Seacliffe Inn

Great enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. 1 thing that was difficult was our tv/remote had issues. Kept saying no signal. Since there is not front desk staff, we had no tv for the night. View was great. Front desk were very considerate and helpful. It was the perfect birding hub. Would recommend.

We were expecting much nicer accommodations for the price. The view of the water was less than stellar, the bed was a very SMALL double... not suitable if you are 6 ft tall or more, the fridge in rooms was noisy, that lack of light made the room very dark and a bedside nightstand only on one side of the bed.. so forget reading a book in bed. The ventilation in bathrooms was extremely loud. The worst part for those of us who struggle with anytype of smoke is although do not smoke is posted ... it is never enforced and you walk through a cloud of smoke from cigarettes or vaps as you exit the hotel. Do yourself a favour and stay elsewhere for the same price.

We stayed at Seacliffe during the height of the birding season in May. While the room is large and quaint it does not come with either a kettle or coffee maker. There is a gas fireplace to heat the room. However, the pilot light is often out after each use. When asked for a kettle the concierge said that they have only one kettle to share between all the rooms on the 2nd and 3 rd floor. There is no elevator in the building with two flights of wooden stairs between each floor. So if your room is on the third floor there is lots of climbing to negotiate. The front desk is not manned after 9 pm. Though by 8.45 pm you can here the receptionist driving away. if you happen to lock yourself out of your room you have no one to help as quests are not given a phone number to call in case of emergencies. To make matters worse, the room and bathroom were not cleaned on Sunday. The restaurant down in the basement called Thirteen at the Inn is excellent nevertheless. Dine here but don’t stay despite its old world charm.
