We stayed in late April when the main building was not yet open. The room was was very clean, heating and hot water worked perfectly. The onsite market is convenient for morning coffee and lounging. The staff have recommended some restaurants and a seafood market that turned out very good.

Although the main building and many of the amenities (e.g., restaurant) were closed for renovations, the new Coveside building was great! The rooms are well appointed and spacious. It's so great to be able to bring my pup along. Beautiful walking trails, and the Coveside market had all the necessities and a nice coffee bar.

The checkin was at the market which was a little confusing but once we figured that out everything else was fabulous. A welcome reception with wine and cheese was delightful. Will stay again!
