Margaret, Jul 2025
Pros (+) Great location on the island, walking distance to everything. Beautiful views of the bay and sunset. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on what looked like a cute restaurant. Rooms pretty and comfy. Would recommend. Would return.
Cons (-) No elevator and we had a lot of luggage. No staff available to help us get our luggage up to our room.

Peter, May 2025
Pros (+) Excellent location and really comfortable. Unique style of building and very clever renovation from an old ship construction shed. Staff were lovely and super easy to deal with.
Cons (-) Quite noisy in the evening as the restaurant is right below the rooms. Once they closed though it was nice and quiet.

Duxbury, May 2025
Pros (+) Our room Nr 2 had a fantastic location with a magnificent view. Loved the room but it was missing a table of any kind to charge a device. They brought in a small table and that problem was solved. There is free covered parking and a great breakfast. Overall it’s a great hotel and certainly better than a most high end hotels in the U.S. but it wasn’t exceptional value.
Cons (-) 9pm lockdown
