Spent a night here. The proprietor was simply wonderful! Very helpful and super friendly. The room itself was a bit dated but served its purpose. Room 27 sort of reminded of a cottage! Only complaint is the heating. Once under covers, I was fine! I went down to the diner later in the evening and was able get what I wanted!Highly recommend this place…a bit pricey but the service was absolutely fantastic!

Staff were nice enough but the room was cold and dark with poor lighting and very thin walls where you could hear people talking and walking around in the room next door very clearly. …

Just called in having stopped for a quick drink. We were staggered at the cost of 2 slices of cake, a cup of tea and a can of pale ale - £16. …

What a lovely stay! When we had difficulty with the arrangements our travel agent made, the staff went above and beyond to help us sort it out. Rooms had fresh paint and wallpaper. The shower was fantastic after a long day of walking.

Lovely place with great location, can park next to the lodge. Friendly staff. The interior is rustic. It’s obviously not the Hilton style but if you like nature and countryside, this is for you. Fish and chips at the cafe is great.

We stayed here for a long weekend and had a much better experience than other people who have left reviews. We stayed in room 14 and everything felt brand new (may have been done recently.) …

The room was so damp the windows were covered in condensation. It also strongly smelt of bleach. Asked for a room change and was told i could only upgrade my room for £197.00 extra.

When we arrived at reception for check-in there was no one but a sign that said to go to the Cafe for staff, it took a while but we got our key eventually. Staff were very friendly and loved our dog. This place is very dog friendly.One of the bigger down sides is that in lots of places behind higher fences look like a dumpster, with all sorts of trash.
