Very cozy, friendly place. Nice to come home to a living room fire after a good day of walking. Beautiful location too.

All in all a nice homely and cosy atmosphere. staff was very lovely and helpful. Having a shower turned out difficult since the only shower was constantly blocked. Also the breakfast was not very filling and overpriced. I recommend to buy some stuff in town instead.

HI Stephan We charge £6.25 for a Full English. This includes choice of cereal, choice of juice, tea or coffee, sausage, bacon, egg, beans, hash brown, mushroom, tomato, beans plus toast with marmalade and jam. Most people find this a more than adequate breakfast and you will be hard pushed to find a similar offer at that price, never mind cheaper. We pride ourselves on good quality hand cooked food with locally produced ingredients that is not overpriced. I am sorry that your experience did not match up to this. I'm glad that other than showers which we are working to improve your stay was a good one. Regards Taylor
