    I thought it was new based on the condition and upkeep! Turns out it was 8 yrs old! Great job taking good care of property! Staff was very friendly and helpful. My wife and I loved Laura's positivity and spunk! Great value and so close to the Abbey!

    The location north a bit from the Iona Abbey was wonderful. Hopefully I'll get to come back one day for longer. It's the perfect place to relax and forget that the rest of the world exists for a while.
