Duck Cove Inn

The patio has a great view, and it was quiet, so it worked well for an overnight stop on the Cabot Trail. The shower had strong pressure and the room came with all the useful travel bits. It was clean, though a little worn, and I had to straighten the sheets because they weren't properly on the bed. The desk clerk felt a bit off-putting, but was still helpful.

We ate breakfast at the inn even though it wasn't included, and it was clean, reasonably priced, and delicious. My Eggs Benedict and my partner's special #1 both came with real home-cut fried hash browns. I couldn't finish mine. Our room had a very comfortable, probably fairly new mattress. We bring our own pillows, but the ones there were good quality too. It had recently been updated, with a nice sliding door opening outside to chairs where we could sit and relax. No carpet, which I hate, and the bathroom and floors were super clean. The whole property was tidy and well maintained. It's right on the Cabot Trail and easy to find. The dining room's big windows look out over the water. The owner served us himself and was lovely. I'll definitely go back when family visit and want to do the Cabot Trail.

The photos really don't show how nice this place is. We were very happy with our stay, and it surpassed what we expected. Our clean room had a balcony with an amazing view, plus a microwave and fridge. There was ice in the lobby, and check-in was easy and accommodating.

The beds were so comfortable, the rooms spotless, and the bathrooms spacious. Everyone working there was really nice, and breakfast was very good with generous portions. I especially recommend the English muffin sandwich, it was delicious and filling. The location is perfect, close to a beautiful beach that seems made for watching the sunset.
