Fantastic stop on the coast to coast. Delightful night in the “Herdy Hut” outside which was very cute. Special guest appearance by a red squirrel on the balcony as well. Nice hosts, fantastic location. Most insane honesty bar I’ve ever seen!! Must have been 25 different whiskies alone. Would definitely stay again.

Dave was so welcoming and informative.|We felt so comfortable staying there. The outdoor bar was amazing. The “honour “ bar was a great way to unwind at night and catch up with other travellers who were also doing the C2C. I would highly recommend staying there

What a wonderful retreat - the most fabulous hosts - a house with warm living rooms, full bars, and fireplaces. We could easily stay here for a week, but as we are walking the Coast to Coast, one night is all we got. But we are so rejuvenated and energized from the hospitality and full services provided.
