Beautiful property with clean, comfortable rooms and a cozy bar downstairs that was perfect for relaxing after a day out. The location was excellent and within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, the waterfront, and the area’s beautiful historic homes. The breakfast was also outstanding and honestly better than many restaurants we visited during our trip. Would definitely stay here again!
