We took the cooking class (extra charge) with chef Marti on Sunday, and we made Scottish cottage pie, which was delicious. You not only get to cook, but chef Marti provides background information regarding Scotland. (Map, history, a couple short videos of movies about Scotland, regional dishes to Scotland, etc.) Chef Marti involves everyone in the cooking process. Once our cottage pie had baked in the oven, we sat around the kitchen table and had a bowl of pie, and a salad and bread. (Drinks also) Breakfast was served each morning at 9am, and was very good. Fresh fruit each morning, and yesterday we had oatmeal with apples, bacon, baked egg dish with red peppers, skillet potatoes with homemade ketchup, and really good toast made from some type of French bread. I added some strawberry jam on top, and it was delicious. Today we had homemade sausage with fennel, skillet potatoes, cream of wheat with cranberries, and croissant French toast. There were only 4 of us at breakfast, so there was a lot of food for everyone. I was stuffed...it was so good. Chef Marti, and his helper (Kim) go above and beyond, to make sure you have what you need. Relaxing on the front porch rockers was very nice each evening.

Normally I take a lot of pictures when I do a Yelp review. Unfortunately, this time, I did not. It…read moreis a good reason as well. I was too relaxed and focused on having a good time that the pictures faded away. Great conversation and great company. The owners are spectacular people. They made booking and checking in really easy. The rooms have everything that you can possibly think of. The add-ons were great. We ordered a bottle of wine and a caprece platter. It was perfect for sitting by the fire pit and listening to music. Breakfast.... oh my...... the owner can cook! Don't skip this perk if you can. The kitchen has coffee, tea, fresh baked cookies, popcorn, etc. that is accessible at all hours. Perfectly located between fine dining and outdoor activities. The beach is walkable in about 7-10 minutes. Walking back on a hot-humid day, uphill, you are going to sweat. Things that I would like to see in the future: - covers for patio furniture to keep it dry. All the cushions were wet when we went to sit by the fireplace. We made it work though. - room 2 - a better shower head to allow greater water flow. Water pressure is super-strong until you lift the switch to shift it to the shower head. Currently, it is okay and does the job. Would we stay here again? ABSOLUTELY Would we recommend to others? ABSOLUTELY

Very similar to shrimp and grits we have here in Louisiana. It was delightful! Coffee, hot tea, juices and peach infused water were all available and then there was this beautiful yogurt cream and fresh berries. If you left hungry it was your fault. If we ever get back into the area, my daughter and I will most definitely be visiting Morgan and Wells again! It was truly a treat and such a sweet atmosphere. I encourage you to go a little bit out-of-the-way and stay at Morgan and Wells.
