Wonderful Wine Reception

I loved the good evening wine reception held at the Blue Heron restaurant. Having the chance to unwind with a complimentary glass of local wine in a cozy setting was the perfect way to end a day of exploration.

Staying at the Back Bay Inn was a delightful experience. The breathtaking views of the bay really made our visit memorable, and the room was spacious and comfortable, perfect for unwinding after our adventures. The wine reception each evening was a lovely touch to help guests relax. However, the breakfast options were a bit limited, which was a slight downside. Overall, it proved to be good value for the price, especially considering the location and amenities offered.

We had a wonderful time at the Back Bay Inn for our niece's wedding. The stunning views and beautifully maintained grounds truly made our stay memorable. The breakfast options were excellent, offering various tasty choices to start the day. However, the noise level in the rooms was quite noticeable, which could affect your overall comfort. Despite this, the accommodating staff made our experience enjoyable, and it's a great value for a lovely wedding venue.
