This hotel, though small, holds a rustic grandeur that encourages a long happy stay. Though my own stay was short (only 2 nights), I was able to explore the lucious ground and glenway trail that is connected to the hotel. As well as the friendly and helpful staff. The bar and restaurant were superb. Accommodations were alightly dated but held a rustic charm.

We were disappointed that the Highland Cows had been moved and were not there. The views were lovely and the staff was super friendly and helpful. We had to drive to the town for dinner, but it wasn't too far and it was a nice little town with many dining choices. Our room was on the second floor and there was no elevator. Breakfast was delicious and very nice. There were nice rooms for visiting with other guests.
View from our room.
room had a nice seating area.
