Unexpected gem. The hotel room was pretty small and unremarkable, but it was clean and comfortable. I got the best night's sleep of my trip so far. The surprise was the church museum on the grounds and the extensive history of this location going back 1000 years. Fascinating.

Hotel to Ourselves
The hotel is very remote, but quite comfortable. It has a meandering floor plan with a couple cozy common rooms. No TV in the bedroom, but there was one in the common room that got a few channels. We felt like we had the hotel to ourselves, because for the most part we did. Because the hotel is so remote, we had dinner at the hotel restaurant. The ambience there was wonderful, but dinner was pricey!

The staff was super friendly, centrally located for the golden circle, clean simple rooms, shower with great water pressure, and the dinner we had there was fantastic (but it's only on weekends during the off season). Perfect for our trip going to places around the golden circle area.
