My boyfriend and I stayed here for Labor day weekend and had the best time! It's definitely a long ride (4+ hours) from Boston to Bar Harbor so we were glad that our room was ready for us for an early check-in. We didn't spend a lot of time IN the room - as we kept our days pretty busy.... More

Could not have had a better stay, despite the trek up to the third floor. We booked late, so the one room available was on the third floor. It was still great and well worth the stairs. We were there over the 4th of July. It was a great place to be to celebrate the fourth. Andrew, the owner, was... More

This is a beautiful B&B full of antique furniture that adds to the ambiance and comfort for the entire house. It is a little outside of town so nice and quite but definitely walkable to town. The Innkeeper is the best. He is always available to give suggestions on where to go and what to do. They serve a continental... More

We are two women friends travelling together. We spent three nights at the Thornhedge Inn in the room called Greenway Court, the only room with two beds. The pros: We had a large room and plenty of hot water and good water pressure in the bath. The Inn is in a great location just a couple of blocks from the... More

We stayed at this B&B in August 2012 in one of the rooms in the annex attached to the rear of the main house. We had a wonderful stay. Several visitors were repeats. The room was clean, comfortable, quiet, attractive. The proprietor (Andrew?) is friendly, helpful and cooks a excellent continental breakfast himself. I believe the property has been in... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here two nights while visiting Acadia National Park. The inn is beautifully decorated with lovely antiques. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a private bath. Andrew the innkeeper was so gracious, friendly, and helpful. He knows everything about Bar Harbor and made us feel very welcome. We asked about a specific restaurant, and he... More

Stayed for 3 nights 8/12. Room was great ( Stanwood ), Fireplace, very comfortable bed, very clean, and a private balcony overlooking the front yard and street. Location is perfect, 10 minute walk to downtown Bar Harbor but still plenty quiet at night. Andy was always available for any info needed about the area or just to share his vast... More

Thornhedge is a delightful historic mansion a few minutes walk from the centre of town. We had a lovely stay which owed much to Andy, the consumate innkeeper. He was always happy to offer excellent recommendations for restaurants and bars or activities. His sardonic wit at breakfast and 5pm wine tasting made for a fun stay. The hotel decor is... More

We stayed at the Thornhedge once in about 2001 or so and since then have stayed at several B&B's in Bar Harbor on our yearly visits. This weekend we tried the Thornhedge again and I honestly don't know why we ever went anywhere else! This B&B is the most beautiful one we've been in. The breakfast is delicious and it's... More

We stayed at the Thornhedge Inn 2 nights this time. We have stayed here several times in the last 20 years but this was the first time since Andy took over. Andy is the ideal B&B host, always available but never in your face. He is quick and excellent with dining suggestions. The location is wonderful because you can easily... More
