What a beautiful surprise, the small lane to access and the feeling of being off the beaten path. The facilities are in pristine shape and very clean. The rooms are nice. The beds, very comfortable. We enjoyed the coziness of the fireplace. The buffet breakfast is small in choices but very good. The yogurt was some off the best I have had. The staff are great!!!

We made a last minute reservation at Warf's Master Inn, and could not have had a better experience. Cliff and Jessica were very helpful and accommodating, and the room and view were beautiful. I would recommend staying at the Inn when visiting Port Arena.
