Highly Recommended Staying here

Excellent accommodation a great place to stay. All staff were very friendly and personable. Couldn't do enough for you. I am Gluten Free and that was extremely well catered for. Something different off menu every night and excellent English Breakfasts and GF Corn Flakes. Couldn't ask for any better GF accommodation . Ideal location if you like the out doors and walking

Stay excellent marred by dogs allowed in dining ro

This hotel was excellent in terms of customer service, comfortable bed, tasty menu - dinner and breakfast. The chef made my husband a delicious cake for his birthday. We were surprised, and disappointed at the number of dogs allowed in the dining area. This would deter us rebooking for any future visit.

A warm friendly welcome and comfortable accommodation. Good food and service. Excellent base for seeing natural beauty in an unspoiled part of the country. They even arranged for some sun in the midst of this awful weather :)
