Room was comfortable, very clean and quiet -- a beautiful space with a warm, relaxing energy. The location is perfect. You're within walking distance of downtown shops and restaurants. Plum Island is a short car ride away. Breakfast was excellent -- varied, fresh and generous. Our innkeeper, Sadie, was gracious and accommodating. Her close attention to detail is what makes the inn exceptional. We're looking forward to our next stay.
