Great Bar Harbor Accommodations
Great stay steps away from everything in Bar Harbor. The hospitality of B&B owners was wonderful and they took great care of us. Our room was spacious and charming as is the whole property.

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!
