We loved our new years eve package. The inn went above and beyond to make sure our night didn't feel affected by covid. They brought our late night snacks to our room... Because the dancing was cancelled. The dinner and breakfast went above and beyond. So yummy. The view from our waterfront room was pretty wild as we felt like we were right on the water. The inn needs updating... Especially in the rooms. This shouldn't stop anybody because it was clean... Cozy and the beds were so nice.

Very charming hotel. Its an old historic building so doesnt have all the amenities that newer hotels can offer. Room was clean and quiet, the hot breakfast was included with the room and very delicious.

Been staying here off and on for 17 years. Love it here. The staff is friendly and remember the guests. The rooms are clean and near the water. Ocassionally we boat up and stayed for the night enjoying the restaurant and a walk through town. Haven't been to the spa since pre COVID don't know if the services are currently available. Last spa treatment was amazing. I highly recommend.

A little pricey for early October but my partner and I enjoyed our stay (290.00 with taxes & fees). We got the river view room with a king bed and jacuzzi! The bed was very comfortable, clean room & a gorgeous view of the water. Adirondack chairs to enjoy outside the room on the water & breakfast was included. The Watermark restaurant is currently closed but the pub is open. Great location - close to the marina & other attractions!

I just had one of the worst restaurant experiences of my life. The problem was the entertainment, he was so loud it was traumatizing, and the staff agreed. They said they had already asked him to turn it down and apparently he turned it up instead. I was early to meet a friend for dinner and I had forgotten my phone, so could not call and have them meet me elsewhere. I asked the staff if they could have someone senior to have him tone it back a bit, and to seat me as far away from the entertainer Trever Walsh, as possible. It seems he told the staff he would stop playing if he had to turn

We went, as a family to the pub at the Gan Inn. The view from the outside patio is breathtaking. We've been coming here on occasion for years. Unfortunately, despite the excellent service, the food was sooo disappointing. We ordered wings and nachos for the family to share. The wings were sparce but acceptable but the nachos looked like they came from the bottom of the bags. Bits and pieces of dried up chips that had barely any cheese on top. They were dry,tasteless, even our grandchildren didn't want them. There was more cheese in a mousetrap. Sorry. The service was excellent but we won't be going

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean, and the staff was very friendly. The complimentary breakfast was way better than we anticipated. Giving four stars only because the rooms could definitely use an update as everything is very outdated, and the TV was very small and placed very awkwardly in the room where it was so far away from the bed we couldnt really watch it.
