“This inn sits directly on the water, offering a distinct advantage with its harbor views and proximity to the train. While breakfast might lean more towards delicious pastries than fruit, the attentive innkeeper and clean, comfortable rooms create a welcoming atmosphere that makes returning a clear consideration.”
