What guests think

Guests say Moseley Cottage Inn and The Town Motel is charming and well kept on a quiet side street near downtown Bar Harbor, offering clean rooms and a walkable base for shops, restaurants, the harbor, and Acadia.

Many appreciate spacious, comfortable rooms—especially in the historic inn—while the motel rooms are simpler and sometimes dated, with reports of hard or sagging beds, musty odors, upstairs noise, or window AC struggling in hot weather. Breakfast earns frequent praise for taste and convenient in-room delivery, but it’s included only for inn stays and is a paid add-on for motel guests, which some found confusing or pricey. Service is often friendly and helpful, though a few guests reported brusque check-in, limited communication or follow-up, and rigid cancellation policies. Overall, expect a central base with classic charm and differing room styles between the inn and motel.

Great location in Bar Harbor, walking distance to all the good stuff! Only couple of downsides: the AC unit in the room struggled mightily to keep the temperature below 79 degrees (granted, it was hot out), so most of the time it was pretty warm in the room. And there’s no elevator, which they mention in the listing, but climbing those stairs to the 3rd floor took some work. All in all, it was a great place in a great location. Really enjoyed it.

First time staying here but have been to Bar Harbor multiple times. I really liked it! It is a perfect location to downtown for walking to restaurants and shops but not right in the mix that it is loud. Good parking situation. I stayed in the motel side and it was a large room, plenty of storage and space. Cute little seating on the balcony and in their greenery area. Overall, really liked it and would stay again.

I absolutely loved my stay here. I stayed in the house and it was a great bed and breakfast experience! The staff were super nice and informative about the area also. Everything was very clean and very quite. The breakfast was very good and there were several things to choose from. This home is walkable to town and i did it several times each day. There was always a parking spot available also. I would like to let everyone know that if your staying in the house then breakfast is included with your stay but if your getting a room at their attachment motel then breakfast is not included. I believe you can purchase it in advance for a fee of $20/breakfast. I would check with the staff tho as i was booked inside the home and breakfast was already included. I highly recommend this place and i will be back. The owners were there and were very helpful.

The motel was right off the Main Street yet, so very quiet. The property was well kept ! Beautiful and so peaceful. We saw guests sitting in the front lawn seating areas and enjoying conversations. We saw a woman lounging on the beautiful sofa on the big porch reading a book as another man was relaxing a few seats down with a tea. The perfect dwelling for slowing down and smelling the sea air but being close enough to walk everywhere downtown ! We would absolutely book again.

I stayed at the Inn, and I honestly have never had such a beautiful experience! I've stayed in Bar Harbor before, and the price was similar to the average place. But they go far above and beyond here, far exceeding expectations! I had a beautiful, clean, large room decorated with antiques. I also had a beautiful private porch with a partial ocean view. The weather was terrible, but the porch has a roof so I enjoyed doing yoga in the evening, and hot coffee on the porch in the morning. The hot shower was great, the bed had plenty of pillows and I slept like a baby! They provide breakfast and even offer gluten-free pancakes! There is free coffee all day and homemade cookies. The staff is super nice, even the hallway and entrance are beautiful. It is super quiet and away from traffic. I will NEVER stay anywhere else in Bar Harbor again, just here!

The inn is attractive. The gardens are pretty and well kept. The man who checked us in did not bother with niceties such as Welcome! My husband and I are both in our mid 70s. He has a foot injury and is using a cane. I carried our bag upstairs. No offer of assistance was proffered. There is a formal parlor that is closed to guests from 8pm until 9am. Since no children are allowed in the inn we found this unusual.

I stayed at the Town Motel portion of Moseley Inn. Pros: clean and close to everything, while also feeling safe and quiet. Cons: Communication. The owners emailed me a few days before my stay and asked me if there was anything special that they could do for us. Looking back…this might just be an automated email that is sent out and not one they send out personally— although it was worded as such. We were celebrating a quinceñera trip/ present and I emailed them back about possibly making out a card for my niece but never received a response. It was disheartening. I also messaged them on Expedia and never received a response there as well. The front desk person was apologetic, but it was clear she was not the owner and really couldn’t do anything…it’s not that we needed anything extra done, but more that we felt the offer was not sincere. The front desk person let us know that they would speak to the owners. We have yet to receive an email back about what happened. Additionally, the sofa bed was very uncomfortable for my niece. It is very old/ or low quality. You can feel the springs through the VERY thin mattress. It’s not good for sleeping. She opted to sleep on the sofa itself. The room was not stocked with hand soap, so we had to ask staff to bring it to us. Overall, it was just ok. I would not stay here again.

Check in was disappointing as the front desk clerk was less than welcoming. All business. Just has you sign, gives you your room key and points to where to head for your room. Breakfast was included and delivered to your door at the scheduled time. Breakfast exceeded expectations and the person who delivered it was very nice; as were the ladies cleaning the rooms. Good location and a pleasant stay overall.

I loved the location of this beautiful Bed & Breakfast. It was within walking distance to all the cool shops and dining options of Bar Harbor. While I stayed in the motel part of it which didn’t include the breakfast unless I paid $20 for it I loved how quiet and safe my room was. The shower had amazing water pressure and they provided soap and shampoo/conditioner in bottles inside the shower. Towels were plentiful and soft. I slept great in a king sized bed with 4 fluffy pillows. TV was easy to use and I enjoyed the benefit of the small fridge in my room. Plenty of light with windows being on both sides of the room including the bathroom shower area. I stayed for two nights and if I’m ever in Bar Harbor I would definitely stay here again!

The breakfast cost $15 per person which I felt was no “deal” the fruit was old and bare minimum. We were offered our breakfast to be brought to our “motel” room. No table or chairs to make the breakfast nice. Just motel room. We were then offered one of the tables in the inns living room which was nicer.
