    delicious breakfast
    cozy atmosphere
    smoke detector scare
    lack of outdoor seating

    The pleasant surprise of a delicious breakfast helped compensate for the smoke detector scare. The cozy atmosphere made for a nice retreat despite the privacy drawbacks from the restaurant’s outdoor seating.

    charming atmosphere of the inn
    parking difficulties

    We loved the cozy atmosphere, the spotless room, and the engaging local recommendations from the staff. The location is perfect, just a stroll away from downtown and the docks for Monhegan Island.

    Parking was a bit tricky since it shared space with the restaurant.

    great room but lack of personal touch

    The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The restaurant surpassed my expectations with excellent dining options. I appreciated the convenient guidance provided via email prior to arrival.

    There was no one on site for support during my stay.

    spacious room
    globally inspired dishes
    lack of outdoor seating
    early morning disturbance
    restaurant closure

    The spacious room provided a comfortable retreat, complemented by quick responses from the property manager whenever assistance was needed. Dining included globally inspired dishes, which proved to be a highlight of the stay. However, the lack of outdoor seating on the property limited relaxation options, and an early morning disturbance from the smoke detector was a frustrating experience. It's worth noting that the restaurant was closed during our visit, which was disappointing considering prior recommendations.

    A Cozy Escape with Exceptional Dining!

    We enjoyed a delightful stay despite the stormy weather! The clean room on the third floor was charming. Dinner at the Dory Pub was memorable—great selection of local brews and scrumptious meals. Don't miss heading downtown for the relaxing atmosphere and local flavor. A must-visit!
