No complaints at all.

Beautiful Historic Home, welcoming and charming
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at Bass Cottage in Bar Harbor! The property is a beautiful, historic, well-maintained home full of charm, character, and warmth. Everything was clean, cozy, and welcoming, making it feel like a home away from home. The staff was wonderful, friendly, and attentive, and the complimentary breakfast was absolutely amazing!

However, we felt the price was quite high for the accommodations and amenities offered. Keep in mind that this is a historic home with no elevators. Our room was on the top floor, in the attic, which required climbing several flights of stairs.

While we loved the charm, hospitality, and delicious breakfast, we felt the overall value did not quite justify the price. A lovely place to stay, but a bit overpriced for what is offered.

Cons:

Price

An unforgettable stay with exceptional hospitality.
Pros:

Our stay in Bar Harbor was absolutely wonderful. Besides visiting Acadia National Park and enjoying this spectacular town surrounded by the beauty of the sea and mountains, we had the pleasure of staying at Bass Cottage & Ullikana Inn.

These charming late-19th-century homes have a unique atmosphere that makes you feel as though you have stepped back in time. Every detail adds to the special character and warmth of the experience.

What truly made our stay unforgettable, however, was the staff. Susie and the entire team welcomed us with genuine warmth, kindness, and personalized attention. In my case, it is something I will always remember. Their hospitality made us feel truly special from the moment we arrived.

The breakfast was also excellent and was the perfect way to start each day.

I wholeheartedly recommend Bass Cottage & Ullikana Inn to anyone traveling to Bar Harbor. It is a beautiful and memorable place to stay, and I am sure you will not regret choosing it.

Thank you, Susie, for all the kindness, care, and attention you gave us. You helped make our visit to Bar Harbor an experience we will never forget.

Location was excellent! Facilities were lovely!!
Pros:

Location, location, location!
The beds were so comfortable!
The inn was lovely. The staff was very accommodating!

Cons:

Our room (dandelion) was very small. The shower was not great (no water pressure, and it kept flooding behind the shower area) For a bed and breakfast of your caliper, the breakfast was very disappointing. We actually skipped a day, to find a better meal.

Pros:

I never leave reviews but I have to for this one. This old victorian house (Ullikana) was absolutely amazing!!! I travel a lot and besides my own bed this was the best bed I've ever slept in!!! I absolutely loved everything about this place. The terrace was an amazing view of the ocean and it felt like it was in a quite little place all it's own but just walking distance away from the busy shops and restaurants. The best was absolutely the best I've ever had anywhere ever!!! Thank you Susie for being a great hostess!!! I will definitely book here again.

Cons:

That I didn't have enough time to spend here.
