Excellent stay. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The owners were so lovely and their home cooked breakfast was delicious!
The property is central to everything and so many options near the property to eat! Rye beach is at the end of the road!
Although the weather was a mixed bag we absolutely loved our stay! Thank you boys!
We absolutely loved our stay and would gladly stay again!

The place is small but nice; the beach is large but gravel, not sand; the area is quite lively even if the street where the hotel is is quite quiet
