The innkeepers were friendly. The overall property needed modernized but our room was recently updated. We ordered oatmeal for breakfast and although simple, it hit the spot and our server was very nice.

This is a gem of an Inn to stay at. The couple who owns it is very very friendly and took time to chat. The breakfast was awesome. The view is spectacular. We would not hesitate to return to this facility, and we would certainly highly recommend it. Thanks very much.

The little Asian Lady that deems to be running this property was extremely rude and unwelcoming. I would suggest that she retrain in the hospitality industry before this place goes down.. Obviously not a real busy place as there were spiders and webs all over the place. I would not recommend or return based on this individuals behaviour.

We really appreciated the comfortable chairs in the room. Unfortunately, the lighting was poor. Only one bedside table & lamp leaving the other bedside with nothing. Despite having a restaurant, they only serve breakfast & there’s an extra charge for that. The room was clean with extra towels.

The outside is deceiving from the newly renovated interior. Don't judge a book by its cover. Pleasantly surprised. Had a wonderful sleep, comfy beds, new bathroom.

I love this quaint little inn. If you’re looking for a 5 star, better prepare to pay lots of $$$. For the money, this place was just fine. Beautiful view of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Clean room with everything you need for a short stay. Two great restaurants not far away. (Take the advice of the front desk for that). All in all, I’d stay here again.
