I felt room 11, was ok. It didn’t face the water unless you were on the deck, it faced more of the parking lot. But overall it was a nice place.

I am in love with this place. You can ride bikes, paddleboard, do yoga. They have a wonderful restaurant and the atmosphere is serene. Views worth a million bucks. The staff was so friendly and the rooms were so cute. We loved our stay!

One of my greatest stays and memories

One of the greatest states I’ve ever had. I will be back. I love the fact that they are pet friendly and you get very luxurious service. The rooms were amazing. I had a patio. I could see the beach right in front of me and the water. Everyone is so genuine and accommodating. I love the customer service. The vibe is everything. The decorations of the room and coordination made me feel so comfortable and the bed and pillows were amazing. The hotel is superduper clean. I love the various areas of the hotel, like the coffee room, the gym, and there’s just a space for everyone seems like which I do love. I also love the restaurant and their choices of food. I had both lunch and dinner there and I’m so beyond satisfied. I love the private space that you get in the area . I love the rural access.

Overall good but the hotel was almost empty off season in late march . I wonder how noisy is the room during the season because the sound isolation isn’t good… Very good beds and the bathroom may need a remodel but was very clean.

To say this is a hidden gem is an under statement! It was a wonderful seaside getaway with lots of little detail including nautical decor, a coffee room, gym, old fashioned bikes with a beautiful landscape to ride, and wonderful, friendly people - not to mention little pub right next door. I can’t wait to return!

Short stay

Only big issue was there was no way to cool off the room which was almost 80 degrees in winter so we had to open the windows. Hotel was empty except for our group. Concierge was responsive before and after our stay.
