This property is excellent but it is very remote. A car is essential to travel over very narrow roads to get anywhere.

Newly refurbished hotel. We stayed in a standard double which was nicely appointed . The bed however was very bouncy and the floorboards creaky. The walls are thin as I could hear the person in the next room snoring. The food was of a high standard both for dinner and breakfast. I would recommend staying but would book a twin next time

Really Lovely, very short stay for us. Stay was perfect Area is serene and beautiful however just felt a little isolated and hardly any lighting on the streets making it a little unsafe when driving in the dark. Although was perfect location for the hike we wanted to join in the morning.

We were welcomed by Gary who was very attentive & worked very hard throughout our stay. We were upgraded to a beautiful room which was a nice surprise. Food was excellent & overall we had a very comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend.

Thus us the second time in the past five years that my family and I have booked a multi-day stay at the Three Shires Inn. This time, again, we were enormously pleased with our visit. The amenities, the food, the location, and particularly the staff were all first-rate. As was the weather, surprisingly. Only the traffic on the narrow roads was a challenge.

Friendly staff, good food, lovely clean room, nice outdoor seating area to enjoy the beautiful views. We never had a problem parking but space is limited. You need a car to drive to other locations or be extremely fit! The rooms are up a relatively steep staircase so enquire if you have mobility issues.
