The location is beautiful and the view from the room was uninterrupted of the bay water. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only “disappointment” was the dinner dining. I was expecting something more elegant and special considering the cost of the rooms. We chose to eat outside- it was a gorgeous summer evening- and we had to order at the bar, get a buzzer and then go and pick up our food. If we had chosen to eat inside we would’ve still had to order at the bar but they would have brought the food to our table. The dining room inside didn’t have a great vibe or elegant feel to it that’s why we opted for outside.

The historic Seahorse Inn was a good stop on our road trip. We'd expected lodging and dining that was a bit more upscale for the price, but it was more than adequate and the location with an extensive beach is excellent. Note that upstairs room have no soundproofing, so you'll hear people in the restaurant and bar below at the back amd people in the lobby at the front until later in the evening.

Great location and facilities. However, while most of the staff were lovely, a guy called Shannon must have awards for being passive aggressive. All smiles and unpleasantness combined.

We enjoyed our stay at Seahorse Inn!! We actually didn't want to leave! Our room was a lot bigger than expected and sooo comfortable. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The dining area was nice and the food delicious!! The grounds are very pleasant to stroll around too. Thankyou for the great stay!!

A nice hotel in beautiful surroundings and stunning views over Two Fold Bay. Easy check in and a pretty room...we had room 7 in the hotel....lovely but quite small. The room and bathroom was all nice and clean. Our evening meal was tasty, friendly enough staff and a nice glass of wine in the bar/lounge area. The continental breakfast is served in your room which we found a little odd as there is a lovely dining area in the hotel. We decided to eat it on the balcony as there was a table and chairs out there so we could enjoy the beautiful views though the balcony area could do with a bit of work and a good clean. Apart from that we had a good night at The Seahorse Inn and Villas.
