The room was a good size for two people. We really wish for a small fridge to keep things cold and maybe at least one chair to sit on in the room. Staff was great, very helpful and there was no issues with the Inn

We stayed in the main Inn with a 2 room suite. Even though it was old, it had a lot of character! The bathroom floor was on a slant, but all the fixtures were updated and worked well. Nice breakfast and friendly staff.

The staff are very accommodating. This place is a bit older but has a rustic charm. Can tell it’s very well maintained. Wish there were a few more options at breakfast but it was definitely acceptable. Overall, a wonderful stay, would stay again :)

The room was okay, needs some updating. Shower did not have much pressure. Check-in was convenient and staff was friendly. Location was a bit far from restaurants. Breakfast was decent. Probably would not stay there again.

Room was very small and very dated but convenient for its purposes. Also the breakfast was basically finished by the time I went down at 9am which wasn’t late. I had to ask for items. Unfortunately I don’t think the hotel was value for money.

We checked in and thought our room had a fridge which is needed for medicine. Since there was availability, we were upgraded to a room with a fridge for no charge. We really appreciated it. The room was large and clean. A table and chairs set outside made for a nice evening drink. Breakfast was okay but there were not a whole lot of options. There was a trail nearby and a beach area. Staff were excellent. There is a restaurant next door if you don’t feel like driving. Great place to stay.

Its an older Inn but very clean and friendly staff. Our niece enjoyed the pool with her 2 kids. We did not like the price per night. Cavendish area is very nice but pricey. Thanks
