The staff and the food are excellent.... they make you feel like family.... the Food is home cooking at it's finest. Wonderful view of the bay. From the Inn to the restaurant, a very short and nice walk. The Inn is VERY clean and accesible to all the island has to offer.
The staff is very kind, welcoming and responsive. Our room was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Furnishings and decor seem recently updated. The view of the harbor is spectacular and the sunsets were gorgeous. We stayed for two nights and highly recommend.
This place is simply adorable! The location on the water is soo relaxing. The rooms are decorated so cute. It looked so coastal. The bed was super comfy, the pillows were great. My only complaint is I wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely stay again!
The staff was very friendly and the rooms clean and comfortable. The view of the bay was gorgeous! We highly recommend this inn and hope to return.
Very cute clean rooms, super nice people (guests and employees), and perfect location!! Absolutely recommend and would stay again!
This was our second time at this motel and we absolutely love it. Very clean, great location and the staff is very friendly. We will definitely be back.
So glad I found this place. My wife and I stayed two nights in this charming little inn just across from the water. Each room had two Adirondack chairs facing the Bay to enjoy the view. The sunsets were especially beautiful. The rooms seem to have been recently redone. They were very comfortable, though small. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. Campobello is such a wonderful, relaxing place.
Just stayed four nights at Friars Bay Inn and Cottages. Was great. The rooms are clean and neat but the best part of the stay was the staff. Jessie and Anna are warm,.friendly and very helpful. The island is good for nature lovers, hikers and those who are interested in the history of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Go and stay at Friers Bay Inn and Cottages
