We treated ourselves to an ocean view room with a fireplace in the meeting house and it did not disappoint. The room was immaculate, the view was great, and the fireplace made for a cozy winter stay. We had a great dinner at the pub on property and the grab and go breakfast was nice too. This was our first time staying here but it is easily one of our favorite stays we've had. Highly recommend

Our room overlooked the beach with a beautiful balcony. We were surprised with a nice bottle of champagne when we entered our room. It was just everything we could have wanted in a short stay. We’ll definitely be back and will definitely tell our friends all about it.
