Frommer's Review

Standing strong at the edge of the sea, The Bervie seems to cradle you protectively within its sturdy walls. Once a coast guard station, the whitewashed building has been a hotel for two generations. Owner Elizabeth Barrett was born and raised here, where her mother ran a guesthouse for decades. A few years back, Elizabeth and her husband, John, took over and upgraded the building and made it into what it is today -- a snug, relaxing, attractive place to stay. Many rooms have views of the sea (it's just a few feet away), and all are decorated in soothing tones with distinctive, locally made furniture and art. The large, relaxing lounge is filled with tastefully appointed chairs and sofas and is heated by an open fireplace. The sunny breakfast room has dramatic views of the sea and the cliffs across the bay. Breakfasts are out of this world, including homemade cereals, Elizabeth's delectable jams, and a variety of egg options, including light and fluffy scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. Excellent dinners are also available if you book in advance.

Facilities:
Nonsmoking rooms; drawing room
