We loved our stay at Moonglow. The view from our room was wonderful and was even better enjoyed from our balcony. It was nice having a french press and kettle waiting when I awoke, and the breakfast was excellent. Loved the soap, lotion, and room spray. Gillian was very friendly, kind, and accommodating. The wifi was too far from our room, so we couldn't use it. Not a vacation deal breaker, but keep this in mind if you are planning to do any work during your stay.
