Amazing Stay !
Greg and Lauren are amazing, you can tell they really care about their inn & restaurant. Lauren's customer service from start to finish was great, Greg's knowledge on his food and drinks menu was great. The location was amazing, we had a view of the bay and could hear the crashing waves at night, which was so therapeutic. Only downside was because it was an abnormally hot day during our stay, things got a little hot in the rooms since there is not a/c, but otherwise things were great. Food at the restaurant is delicious, please make a reservation if you're staying here, you will not regret it. Would definitely recommend and stay here again if we're ever in the area.

I loved the Craignair Inn, and walking the trails on Clark Island. It was quiet once the group of very loud women left. The food was spectacular, as was my room, with water views out of all three windows. The owners, and all the staff were extremely friendly, and helpful. I would definitely go back!

We had the most wonderful stay here at the Craignair Inn. From the moment we arrived we were met with incredible hospitality. We had our dog with us and the Inn went above and beyond to make her stay wonderful as well. There were so many touches that made us all feel included, like the vegan food options, the little library of books, and the art on display! Truly a beautiful property and we can’t wait to return!

Hidden Gem: Craignair Inn and Restaurant
The Inn is truly a hidden gem. We only stayed 2 nights, wish we could have stayed much longer! Even though we are amidst pandemic, Greg and Lauren have done an amazing job to make you feel safe and welcomed. The property is well situated, short walk to what seemed like private beach/cove - lovely! The Inn is not fancy, but rather a throw back to earlier, simpler times - Greg prepared a bonfire for us In the evening while we chatted, sampled his hand-crafted cocktails (yum), and shared some laughs. Great gourmet breakfasts; however we missed the restaurant opening by a week :(( I would certainly stay at the Craignair again and look forward to sampling some of Lauren’s homemade ice cream next time! Thank-you!
