Lovely Historical Hotel
Wonderful property with great history. Our room was lovely with a view of the water and balcony. The furniture needed help as our bureau drawers stuck. And lack of AC was challenging at times. We loved the coffee and muffins in the morning and welcome glass of bubbly. A memorable place.

I love the Colony we have been going for years. But we were a little disappointed with the cleanliness of the room and while our stay no one cleaned our room and brought clean towels.

Everything was very nice. My only surprise was not having a TV in our room. Not a big issue. The grounds are lovely and the views, amazing.
We want to book again soon.

Stayed for 4 nights plus an extra when our flight was canceled. The staff has been amazing and extremely accommodating. Even in off season, the Coveside Market has everything you need. And very dog friendly!

Off season the main hotel is not open, so guests stay in the smaller buildings.
It was clean and nicely appointed.
It’s more like staying at a nice motel.
