Decided to stay two nights. Room was absolutely excellent and fresh, great bed, comfortable duvet and linens, lovely bathroom and a big room. Ice cream and food good and I loved the farm hotel concept where you can look at the cows when eating. I’m not a city girl and not unfamiliar with farm life, but still loved it. Location is quite perfect.

Comfortable and very clean motel that was conveniently located on Golden Circle. The kids loved eating ice cream while watching the dairy cows. The hotel staff was very friendly. Annie was a great resource and happily helped us out when needed.
