Situated in Evershot, 27 km from Golden Cap, The Acorn Inn features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a bowling alley. The property is non-smoking and is set 44 km from Monkey World. It was so charming and cozy! There was a wedding reception on so we didn’t get to spend time in the main bar but did really enjoy the grounds (sitting in the garden with a gin—☺️, the lounge was adorable and a cozy place to read for a while, the dining room wonderful). The decor was so sweet; the room (suite) was well appointed and very comfortable! The food was also just fabulous, especially considering my friend was vegetarian—she loved it as well. The best part were the staff though who were all just amazing. Friendly, sociable, super helpful and kind!
