Highly recommended

Away from the bustling city in a quiet setting, cosy and comfortable rooms with everything needed made us feel at home. The hosts were super nice and hospitable. The breakfast included had many varieties, we met and talked to people from different parts of the world.

Good breakfast, nice common areas, great view. Room plugs inconveniently located, overloaded and on a switch which if you don’t figure out leaves you with a dead phone in the morning.

Stayed here for 1 night in September. The property location is good, and the view is very nice. The building itself is a little dated but charming. The inn provided a hot breakfast which is always appreciated. Staff were super nice and friendly. Would stay here again.

A perfect view from the property

Driving into the property, we were very excited by the external appearance and the incredible view. The staff are nice and welcoming. The room was really disappointing- The bed was comfortable, but the furniture and bathroom were in great need of repair and updating. The way the room was organized was cramped crowded, and difficult to move around. There are few restaurants nearby and they generally closed by seven or 7:30 PM except for the restaurant at the Keltic Lodge which was a 10 to 15 minute drive from the property. It was an adequate stay in a beautiful location.
