Enjoyed lunch on the porch. Beautiful view. Food was very tasty, our server was great. The salmon rice bowl, grilled shrimp salad, and fish tacos were all very good. Visited on July 2 and online reservation worked quickly. Be sure to walk around the area, there is a pretty walk way along the ocean.
Went for 50th anniversary dinner. Didn't have our reservation, that I booked on their web site, but gave us a great table. Wasn't too busy, luckily. Food was very good, not great and was reasonably priced. Wine list attributed champagnes as from Napa, even tho are French...a funny error...we'd go back.
Lovely property. This Inn has lovely antique architecture with modern conveniences. Enjoy your morning coffee by one of the two fireplaces or on the lovely deck/or sunroom with views of the beach. The inn has bicycles for your use-what a great place to bike and take on the views and beauty of Americas north east. Rooms are large and the bed was very comfortable. Staff is very friendly-coffee and tea in the afternoon and mornings served with some cookies and cakes. Breakfast was included-and a menu full of choices. Very enjoyable stay-only negative comment-could offer coffee in the evening as they remove the coffee and tea after 5:30 pm.
This place is absolutely beautiful. I work for another inn that belongs to the same owners and I felt I was treated really well. The building is incredible with a view to match. The staff were really helpful and pleasant and I would absolutely go back for a special occasion. The walk along the cliff side was breathtaking also and made my little photographer heart sing.
My husband and I went to the BPI to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We had such an amazing time exploring the grounds and the hotel, I especially loved the Widows Walk and learning the history. The room was lovely and view fantastic but the bed was heavenly! I loved having drinks and getting to sit on the front lawn to watch the sunset and then having a delicious dinner in the restaurant. Getting to go to the beach too was a huge plus too. Thank you for making us feel welcome and providing great service!!
Our stay at Black Point Inn was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and taken care of. The inn itself is full of charm and history, with stunning views that make it the perfect coastal getaway. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had all the little touches that made it feel special. Dining on the terrace was a highlight—the food was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. Between the gorgeous setting, warm hospitality, and relaxing atmosphere, I can’t recommend Black Point Inn enough. Perfect enough that we have returned three years in a row!
Was there for the wedding venue. Beautiful place with welcoming services. Foods were excellences from appetizer all the way to desserts. Servers were beautiful and full of energies. A bit isolated, but a piece of quiet and place to yourself. The weather a bit uncooperative, but thats mother nature.
Elizabeth was very greeting at the front desk and helped me obtain my room very quickly. Shawn assisted me with some very delicious local IPAs. Overall, it’s been a five-star hotel from start to finish and I will be returning soon!
