Booked this last minute, arrived a few hours before sunset. Super close to the beach which was amazing. Our room was #1 and it was charming. Walls are a bit thin and the windows wobbly but when you can go to bed hearing the waves...what could be better. Breakfast could happen if you organized it in your room, we didn't but the young guy at the front made us coffee and that was great! Thanks for the great night.

Let me start by saying the location is absolutely fantastic. The Inn is located across one of the nicest stretches of beach. We travelled 14 hrs from Ontario to get there. We called in advance to advise we were arriving around 8. From the outside it was so lovely. But then we go in, the stern owner doesn't even greet you. 3 words were spoken to us: sanitize, name and sign. I was shocked. No other form of check in. We were exhausted so asked where we could get some food. He shrugs his shoulders saying to us 'Times have changed, don't know' then he said to check a cafe down the road. Fortunately

Not my first - and definitely not the last time at this cozy and charming place! Very welcoming and caring hosts, amazing old Victorian style building, cozy rooms, tasty meals! Highly recommended if you want to escape from your routine or take a beak from a noisy town. The hotel is very well thought, and the owners are always ready to help you with anything you might need.

Location was good across the road from a small nice beach; however, staff was not very helpful during checking and room and bathroom were very small.
