Very nice and quiet place to just relax and take it easy. Wonderful pillows. In my opinion number 1 mansion in Estonia

We loved our stay at Vihula manor. We stayed at a zen suite. Our room was really cozy and private which was perfect for a romantic vacation. The surroundings on the estate are beatiful. We stayed only for one night and during winter, but we would definitely want to go back during summer and stay for longer, because it looks like they have a lot of activity oportunities, for example discgolf and spa which we didn't have time to use. Restaraunt was great, my best experience of all hotel visitations in Estonia. Food looked and tasted amazing. Breakfast food selection for ditterent items was not very big like in bigger hotels but there was no need for it because everything in the selection was with good quality and very inviting. Staff was very friendly and attentive towards our needs.

A very beautiful area, consisted of many old, nicely renovated buildings and huge terrain around, very well preserved too. Even a 1,5 kms hiking trail on the premises...! Everything situated only about 4-5 kms from the sea and great, sandy beach with big stones. The hotel is very nice, but what we liked most was the really exceptional breakfast with a great choice (eg. 8 types of herrings!; fresh fruits, many yoghurts, apart from all the usually served things like ham, cheese, eggs, sausages, cereals etc.). Steam sauna and pool free of charge. Other saunas and spa treatments additionally paid. Great to be there (especially if you catch some good promotion!, as the regular price are rather high), even if some can say it all seems to be a bit snobbish...

The scenery is amazing and the staff is friendly. But, the broken door on our bathroom didn't get fixed during our four day stay. Breakfast is offered from 8-10, but they stop replenishing the servings at around 9:15.

Broch of Gurness

The Broch of Gurness is an Iron Age broch village. Settlement here began sometime between 500 and 200 BC. At the centre of the settlement is a stone tower or broch, which once probably reached a height of around 10 metres. Its interior is divided into sections by upright slabs. The tower features two skins of drystone walls, with stone-floored galleries in between. These are accessed by steps. Stone ledges suggest that there was once an upper storey with a timber floor. The roof would have been thatched, surrounded by a wall walk linked by stairs to the ground floor. The broch features two hearths and a subterranean stone cistern with steps leading down into it. It is thought to have some religious significance, relating to an Iron Age cult of the underground.

The remains of the central tower are up to 3.6 metres high, and the stone walls are up to 4.1 metres thick.
