"A quarter mile or so from the main drag, you enter an insulated idyll where it feels as if you’ve stepped back in time: the brisk sound of traffic is overtaken by the gentle roar of the sea, and a broad sweep of tidal estuary bordered by sand dunes encompasses almost the entire horizon. Opened earlier this summer after an extensive renovation, this 12-acre cottage resort has its history baked into the land and architecture: purchased as farmland in the 1930s, it was converted into guest cottages and run by the same family for three generations before Maine-based hotelier Tim Harrington bought it in 2023 and spent the off-season giving it a thorough overhaul." - Chloe Schama
