St. Ann’s Motel was a wonderful stay! Owner Vince was warm, friendly, and gave us excellent travel and food recommendations. The location at the start of the Cabot Trail is perfect, and the Atlantic Ocean views from our room were absolutely stunning. Rooms were clean and comfortable, we’d love to come back!
