Delicious Breakfasts

I had the most good breakfasts at South Shire Inn! Each day, I was served freshly made frittatas, perfectly suited to my preference for protein over sweet options. The dining room was beautifully set, making each meal feel special. It truly set the tone for wonderful mornings during my stay.

Charming Accommodations

I stayed in the Jim Dandy room, which was both spacious and beautifully appointed. The cozy fireplace added warmth, and the jetted tub was perfect for unwinding after a long day. The attention to detail in the decor truly made it feel like a luxurious getaway.

The hotel provided a wonderful experience with its clean and comfortable accommodations and super friendly service. The location was just perfect, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. However, I found the dining options a bit limited, particularly at breakfast where I'd hoped for more variety. Overall, the price was decent, but I did think the Wi-Fi charge was an unnecessary extra cost.
