Monarch Cove Inn

Monarch Cove Inn

10/10 Excellent
"What can I say, this place is special. I have stayed twice now and feel so welcome and at home here. Katrina, the innkeeper, always goes above and beyond to make sure I’m comfortable and I love the quiet solitude of the grounds, while still close to the bustle of downtown. I come solo and enjoy every time. Will stay again!"
