Lovely little guesthouse-style inn. We like the communal lounge room and the range of bathrooms. The rooms are cosy with good bedding. Note that the restaurant closes by 6pm on Sundays and the café is not open on Monday, even on long weekends.

The whole Inn was so very clean. We had everything we needed. So nice to have the dining room there to have a bowl of clam chowder and delicious sourdough toast for a light dinner and a great and reasonably priced breakfast the next morning.
