The accommodation itself is within the main manor building (built in 18th century), which has a really nice ambience. The staff was excellent and really friendly. And the breakfast included everything needed for a long day in the wild (scrambled eggs, croissants, mueslis, juices, sandwiches etc).||||Loona manor is located smack in the middle of nature - within a short distance you'll find fields, thick forests, a shallow river and the sea. It is also relatively isolated from the rest of civilization, making it an ideal base for birdwatching or nature in general. We spent a week around Loona hunting for Silurian fossils, and during that time we saw hundreds of cranes, deers, boars, badgers, crayfish etc...||In addition, the manor is located next to a very decent information point about the local national park, where the staff again were great. For geology fans, the manor even has a little exhibit about the fossils you can find in Saaremaa ;)||||All in all, we were really happy with the place and recommend it to anyone travelling in the area, it's probably the best choice in the west of Saaremaa. We will definitely return...

We were a bit confused getting there, as Loona mois was signposted but our booking paper had a different word than mois, plus nobody appeared to be there when we called in. All became clear later - very few staff in September. Dinner has a limited menu but was tasty, breakfast also good. In terms of negatives, the sheets were too small for the bed (double rather than queen) and the shampoo/soap dispenser for both the sink and the shower was inside the bathroom door so it was hard to reach from the shower without traipsing across the room. All in all, though, the manor is a lovely spot and we found our time there...
Read moreFour of us stayed in the Naturehouse in the grounds of the Loona Manor in the first week of March. We opted for this arrangement as we wanted to come & go at odd hours (that's birder's for you!). Although it clearly had not been in use for several month's our accommodation was both warm & clean. There were 6 bunks on the ground floor & 4 beds upstairs, a shower room, two toilets & a small but adequate kitchen - perfect for us.||We ate dinner once in the house which was very good. Overall an excellent place to stay on the far west cost of Saaremaa & very handy for the bird-rich...
