Loved our stay at The Skitterland Guest House. We went to Sutherland with a group of 9 for a friends birthday. Perfect place to stay. Great breakfast, the host went the extra mile to make our stay very enjoyable.

Our stay was very pleasant and, remembering where you are, it met our expectations. The hostess is very friendly and helpful, as well as a very good ambassador for the town of Sutherland. By the way, her breakfast is super!

Not having water during the day was a bit of an isuue but the reason for this was well explained and a backup plan is in place!

The guesthouse, the food, the stars, the planetarium. No litter, no beggars and no starving stray dogs walking around.
