I am glad i chose the Primrose Inn, all of my expectations were met. Warm welcome by staff, nice and cozy room, good breakfast, tasty… the property is quaint, but it had all the amenities of a modern house. Afternoon tea with baked goodies are a nice addition… walking distance to the village center, close to the entrance of acadia national park…

Accessibility to the main street, accessibility to Arcadia Park, the market, walking paths around this place, quiet and peaceful, and all the staff at this place were people who truly enjoyed their work. If I go to Arcadia again, I will definitely stay there.
