Friars Bay Inn & Cottages

A simple, cosy and very clean hotel. The staff were warm and welcoming offering suggestions on what to see and where to eat. The bed was comfortable and the towels fluffy. The location was good close to all sites and across the road from a beach.

We stayed in Waterside Room B. The view from the waterside rooms is nothing short of wonderful; you are basically right on the water. Ideally, two of the same families/friends should book both the A and B rooms. Soundproofing between these two rooms is not great (we heard our neighbors with a small child pretty well, and I'm sure they heard us), and the awesome waterfront deck is shared, as in it being the exact same deck with no separation between rooms. However, if the owner's cottage next to the B room is not occupied, the B room occupants can use their deck (it wasn't occupied when we were there, so we had our own deck anyway). Other than that, this is a great place to stay. The kind staff was very helpful when I called a few times to change my dates. Decor in the room is very attractive and stylish, along with a nice bathroom with a roomy stand up shower (but please, upgrade the towels and throw away the paper thin ones you have now). They also, I think, recently added a great A/C system.

We spent a lovely night at Friars Bay in a cottage directly on the beach with a private deck. The queen beds were very comfortable and the kitchenette and bath were well-equipped. All the staff we interacted with were so friendly and easygoing. A real gem.
