The odd gnarled stone in the foreground is one of 4 ( now rather weathered) stone bears that once looked down from the four corners of nearby Dacre Castle. They can be found amongst the gravestones in the churchyard of St Andrews in this pretty village.

Clean and tidy hotel, very warm welcome at front reception. Lovely to be handed a proper door key rather than a digital keycard. Swimming pool small but clean and warm temperature and the hot tub was delightful. Great access to local pedestrianised shopping area.
