We spent one night there. It’s in a quaint little village, close to excellent whisky distilleries. It’s a bit dated, but we actually felt it lent to the campy charm. The lighting was the only thing thing that drove me bonkers—too much led lighting. They should replace the crazy lighting with cool, antlers and lean into the campy vibe. Just my opinion. Food was good. Service was excellent. We enjoyed our stay.

The night manager and receptionist last Saturday night, Aug 31 were exceptionally helpful in providing us last minute accommodations when we ran out of gas late at night as we did not realize the gas stations closed at 10 pm! …
