    Nothing. This lodging is fabulous!

    We had a wonderful stay! Beautiful accommodations, common areas, and outdoor garden spaces. It is small, and service was very personalized. The staff was helpful and friendly. The included breakfast was amazing! We loved exploring and hiking around the adjacent Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.

    It's expensive but worth it.

    Lovely building and pleasant garden on walking distance from the wonderful Moss Beach (4 mins on foot through a cypress forest) with a year-round harbour seal colony. Fantastic weekend escape. Staff were welcoming, rooms were large with minimalist furnishing, spotless in every aspect. Small but great breakfast, centred generous helpings of fresh fruit.

    Although the natural driveway parking area are little stones, which are probably due to the look of the Inn, It was hard to 'wheel" my luggage. But looked beautiful.

    This was a beautiful place, so close to the beach. Walking distance to a delicious restaurant also on the water. I was pleasantly surprised by our room. So much space, washer/dryer, full kitchen. Breakfast delivered daily if chosen. A must stay for sure. Beautiful coast line. I only wish I had purchased the bar of soap they make on site. Everything was SPA quality.

    Absolutely nothing. The Seal Cove Inn was exceptionally charming. I loved the location and the simple, but much appreciated amenities (breakfast, coffee and beverage bar).

    The Seal Cove Inn's location is excellent. The inn itself is beautiful and our room and bed were extremely comfortable. The property itself is gorgeous... well located to walk on a beautiful path to the stunning Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. Breakfast and complimentary coffee bar were also excellent.

    Bathrooms could use an update but still are very functional & roomy. ♥️ the towel warmer - nice touch!

    Such a welcome hospitality experience. Felt like we were in a European manor. Personal, welcoming & kind. The property is lovely & so close to incredible trails on the bluff. We loved the breakfast. The decor is soothing, super comfortable beds, the cantina with coffee, tea, water & more, also great location. We’ll be back!

    With the rooms and common spaces being so nice and current, the bathroom could really use some up-dating. While it was clean, it just felt a bit old.

    The room is a very nice size and really liked being able to walk outside through the sliding door. We really enjoyed the breakfast and afternoon wine. Also, the location is great. We loved the walk around the property and through the trees to the coast.
