The breakfast was fabulous, the rooms were incredible comfortable and the nature around the hotel is wonderful. We have a small dog, and had a great walk in the morning before breakfast. Also the dinner was perfect after a long day of walking and exploring. You could warm yourself next to the woodfire, with a refreshing cider and a happy and tired dog at your feet. Highly recommended.

The view of the inn is superb, the bus stops to the other villages is just across the road from the inn.The staff who checked us in was so helpful & kind ,I didn't get his name but he sweetly offered & carried our heavy bag up to the room. The breakfast was hot & good.Wish they increase the variety in the lunch & dinner menu.
