This place is such an amazing treat. The fact that the owners are respecting its historical value while also allowing for comfort, coziness and quite frankly impressive. The Latch Inn is an amazing place to book if you have an event where people need to spend the night or you just want sometime away on your own or with a loved one. I stayed for the 1st time this winter on a gorgeous sunny day. We had the largest room overlooking the water with a private patio. The care and attention to detail again is something to praise, they may have taken over in 2020 but wow you can tell there is alot of love put into this stunner of a property. Breakfast is included and I highly recommend you do not miss out. Only note is if you're partial to strong coffee I would stick with the coffee service upstairs in the beautiful blue lounge area as opposed to the coffee served in the dining room. Check in and check out was a breeze it honestly hurt my heart to leave. I will definitely be booking for another visit. This time in the summer so I can take advantage of the beautiful garden and patio area. Thank you so much to the Latch Inn, you're all lovely and made my stay very special. - Laura .C

It was excellent in all ways except the fact that the room was freezing until it had a chance to warm up with the fireplace. The room where we had breakfast was also freezing cold and I had to wear my jacket. But the food was great and the place was lovely.

5 out of 5 stars for Latch Inn

Loved staying at Latch Inn. Very quaint. Breakfast was wonderful! Our hosts were great! The bed was comfy and we could open our window onto the covered balcony so our room was not too hot or too cool.

So close

The hotel itself was really cool and rustic. The hotel had a bit of an old house smell. Can't really describe it beyond old house smell. Our room however had a distinct smelly foot/sock or smelly dog smell. Keep in mind we were in a pet friendly room so maybe that was why? But the carpet was was very dirty looking and the whole room smelled pretty bad. We opened the windows to get some fresh air but the boat repair next door was running power tools literally all night. I woke up at 2am to some sort of sander/grinder noise. It has amazing potential to be a super romantic spot. The lounge is beautiful and cozy and the man hosting while we were there was so friendly and accommodating. I just had a hard time with the odor and the all night noise from the next door boat repair place.

The staff at The Latch provided individually prepared breakfasts with great service in a lovely dining room. It’s an interesting historic setting for any length stay. Having your own car will make staying at The Latch more convenient to enjoy the Island.

We were excited to stay at the Latch Inn. The staff gave us a warm welcome. The room was cozy, however the shower was old and shower needed a major repair. The shower almost flooded the place, because it was leaking water and the bathtub drain was broken. The bathtub is old and stained. The place also needs proper blackout curtains - there is a lot of light coming through the window. Great place otherwise if these things can be fixed.

We enjoyed our stay at the inn!! But in walking in the door the first time, the musky smell of the older facility almost took us a back. We actually considered canceling the rest of our reservation. I have allergies and asthma. But we were so exhausted when we arrived, we opted to stay. We had an excellent night’s sleep in the lovely Library Room. By the next morning we were both happy we had made the choice to stay there!!!

Breakfast was excellent . No other meals were available. A six oz glass of wine during happy hour was expensive . $15.99 . The house is very old but has lots of character. and well maintained . Service from the two staff members was excellent.
