The breakfast menu was cooked to order and a great choice. The staff are wonderful and work hard, nothing is too much trouble. We stayed in the Lundy room which was well equipped, and a decent size, plenty of storage. We would definitely stay again.

we were in a room just off the main inn & we thought it was just newly renovated & to our surprise found out the renos were years old. A GREAT location, welcoming staff & awesome food,, only complaint would be Storm Amy, with here 80 - 100mph winds, which apparently staff have no control over - HAHA
