We had a great time, loved the front porch area for some evening relaxation as well as the back porch for our morning coffee. Dinner was fantastic as well. My only complaint would be that it may be time to replace the hairdryer in the bathroom as the rubber handle is very sticky from all of the cleaning. Highly recommend to stay here. It was a short walk from the ferry. They also held our luggage until our room was available.

Would stay again.

A lovely gem walkable to town in one direction and other hotels (especially Spring House where you can cocktail on the lawn) in the other direction. Having a room with a balcony was a plus for gorgeous breezes. But we forewarned, bathrooms are tiny.

We loved this adorable hotel. The room was quaint and cozy, the staff was very friendly, and the grounds were amazing. There is a life size chess board near a very pleasant outdoor seating area under an old willow tree. Right out of a story book! Even made friends with the roosters that reside in the back :)
