The views of the sunset from the living area, which was very comfortable, were amazing, The beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were very clean. The breakfast was very good and generous, and set us up for a long day of travel. The location of the BnB on the north of Mainland was perfect for us. Would definitely recommend Viking's View.
