I loved the property, it’s all so beautifully decorated and a lot of outdoor space. Sitting on the porch early in the morning and in the evening was so lovely to look out on the water. Go ahead and grab a coffee in the lovely in the Cape Ann room for breakfast and talk to John, the owner. John is a life-long local with a lot of interesting stories and don’t forget to give his sweet little doggo, Skipper some pets before heading out for the day. The location can’t be beat. I didn’t rent a car but the area is so walkable, just a 15 minute walk to Main street and is 5 mins from Pavilion beach. Breakfast is a nice continental layout with pastries, juice, coffee, and tea as nice snack to get you going.

The Innkeeper is very nice! However, the property is very old and tired. Also, there is really no onsite service. After check-in you won't see a soul until breakfast. We had to leave for a flight before the breakfast service started and the room was locked and there wasn't even an offer to set out a muffin or anything for our departure. As a point of clarification, stayed at 5 other inns this year and all had some 24 hour accommodations for coffee or early departure breakfast items. All in all, it pains me to not be more positive, but it is what it is.
