Delightful

The stellar reviews rang true for me. Friendly welcome. Lovely, quiet, light-flooded room. Delicious hot fresh breakfast. Fruit, cookies, wine, and coffee. Location right on Main Street but just far enough (like two blocks) from the shopping strip to be nice and quiet. If I have one…I can’t even call it a complaint. Just know that my room (can’t remember the name) took forever to get hot water. Trust the process; it will come.

We stayed one night - it was quiet, bed was comfortable, fireplace in the room. bkfst consisted of eggs, two small sausage patties, potatoes, yogurt with fruit, orange juice, and coffee. It also had a nice outdoor space with free wine.

Nice overall. Walls were very thin you could hear everything out side of the room. Area was nice enough, everything closed early. Recommend Cameron’s Pub down the street and Pasta Moon for dinner was great! Hiking was close as were the beaches.

Nice facility, room was well stocked, extra blankets provided, heater provided, and nice complimentary wine at the common area. To make this a 5-star is to stock the soap dispenser at the shower area, fix the broken hook on the back of the bathroom door, and make the breakfast just a little bit more fancy and unique.

Cute charming B&B

The room was small but cozy. It was my first time at a bed and breakfast and I really loved it! The breakfast was really yummy and the overall atmosphere was quite charming! Wish there was a little More parking though.
