Cliff Lodge

Horrible It was the worse stay I have ever had!!!! I would strongly advice to close this place down. Totally u safe for anyone with a disability many stairs no bars in shower. No safe. No bottled water. My passport was stolen and a jacket. The bar for clothing could not be reached without a step stool.

Skip it I loved the classic charm of this old inn. We arrived late but key was left by prearrangement. Room was very clean and big but large area rug shown in picture no longer in room which made it look very sparse. Breakfast was very disappointing, Luke warm coffee, dried out muffins, stained cloth on sideboard, crumbs everywhere and we were the only two guests the whole weekend. During one breakfast we had to listen to an unseen employee talk very loudly on the phone the entire time.

Overall we were pleased with our stay. We came from mainland to enjoy the island without the overflow of tourism. As a New Englander I really want to make something clear based on prior reviews for those that come from Midwest or West or even the south: New England is old. If you are expecting modern amenities in a 1775 house, you might be reaching a bit. Older New england bnbs and hotels can only do so much in terms of updates. As the owner of a property from the 1700s, I understand firsthand the upkeep and expenses associated with keeping up the historical charm. Although there's only so much one can do with updates on older buildings like these, the cliff lodge can use some TLC here and there but I would expect any updates to be in April when tourist season resumes and they've had winter to do any updates. Rooms: We were in a smaller, albeit quaint room #10. We loved the lookout right next to us (deck) and appreciated having a private bath (note that some bnbs on top floors have shared baths). Beds were surprisingly comfy and staff turned down daily which was a nice surprise. Breakfast: I say this is more of a breakfast of convenience rather than a traditional bnb so do keep that in mind. Mostly bagels, pastries, coffee, oats. Juice---basics. Not a problem with me but some may want a full kitchen experience.
