Great stay at the Yankee Clipper Inn. Such a cute hotel which is beautifully designed and kept. One of the best breakfasts I’ve had at a hotel. I think our server’s name was Claire and she was an absolute doll. Would highly recommend this hotel.

We love the place. We would definitely come back. The water from the shower took a while before it warmed up. (Getting picky…the rug could be replaced….) The staff were awesome! Their breakfast was great! I would give it a 4.9!!! It is not ADA accessible, but that was in the information regarding the facility.

This hotel is clean, quiet and beautiful. It’s right on the water and our room had a balcony we could sit on. Each guest gets a made to order breakfast each morning seated in the dining room with beautiful views. I would choose to stay there again.

Something that was said at the desk made me believe we were given one of the worst rooms due to booking with a third party. Tiny room divided bath with tiny shower with hard to use faucet that made it easy to burn yourself. Place felt and looked dusty. Loved the setting view and food service and most of the staff except grumpy manager.

The hotel has a very good location! It's private to have a beautifull view in the garden to the village & you can walk to the center! We really loved the breakfast in the veranda and were helped by the most sweet host Pamm. The pancakes were really amazing, as was the chef for telling us his preparation method. :-D
