, enjoy, and have conversations. The Stratford exemplifies perfectly the way life ought to be! We would definitely return!

We had a delightful time staying at Stratford with Anne. The property was spacious and well maintained, and Anne provided impeccable service with fresh cookies, wine & cheese, and incredible breakfasts. The location was great, as we could walk to anywhere in Bar Harbor and easily hop in the car to head to the park. We absolutely loved our stay!

This is an older home but very quaint and clean. The bathroom was very small but the room was spaceous and the bed was very comfortable. The cleaning staff was very help and friendly. I can not say enough great things about Ann and her hospitality!! The breakfasts were delicious! She also had some great restaurant and activity recommendations. She even shared some books and maps of the area. It was great getting to know other people staying there and hearing about what they did or were going to do in the area. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat! Everything was an easy walking distance and we had our own designated parking place.

Anne was so nice, we felt like honored guests in her home. Breakfasts were delicious and the room was quiet and comfortable. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Only a short drive to Acadia national park. What was totally unexpected was an opportunity over breakfast to meet the other guests and learn from their daily experiences and gain new recommendations. Highly recommend!
