Wonderful stay

Went to the Celtic festival in April, brought the dogs. They not only allowed pets, their price was right on point(others could take a lesson from the Blue Elk on this issue.). The room was roomy and comfortable and quiet.

It was a great place for our family of 6. The suite was a perfect little “apartment like” room. It had a small kitchen, 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms with plenty of space. The grounds were well kept and the breakfast was very good!
