The Fairthorne Cottage B&B has sold and will not operate for the 2015 season. It joins a handful of other B&Bs that closed their doors this past year. We’ve been told the property at 115 Ocean Street will be used privately.

It is completely understandable for owners wanting to sell and retire or change directions. With B&B’s forced to collect 14% above what rates they charge- it makes operating a lodging business much more difficult. The new private owners could rent out the house, as a rental and not have to collect any tax at all, yet it has the same impact on city services etc. Perhaps it is time to start channeling my inner Larry Muentz .
Lovey people at the Fairthorne Cottage. They will be missed.
Sad to see The Fairthorne go. I loved biking past there and taking photos.
I stayed at the Fairthorne a couple of times. Recommended their lovely accomodations to everyone and anyone. I agree with John Cooke though, between the taxes and the fact it is a 247 business ,,, makes it tough on b&b owners
Good blog…

We stayed at the Fairthorne many times. Ed and Diane Hutchinson were wonderful people. This place was the creme de la creme … we will miss it so and miss them so.
