Delicious Local Cuisine

I sampled the local food evening and was thoroughly impressed. The freshness and good flavors of the dishes showcased the best of local produce, particularly the home-baked Bakewell Tart, which was a highlight of my stay.

Really good Boot Room

The dedicated drying room for boots was a lifesaver after our muddy walks. With ample space for cleaning and drying gear, it made transitioning back into the hotel simple and tidy, which I truly appreciated.

The food was a highlight, being both wholesome and creatively presented. However, while the views were breathtaking, the building itself felt somewhat dated and could use some updates.
