The owner and staff were very informative of the area and places to visit. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The breakfast food was great, they offered fruit medleys, yogurt, eggs, potatoes etc… Essentially any familiar favourites one might like for breakfast. Bonus: great views everywhere on the property!

When we arrived a little frazzled, Jane was amazing. She gave us all we needed to access our room and suggestions for restaurants. She even offered me food from her home if the restaurants were closed. This place had great staff, amazing views, and a nice breakfast.

The people and the view are unbeatable! Breakfast was scrumptious and the dining room/deck are excellent venues. The rooms were fine - comfortable enough beds, good shower. Soaps, shampoos of low quality. No iron. It's about 10 minutes from the restaurants, etc, which is also acceptable. It's a shame the restaurant is no longer operating except for breakfast. We are sure it must have been amazing.

Wonderful place to stay. The staff were helpful and friendly for accommodating a late check-in. The view from the place was amazing. The location was a bit further out of town than we realized but that was on us. But it was worth it for the view!

We stayed one night at this property, the inn was welcoming and the room was great. Amazing views of the water. The Breakfast was good, but could use a few tweaks - like fresh fruit, not Costco and the potatoes could be jazzed up a bit. Aside from these very minor ideas it was a great place to stay on your trip to the east coast !
