Wonderful inn. Delightful room. The host took me on a tour, explained everything. She called guests ahead of time to let us know about special parking considerations around the Pumpkin Festival, so I could come and go without restriction. I am so grateful. Thank you. I will stay here again!

Nice quaint B&B. Location is great on main street and walkable to all shops in old town. Parking is tight. Wi-Fi did not work, and cell service is poor. They also ran out of half-and-half for the coffee. Complementary red & white wine in the evening was nice.

A lovely location but separate bathroom?

The room we stayed in was very small and the bathroom was separate from the room - it was only accessible from the public corridor (this wasn’t clear from the pictures but on looking at the small print realised it was hidden in the amenities section!). Breakfast was ok but not great. The outside space is lovely and their wine hour was a nice touch. It felt strange to have a B&B where everything felt so hands off (nobody at check in as we were outside the two hour window, paid staff doing breakfast not the owner).

Sweet Bed & Breakfast

Lovely Inn that's actually a Bed & Breakfast! The service was fantastic- from the Emily at check in to the hostess at breakfast. They were delightful. The location is great - not in the middle of Main St where the foot traffic is, but super close to walk to everything on Main St.

Nice overall. Walls were very thin you could hear everything out side of the room. Area was nice enough, everything closed early. Recommend Cameron’s Pub down the street and Pasta Moon for dinner was great! Hiking was close as were the beaches.
