Our stay at the Inn was absolutely wonderful! The location was perfect for a quiet retreat with stunning water views, and we loved that we could easily bike to local shops and restaurants. The cleanliness and size of our room exceeded expectations, and the breakfast area was lovely. However, the limited dining options were a slight downside, and we would have appreciated more regular housekeeping during our stay.
