Janice and Peter are phenomenal hosts. Their inn is exceptionally welcoming, well-kept, and clean. The rooms are well-maintained. Their historic home is a gem.

But most importantly, Peter and Janis are delightful hosts! You will feel like you're staying with good friends. Highly recommend!

Stayed here for two nights, the inn keepers Janice and Peter are extremely nice and run such a great inn. The place is immaculate, rooms are huge, the art on display is stunning, and breakfast is delicious. The shops and waterfront are both within easy walking distance. Highly recommend!
