Dust Bunnies for Days

Our cottage was good from afar, but far from good. While it may have once been a charming little getaway, it is long overdue for care and upkeep. The bedrooms had smoke detectors removed, and there was an overwhelming amount of dust — not just a little, but on nearly every surface, including the walls, blinds, ceiling fans, shelves, windows, and floors. The bathroom had visible mold and mildew, and the front of the house was overgrown and unwelcoming. Water stains on the ceiling raised concerns about potential water damage and additional mold. The kitchen amenities (silverware, pans, spatula) were dirty with food residue still on them. There was no blind/curtain on the kitchen window so we had no choice but to look into our neighbors cottage. On the positive side, the location was convenient — close to the beach — and the beds were comfortable. However, given the overall lack of cleanliness and maintenance, I would not return under these conditions.

Great place! - we traveled for business, and it was only me staying overnight - not a planned vacation, just a last-minute arrangement - but so surprised at the beauty of the surroundings; the endless beach, the clear ocean so pristine and quiet - and the inn staff was so very pleasant - room was impeccably clean, quiet, just the birds - there is a restaurant right adjacent with fresh sea food, I did not have the time to check it out but it looked lively (next time) over all it was a surprised finding! Beautiful place!

Spinneys was not at all what we expected. It was a very old building, really quite run down. The room was small and obliviously, the closet had been converted to a shower, so no place to hang up clothing and no one of extra proportions would fit in the shower. The room was not "dirty" per se, just not very clean and lots of stairs! I was recovering from a serious knee injury so the stairs were a deal breaker. We had paid for two nights and only stayed one. We asked for a refund, but were ignored even after having stated that the stairs were a real problem. Too bad it was so far into the boondocks, we wouldn't have even stayed one night after hiking up all the stairs and seeing the room. The bed was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. The sheets appeared to be clean a freshly changed.

Loved staying at Spinneys, got to partake in the cedar sauna and staff was accommodating to an early check in. Next morning we were able to wake up and watch seals play in the water right out front, along with a beautiful sunrise. Will be back!

The location was perfect. Loved the fact that we could cook there. It was large and roomy. Beds comfortable. However the kitchen area was filthy. Like it had not been cleaned. I would go back again though. It was the end of the season and probably not much help left.
