Lovely overnight stay. Welcomed with wine and cheese. Hosts offered really great recommendations on activities. Location is prime for a scenic walk to town along the ocean! Stayed in Abbott Suite which does not include bfast but was luxurious.

What a beautiful Inn! We stayed in the Yellow Room which was nicely appointed and opened into a charming sitting room. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and wonderful advice about sightseeing from our hosts. The Inn is away from the bustle of downtown, but close enough to walk. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend a stay at Chiltern Inn.

This was our first time staying in a BnB. I’m just not sure that it’s a good fit for us. The house was lovely and had plenty of amenities. The bed was not comfortable and we couldn’t get the AC to a comfortable temperature. We never saw the owners or any staff, not that we were there a lot, but just seemed a little different.

You couldn’t find better hosts than Dan and Joan. The absolutely beautiful house with all the talent and memories hanging on the wall to the authentic period furniture gave the house a warm, friendly and calming atmosphere. Dan is quite the talent on the piano and can sing with the best of them. And waking up to Joan’s delicious and artful breakfast was fantastic.
