Front desk was good. The bathroom could have been cleaner. Eco friendly, since you are in a dark sky designation you should have lights that don’t shine up.

The Glenghorm is very tired and only a shadow of its former self. Our bed was literally about 30 years old and very hard and there was almost no water pressure. This was discussed with staff with no resolution. Breakfast is not included and costs $15 per person. Regrettably this was as disappointing as the room. The selection was very poor and we literally had to make our own pot of coffee in order to have coffee ;-( Yikes Sorry folks, this is a thumbs down after paying $209 for a night.

What a hidden gem. Our room was very clean and comfortable. A short walk to the beach. The dining was incredible. I had the best seafood platter ever! It was loaded with mussels with huge scallops and shrimp. The pasta was full of delicious smaller scallops and shrimp. Incredible! My wife enjoyed her haddock dinner. After supper we went downstairs to the bar and enjoyed live music. We would certainly go back again!
