About The Company

We are an independent, family-owned hotel with a story that started in the 1930s when Marie O'Sullivan, just fourteen years old, began working in her aunt's guesthouse (which she eventually bought and ran herself.)

That spirit of hard work, resourcefulness, and determination still guides everything we do today. Being family-owned means we can make decisions based on what is right—for our guests, our team, our environment, and our community—not just what is profitable.

We believe that true luxury is not about being flashy or formal. It is a much quieter, warmer, kinder thing. It is about creating a place where people feel genuinely welcome and cared for, and that starts with how we treat one another.
