Top Shelter Cove Hotel Reviews

Benbow Historic Inn

Benbow Historic Inn

8/10 Good
"Historic old Inn with plenty of charm in a great setting. Rooms and grounds were filled with history. Library filled with old books and dining room and bar were very nice as was the outside eating area. One downside to our stay was that a wedding was being held on the grounds and the dining staff was limited. As a result service to our table was virtually non existent and the food was not very good."
