The hotel is charming and the staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. The night stands were tiny as was the shower but the room was clean and the location was perfect for us to explore the Golden Circle. We enjoyed a delicious meal at the restaurant, followed by yummy ice cream made right there on the farm. Agritourism at its finest!

10/10 Exceptional

The room was very nice and well-maintained. Gorgeous view. The shower was good. The breakfast was simple compared to other guesthouse breakfasts I had on my trip; however, it featured whey protein which was a fun inclusion! The ice cream bar was nice. Eating in front of the cows was a funny experience. The hot tub was not in any shape to be used when we were there. There was no lighting to see in at night and, when illuminated it was an unpleasant greenish color. When we drove up, the first thing we heard when we got out of the car was the sound of cows moo-ing. That never got less exciting. It was a nice place,

This was a great overnight stay on the Golden Circle. Our girls were able to relax and play, which was a nice break after a day of driving. The restaurant had great food with a local menu. We also enjoyed seeing the cows up close and enjoying some ice cream.

What an amazing place to stay. Perfect location, friendly staff, amazing food and comfortable beds. We also went on a horseback ride to a nearby waterfall that was AMAZING. I can't say enough good things about this place. We would return in a heart beat. Oh and they have an amazing trampoline for kids to bounce on.
