"This property has so many amenities. The bed was comfy, our room was spacious, location was great, check in easy, We had issues with the jacuzzi tub in our room and didnt get to use it though . Thats the only negative. Would definitely stay again but wouldn't pay extra for the room with the jacuzzi tub. On site they have a roman spa, a hot tub, an outdoor pool, and an indoor pool, so it's not really needed anyway."

Lamie's Inn and The Old Salt Restaurant

10/10 Excellent
"Lamie's Inn had rustic charm beyond my expectations, even down to actual keys to access your room. The decor and feel of the property matched its historic description. Side note: there were only stairs to reach the second floor. Rooms were clean, and the housekeeping staff was very attentive. The front desk staff was probably my favorite part of Lamie's. They always had warm, friendly smiles and welcomed a conversation. The continental breakfast buffet was very appreciated each day. I enjoyed two meals at The Old Salt Restaurant and would recommend the fresh haddock or sea scallops!"
