Everyone was so nice.. The dining room/ menu was great. We loved sitting out in the lobby reading and looking out at the gorgeous view.. The was a nice walking/hiking path right up the road that took us up and out over the ocean to see the seals... It was a relaxing wonderful time.

The property location is very beautiful but a little difficult to find on the gps. Recommend to get there during daylight as it is a bit difficult to see the building from the road at night as it’s on a small hill. The view from the rooms during the day are amazing. The front desk is very nice and friendly.

I had an amazing time staying at this inn. The staff were incredibly friendly, the breakfast was delicious, and the surroundings were beautiful. The prices were reasonable, and the live band performances in the evening created a great atmosphere.

Amazing! Pub attached was wonderful, We had dinner in a cute cellar area which gave privacy while giving the pub feel with live music. The view is beautiful. Bald Eagles flying around. Next door was a great outdoor museum.
