The room was comfortable and clean. Nice shower in a small bathroom, considering this is an old property.
Wonderful view to the ocean where the sun rises!
Breakfast was good and the staff is very friendly. I recommend this place.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay for our wedding anniversary and we cannot wait to be back!! All the staff was so very friendly, especially Mariah. She was very accommodating and helpful.
Wonderful rooms, pool and breakfast!
We will definitely be back!
Thank you so much for a lovely stay!!
Our stay was amazing. The views were incredibel. The food was fantastic. We loved having windows facing the ocean and leaving them open at night. This was my 50th birthday trip and we are definitely planning to return!
We stayed here for a wedding during the weekend. The property was very picturesque. It was quite while we were there and zero issues. Breakfast was good, bed was clean and comfortable. Kids loved it and we would definitely stay here again.
The atmosphere from the moment we arrived was amazing! The staff members truly made you feel welcomed and were very helpful. We will surely return in the future.
Beautiful property and amazing staff. They were so kind to me and my husband as we planned our wedding near by and allowed us to take some beautiful first look photos. We will absolutely be back to visit these wonderful people. Thank you again!
Lovely stay here. We plan to come back. Only one suggestion would be to have some sort of breakfast even if a light continental breakfast. Lovely staff. Beautiful property.

Fruit flies all over the food that was put out for breakfast.
Lovely to sit on deck overlooking green, pool and ocean. So relaxing, stately yet unpretentious. Wonderful breakfast served daily. Bed, pillows, comforter comfortable. Shower perfect. Would love to go back. Scenery is so priceless.
Great hotel! Bed extremely comfortable! Nice linens and towels! Hotel is historic so it’s not a contemporary place but has some very nice updates. The pool is salt water and overlooks the ocean. Felt very much like Being at a resort right here in New England. Food that we had was excellent and the stafff are extremely inviting and warm. We will be back
