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.

8/10 Good

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.
Edward, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We absolutely loved this stay! The room was spacious with cozy vibes and the seating area right outside our room would be perfect for a nice day! Would definitely stay again. Plus the breakfast in bed was a perfect start to our morning!
Briana, 1-night trip

Sweet Bed & Breakfast

Lovely Inn that's actually a Bed & Breakfast! The service was fantastic- from the Emily at check in to the hostess at breakfast. They were delightful. The location is great - not in the middle of Main St where the foot traffic is, but super close to walk to everything on Main St.

Wonderful stay
Jasvir, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Sabrina, 1-night trip

Walls are thin. Bed was creaky and not very comfortable.

Very clean and like home
JIN HWAN, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
