“Nice inn if the weather is good.”

Stayed in the garden cottage 2 bedroom suite. The cottage was half refurbished. The kitchen and bath were not. We were warned of this when we booked so no complaints but why not refurbish them?

“Sweet Serenity & Dog friendly”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

We reserved the Pet Suite for our VIP dog (Very Important Pet) and were pleasantly surprised by the hotel's attention to detail. Chocolate chip cookies on arrival, list of dog friendly establishments, etc. The hotel backs to a nature trail that leads straight to Crescent Beach. Surrounding the trail is a protected nature preserve with many a unique bird alighting... More

I celebrated my birthday with a 3 day stay by myself and thoroughly enjoyed the Inn! The room was great, and I loved having a big shower, and an iHome to play my music.
