What guests say
8.2 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 372 guest reviews
The Gilbert Inn wins consistent praise for its unbeatable beach-adjacent location, historic character, and cleanliness, making it a charming alternative to generic hotels. However, recurring complaints about a disappointing breakfast, noise transmission between rooms, broken or roped-off furniture, and deferred maintenance suggest the property is not fully living up to its boutique inn pricing. Guests who prioritise atmosphere and location over polished amenities are likely to enjoy it most.
