“Beautiful homely accommodation with a great restuarant attached.”
This lovely old style motel was unbelievable! We had a huge double room, with lounge, kitchenette and monster bathroom with spa bath as well as biggest shower on our trip! Dinner in pub restaurant which formed part of the complex was excellent- the biggest and best seared scallops ever! All staff were very welcoming and this was a great way to start our fall trip oif a lifetime. Thanks to all!

We always look forward to our stays there, especially dinner in the pub and sitting in Adirondack chairs alongside the stream afterwards, drinking wine from those plastic bathroom cups. Life gets no better than this. The rooms are good for the price but the rest is priceless.

The room was large, the front porch promoted dialogue with fellow travelers and the nearby stream was pleasant to listen to.
