The largest area was the bedroom/sitting area, which included a small table/sitting area, desk, and regular (not flat screen) TV. The bathroom/sink area was partitioned off, and was just... More

King bed was so comfortable, we didn't want to get up! Shower & toilet in separate room with sink, frige, and coffee maker in sink area... More

Stayed three nights. Lovely property very scenic ANC characterful. Stayed in Motel but Hotel looked superb. Puts you in walking distance of everything in Bar Harbor, but the street is just off the main 'drag' Would happily return.

Gorgeous home,extremely comfortable, fantastic location, welcoming, just a very special place. We would stay there every visit! I think Moseley Cottage had a happy past life and that lends to the aura of the place today.

I took my wife away for her 30th birthday and we couldn't of been happier with Moseley Cottage. It was quaint and quiet, the staff was beyond friendly and warm, and the surroundings where breathtaking. We look forward to getting back to Bar Harbor and booking our stay at Moseley Cottage! -Andy & Jess

The hosts were gracious, warm, and accommodating of requests especially of very late check in. House is inviting and parking is available. Site is walking distance to trails, restaurants, harbor, and town amenities. Close to Acadia NP entrance. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Breakfasts selection is plentiful some are made to guest's preferences. House is historically well-preserved. I thank the... More

The title says it all, I was in the motel part not the inn, so it turned out to be less idyllic than I had anticipated. The room was clean and tidy and did contain all I needed but it was a motel room. Also breakfast is not included in the motel rooms. The inn looked absolutely lovely and I... More

Because of its high ratings on Tripadvisor.com, we chose the Moseley Cottage Inn for a three-night stay at Bar Harbor. Fortunately, we reserved the "Bubbles Room" on the second floor of the main guest house. This room is huge, superbly furnished and decorated with many genuine antiques, has a wood burning fireplace (wood provided) and is very, very comfortable. I... More
