Stayed there 1 night. Great room, slept like a stone. The owner was very helpful and service oriented. Was there on a Monday so unfortunately didn’t get to try the restaurant.

Ate at the restraunt booked around 6 months in advance with a room above. We stayed one night on a 2 week trip through Ireland and Scotland. The food was absolutely superb, the Scallops and Salmon was to die for and the Venison was one of the best I have ever had. The service was above and beyond and very attentive. The room was clean with a great view with basic necessities which was nice. We will be coming back through here when we visit again.

One of our favorite dining experiences.  The food was amazing and the wine excellent, but the service and atmosphere made it a dining memory.  We hope to return someday.  Outstanding!
