History

First constructed in 1896, Bayview was modified to join the next-door house and then in 1970 it started to be a hotel. Irene and Andrew McGregor bought the place in 1995 and since then have continuously restored the hotel to make it so lovely as it stands today. During winter the hotel closed so that refurbishment of our 6, 2nd floor room could be began in full swing. We have completed the process and the outcome is that these are now the most modern rooms one can imagine. We would love to have new guest come over and stay while we would love to meet old friends again.

We as proprietors are easily assessable and have customer service as a priority. All our decisions are surrounded with guests' happiness being the focal point.
