Beautiful Setting

Very happy with the location and the buildings although seemed slightly run down overall. Kind of evoked entering another era. Innkeeper was sweet and a multitasker. Our bathroom seemed outdated, some simple changes like a new shower curtain and nicer place to store toiletries would've been simple. Electrical outlet in the bathroom did not work.

Monarch Cove was in-itself nice for a short get-away. The staff was super-welcoming and friendly, but the other guests left me not having the greatest experience. The people in the room above us played bass music for hours, then had a raging "f-you" fight. Sadly, they ruined my trip to a nice b&b. I was looking forward to sleeping with the windows open to hear the outside, but not-to-be. I had to run the bathroom fan most of the night just to get peace. :(

Charming with a great view, but tired.

Our room had an incredible view& the staff was great. And the property has charm, but tired. The shower had little headroom (hubby's over 6') & insufficient plugs. I had an extension cord for electronics to charge & multi-plug for the bathroom which was necessary to get the existing hair dryer plugged in. Breakfast delivered to the room was fruit & pastries (no GF option).

The front desk was a welcoming experience, with a small tour of property and story behind the owners. If you are looking for an old school seaside getaway, look no further. Our room had a few cracks in the windows, contributing to the nights chill, but the blankets and heater were strong enough to keep us warm. Breakfast brought to the room was a nice simple touch.
