Rooms
Five luxurious, eponymous suites are elegantly appointed with private en-suite baths, granite accents, air conditioning, and whirlpool tubs. The Lloyd Room, for example, was named after Lloyd George, the great-grandson of Thomas George, the original owner of the land that the bed and breakfast sit upon. The spacious rooms either have a partial or full ocean view. An outdoor picnic space, veranda, and garden overlook the stunning waters. Freshly baked cookies are available as an evening snack, and you may also take some cookies, jam, or chocolates for the road home. Free parking is available onsite.

Breakfast is served from 8:00 – 9:30 am in their Victorian-style dining room, though they would accommodate guests who check-out prior to 8:00 am with a light continental self-serve breakfast. Their hot breakfast selection always consists of cereals, fresh eggs, fresh fruit, bakery bread, coffee, teas, and juices. Unique choices may include their Blueberry Cheese Pancakes.
