Very nice Food Experience

“During my stay at Sliding Rock Inn, I was blown away by the dining experience. The evening menu featured good dishes, and I must say, the Louisiana wings with blue cheese dip were the best I've ever had. My friend ordered the salmon, and she said it melted in her mouth. We couldn't resist coming back for more each night!” view full review

Cozy and Clean Room

“Our room at Sliding Rock Inn was small but spotlessly clean, which made for a pleasant stay. For a place just to relax and sleep, it was perfect. The daily service included fresh towels and tea and coffee top-ups, which added a nice touch to our experience.” view full review

Daily Comforts

“I loved that our room had modern amenities such as tea and coffee making facilities. It made for a comfortable and convenient stay. Even though the room was tiny, it certainly served its purpose well, and I appreciated the attention to detail regarding cleanliness and setup.” view full review

Great Pub Vibe

“The live music in the bar on Saturday night was an absolute highlight of our visit! It created a vibrant atmosphere that was fun and engaging. We even received shout-outs from the musicians, making us feel right at home. It was a fantastic way to unwind after exploring.” view full review
