Rebecca United Kingdom

quaint decor beautiful position and value for money

Roger Australia

So close to town and the beach! Sweet and comfortable decor, the outdoor fire pits, quiet, friendly staff and easy socializing with other guests.

Deborah United States

I had a lovely high ceiling’d room which was very comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast was good. Location was right up from the beach and near to my favorite restaurants.

Caroline United States

Loved the ambiance of sitting out on the patio with the fire pits. That was the best part. Also it was a dog friendly hotel and the other guests were very friendly as dog people often are.

Marie United States

Loved that we could easily walk to restaurants and down scenic drive

Andrew United States

Exactly as described; romantic and cozy. Great location.

Sanda United States

Wine was great. Loved fire place in the room as well as gas fire outside in morning and evenings. We had a small patio for privacy which was nice when we wanted to be outside when we wanted to be alone. Will definitely book again hopefully same room.

John United States

The location is prime for being downtown next to restaurants and the shortest distance from any inn to the public beach. The inn has a cute outdoor patio with several seating areas, fire pits, and an adorable cat that plops in front of the fire and glares at passerby. Our room (Sea Lion) was spacious with good light, a fireplace, a seating area, and ample closet space.
