I will be back!!!
Pros:

Such a beautiful space. The lush green surroundings are so peaceful.
The bed was so comfy.

Cons:

The exterior could do with a wash and mould removal - it would lift it so much!

Very serene surroundings and unique hotel. Would stay again.
Pros:

Very peaceful grounds and unique accommodation. Suited us for our overnight stay. Staff very friendly and breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

Could have had a more comfortable seating outside our room. Cushioning on chairs in room need more padding (aging I guess)

I highly recommend The Narrows Landing for a single night or several days. You won’t be disappointed.
Pros:

The facility and the grounds are lovely and the location is perfect (away from hustle and bustle, but close enough to get to things). The continental breakfast was very good. The staff were wonderful—-friendly and very helpful. The room was a very nice size, and had all the amenities we needed.

Cons:

The only minor downside is they did not have a restaurant for dinner. However, the staff was extremely helpful in recommending places to go—-several within a 3 minute drive, the rest about 15-17 minutes away. We went to one 3 minutes away and were very pleased.
