Our experience at Lavender Inn was nothing short of exceptional. From the seamless check-in process to the comfortable amenities and convenient location, every aspect of our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend Lavender Inn to anyone seeking a cozy retreat with a personal touch. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and efficiency during the check-in process. The staff's welcoming demeanor set the tone for our entire visit. Situated conveniently, Lavender Inn allowed us to park our car with ease, thanks to ample parking facilities, and take leisurely strolls to nearby attractions. We particularly enjoyed our walk to the wharf, where we were able to enjoy our lunch, soaking in the coastal ambiance. The location of the inn was a major plus. We felt completely at ease and safe throughout our stay. Our room at Lavender Inn was comfortable and clean. The addition of a small refrigerator and microwave in the room provided added convenience for our stay. We will definitely stay here again.

Very quaint setting. The room was a little tight, especially the bathroom area but overall a nice place within walking distance to restaurants and such.
