Unbeatable views of English Harbour and Nelson’s dockyard in a small super friendly setting. 5 mins walk (down hill) to restaurants and supermarket. Less than 10 mins to Nelson’s Dockyard and approx 15- 20 mins to pigeon point beach. The rooms- beds comfy, great power shower in bathroom, good air con. We had a fridge in our room but no kettle but we (and other guests) had 24 hour access to free cold and hot water from the breakfast area for tea/coffee. The pool was great and cleaned every day. There were no sun umbrellas on the pool deck when we went but you could sit in the breakfast area above the pool if you wanted shade. The free breakfast was more substantial than I was expecting help yourself to fruit, yoghurt, pastries, bread/toast, cold meat/cheese, cooked things available for a small charge. There is a well stocked honesty bar available 24/7. Some of the decking areas are in need of an upgrade but this did not affect our stay. This is not a 5 star hotel but what it offers in views and friendliness are unbeatable. We are so glad we chose Ocean Inn and would definitely stay again.

The host was a super nice person and cared about his guests. He went out of his way for us to have a great cabin tor our stay. I would highly recommend Ocean Inn. The view from our cabin was stupendous, it was overlooking the bay. Even with all the steps it was manageable, and life on them was a surprise. (That was a bonus.) Thank you, Robert.

The property had the most incredible view of English Harbour and the staff and Robert, the owner, were lovely, so accommodating and would go out of their way to do anything for you. We had one of the separate chalets with our own balcony which was perfect. The buffet style breakfast was perfect and extra was put on on Christmas Day and New Years Day by Selwin who was an absolute gentleman. If you go, you need to sit down with him and listen to his amazing stories. He's done a lot and met some incredible people in his life.

Care, transportation assistance and warm friendliness of the staff and especially the owner Robert was superb. Cleanliness of the room , the comfortable bed with soft pillows and the safe environment was perfect home away from home. The location of the Ocean Inn overlooking the beautiful and peaceful scenery of the English Harbour with cool sea breeze was soul refreshing, uplifting, romantic and unforgettable memories. Loved the place and the people
