Very nice small B&B centrally located. Great atmosphere and efficient staff. 5 PM small bites and wine really nice. Sitting on the porch looking at landscaped yard was sooo nice!!
Was very nice property with serene grounds. Offerings of complementary wine and hors d’oeuvres in the pm was enjoyable. Attention of all staff was critical to a fine stay. Pendle cottage was nice and free sodas was appreciated. Only slight ding was the shower was a bit slow to heat up and on the narrow side. Breakfast was excellent. A very pleasant stay!
Truly a lovely weekend getaway that makes you feel like you’re in a forest hideaway. Close enough to Main Street to walk to the shops and even all the way down to the shore. Nice staff, tasty food, clean. This place was recommended to me by a friend and I’d be happy to recommend it, myself. I’d stay here again with the only difference being that I’d stay LONGER.
I have no words for this beautiful property. We had a lovely time on the gorgeous grounds, enjoyed delicious food and treats for breakfast, and slept peacefully in the cozy room. Don't hesitate, book today!!! You wont want to leave.
Everything was exceptional, wonderful, and all around perfect. We got married during our stay, and the property made the most beautiful and wonderful stay for our special weekend. The cottage was lovely and the breakfasts were such a special highlight of every single stay.
