Sue & Michelle were both amazing, the couple housekeepers we saw were also amazing too! Breakfast was offered to be served daily to our room or to be served at the dining room, we chose our room. Surrounding areas were amazing the weather was great, only small thing was that if you’re there mid day when the temperatures get high there is no AC so it could get a bit warm, but if you just open up a window or balcony like we did and it cooled down instantly. The garden was amazing and the quails, birds, squirrels and bunnies were out and about eating each morning. At night if you get cold you can turn on the gas fireplace that is in your room or turn on the heater. The entire staff was friendly and really nice and accommodating. 5/5 would stay here again for sure my girlfriend and I loved it.

The Seal Cove Inn EXCEEDED my expectations, which were already very high from the other reviews. The service is amazing! A lovely breakfast is included, as well as an evening wine reception. The Inn is gorgeous, like a Pottery Barn catalog! The grounds are charming, with plenty of cute seating areas. And just steps away are amazing trails along the cliff where you can be in forest and yet along the ocean! I didn’t realize we were so close to tide pools! We’ll definitely be back! This place has many repeat guests.
