Rýchly prehľad: It's a quirky, historic 1864 inn right on Highway 1—which means tons of charm, but also noticeable road noise, no elevators, and zero TVs in the rooms.
Recenzované @camillekamboj: I absolutely loved my stay at this cozy B&B. Waking up and having my morning coffee on the porch was exactly the peaceful escape I needed. The bed was incredibly plush, and hanging out by the fire pit at night was pure magic. Highly recommend for a quiet weekend away!
