The comfortable common room has a fireplace, and guests enjoy home-baked muffins, coffee, and other goodies each morning on the bright, enclosed breakfast porch. The inn is charming, but you'll especially love the outdoor gardens in the backyard. The setting is in a very quiet neighborhood within a few minutes' walk of town. Some rooms have a fireplace and a canopy bed, and you can order room service for breakfast if you wish, but that means you'd have to turn down having breakfast outdoors in the Shakespearean herb garden. One suite has a private Jacuzzi and fireplace, and there is also a cottage available with a whirlpool bath and private garden.
Rooms offer a private bath, telephone, refrigerator, and television.
Your hosts serve a continental breakfast. The facility is nonsmoking. It became a boarding house in 1875. A close walk from both town and beaches, it offers 13 guest rooms with antique brass or canopy beds, and private or shared baths. Innkeepers Sheila and Fred Heap purchased the inn in 1994, and have since redecorated the rooms with floral fabrics and custom painting, including some whimsical touches such as ivy surrounding a mirror.
