We were so impressed with the quaint and eclectic look of the property. It was warm and charming in its decor. We were able to choose our room and decided on the third floor dormer that was comfortable and private.

The hosts Sandy & Cathy were very welcoming. Once checked into our room we met them along with other guests on their beautiful deck & shared a complimentary glass of wine. Sandy shared many historic stories of the area, very interesting.The room & inn was very clean & the bed very comfortable. We were served an excellent continental breakfast the next morning, Sandy serving it in his kilt. The only issue we found was the air conditioning could have been functioning better on such a hot night.

Room was small but we were there for short overnight stay so didn't matter.Wife has MS and there were alot of stairs up to room but again short stay.Walking distance to several restaurants with harbor view.Close to ferry terminal and motorcycle parking.Owner very accommodating.

We arrive 15 min before check in and was told to wait in the parking lot or the garden in the hot sun. The aircon knobs control was removed and was told the aircon was set to maximum. It 35 degrees outside and waited 2 hrs to cool and complained that it was not cooling. We had to fight for the aircon to be fixed and called Expedia to to move us but to no avail

The Inn is beautiful and near many restaurants. The hosts were wonderful and helped immensely with tips and suggestions for our trip to the Cabot Trail. Finally, the breakfast was fresh and tasty (loved the homemade croissants) and served by the one and only Scotsman in a kilt. Enjoyed our time there.
