Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Great location that is very quiet and scenic. Very friendly staff with great service and food. Overall condition of hotel whilst clean and comfortable was a bit tired and in need of renovation.
Stayed for one night as it was close to Ben Hope. The room was old fashioned, but in a good way . Loved the tartan accessories and the big deep bath was an unexpected nice surprise . I would stay there again if I was going back to that part of the country

Very good staff and food. We were well looked after.
This is a remote spot with not many accommodation options and yet this is a very nice place to stay. Welcoming, good food and lots of very pleasant lounge space. Well equipped for cyclists too. Recommended.
Charming Hotel with very nicely appointed room. Very comfortable and quiet. Alan was particularly helpful with checking me in and providing a safe storage for my bicycle. I very much enjoyed my stay over during by cycling tour.
