Already looking forward to going back

Can't not say stunning enough. Hotel ground is beautifully designed with trees, flowers and fountains. Jasmine fragrance permeates the air and greets guests upon arrival. Breakfast is served in style with a different entrée each day. Guests are pampered by very attentive servers (Dana is absolutely fabulous). Happy hour everyday with wine and delicious hor'doeuvres from 530 to 630pm.

Truly a lovely weekend getaway that makes you feel like you’re in a forest hideaway. Close enough to Main Street to walk to the shops and even all the way down to the shore. Nice staff, tasty food, clean. This place was recommended to me by a friend and I’d be happy to recommend it, myself. I’d stay here again with the only difference being that I’d stay LONGER.

Nice bed and breakfast type inn. The house is old but very well-built, so it's pretty sound proof between rooms. The room was very well maintained as well. The breakfast and the option to dine in the room makes a comfortable morning. The in-room spa service was convenient. The room with the skylight windows did make me wake up much earlier than intended because of the brightness. Something to consider if you are interested in that room. Might work for early birds.
