We had an amazing time staying at Black Gate!! Annette was easy to get in touch with and met us in town so we could follow her to the place. The location and views are incredible and there are lots of hiking paths for all levels all around the place! We were greeted by the young cows out back the first night and became fast friends. You will want to buy groceries before you get into town as the choice is limited as I had read in previous reviews. There are a couple of great places to eat nearby, The Old Creamery we visited a couple times and Arundels is worth checking out. The internet is spotty but the "getting away from it all" is worth it! I will miss waking up to those quiet country sounds and that gorgeous morning view!!
