Reviews
Dinner and breakfast are served in the reception house. We had already eaten dinner but breakfast was really nice. Meats, cheeses, breads and jams. Quiet lovely. There is also a small bar in reception so yiu can have a nice glass of wine or cocktail.
We also loved watching the sheep and goats!
Great location right off the main road. About 23 kms from Vik
Breakfast was pretty decent—think bread, cold cuts, cereal, boiled eggs and fruit rather than hot food. You can still have a filling meal, though.
Staff was friendly and happy to talk to us about the animals on the premises. It was a welcoming, peaceful atmosphere. This guesthouse is a satisfactory accommodation option.
Breakfast is decent and delicious
