"The Loyalist has been beautifully renovated and modernized, is under new management and just reopened. I had friends stay at the Loyalist Inn two-bedroom apartment for 9 nights over the Christmas holidays. Everything about the stay was terrific! Easy self check-in, beautifully appointed apartment, brand new appliances, spotlessly clean, a little private courtyard, walking distance to everything in Shelburne and steps away from historic Dock street. I cannot stress enough how helpful and kind the managers were! This is a business with a heart!! Highly recommend!"
