Spent a very enjoyable and relaxing day and night at The Bentley. The host and proprietor, Glenn, as extremely pleasant and a joy to talk with, offering great local tips and a nice bit of history on the property and the town. Day passes to the beach (a short 2-block walk) were provided, as well as free use of bicycles. The beach at Bay Head (just down the way from Point Pleasant) is very nice - clean, and not overly-crowded.
The rooms are nicely appointed, and are themed with various names and design schemes, most of which are very quaint. Some rooms have private bath, some are shared. We toured the open rooms, all of them were clean and attractive and showed that great care and consideration went into the furnishings, decoration and overall design.
Our room (the Lisa Anne) opened up to the second floor wrap-around porch - a very inviting area with a nice breeze coming off the ocean - I'm not normally much of a porch person but I sat in one of the chairs and stayed for quite a while, it was so relaxing. If you're looking to chill-out or spend a calm afternoon reading this porch is perfect.
Breakfast was simple and delicious, with 5 entrée choices and two sides (bacon and sausage), with your choice of toast (which came buttered - I like that because the butter melts again the hot-out--of-the-toaster bread, rather than trying to butter it after it's brought to the table). I had the Chef's Choice Omelette, which on this day was mushrooms and cheese, it was delicious - and my girlfriend Teri had the Belgian Waffle, which she liked a lot. I also got to sample the Glenn's Country Oatmeal, which was prepared with raisins and chopped apples and ground cinnamon - very tasty!
I travel a lot, sometimes with Teri and sometimes alone, usually on business but plenty of leisure trips too. We split our stays between national chains (typically Hilton and Holiday Inn families) and Bed and Breakfasts. So I can can state from plenty of experience that The Bentley Inn is a wonderful B&B with lots of charm, personal amenities and plenty of attention to detail. Add to that good food and a super-nice host, close proximate to the beach and a beautiful late 1800s-era home setting and you've got one of the best B&Bs I can possibly recommend.
Room Tip: Ask for a room that opens to the 2nd floor balcony if you like fresh air and flowers and a nice bree...
