Tbe breakfast area made it easy to enter act with other guest . Food was good. Rooms nice. Location was great and quiet. Great and different artwork outside nice. Garden
The grounds alone at First Colony are worth a visit. And we were fortunate to visit with Cary who has created and maintains the grounds. I hope you can visit his gallery. This was absolutely my favorite part about the Inn. His creations are imaginative and fun!
The room was clean and comfortable. And the breakfast was a full breakfast.
Check in at 4. Front desk closes at 5. We arrived at 5:30. No keys left for us. Tried to call on phone by front door at hotel but it did not work. Walked back to my car to call on my cell phone.
Nice people came back when we called to give us keys. No remote for TV. Texted managers and they returned with a remote.
Wonderful historic inn. Clean, spacious room. Innkeeper left keys for us since we arrived after 5 pm. Only negative is that we wished coffee and tea were available downstairs for earlier risers before 8:30 breakfast. Keurig in room wasn’t supplied.
Alma the lady at the lobby is awesome very attentive, pleasant and amazing hard worker.
Breakfast was delicious.
The room was good just a suggestion they need to add blackout curtains for more privacy, and the streaming on the tv is very slow to other than that the place is in a very good location.
Beautiful historic hotel. Did not expect hot cooked breakfast each morning & social hour every afternoon. Delicious! Comfortable accommodations & for being so old, very quiet. Did not hear the people above us. Short walk to the beach. Beautiful grounds & nice pool. Bikes, beach chairs & towels provided.
Nice breakfast and 3:30 happy hour (wine social).
Has its own beach access.
Very capable staff. Beautiful plantings. Lots of character and land.
We saw bunnies on the lawn.
Would recommend.
As always come here every year, awesome visit. Beautiful surroundings- very serene. Close to restaurants, attractions- private walkway to beach. Beautiful artwork through out the grounds. Service is excellent- everyone is very friendly and accommodating.
I had an exceptionally positive experience at this establishment. It is a historical site situated in close proximity to the beach. Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find a wine social in progress, and a delicious breakfast was also provided for us. I highly recommend this location.
