The tranquil surroundings.
Nice homely hotel, with a nice bar with very comfortable seating with a good choice of beers. Nice looking out at the distant view in the mornings with the snow covered hills and nearby properties it was nice getting out in the clean fresh air with very little traffic about.

Honest review
The hotel has beautiful grounds, the bar, restaurant and swimming facilities are very nice. Our room was basic but clean and the bed was comfy. We don’t pay extra for views as the room was only to sleep in. The service at the bar was a bit slow and the flooring in the corridors and our room was all very uneven….it was so noticeable when you were just walking around the room / corridor you were aware of sloping. Hotel was a bit old fashioned but stayed in plenty of other hotels in the area and they are similar. I would stay again as I thought it was good value for money for the area and getting the leisure facilities. Don’t let it put you off it being up a hill as it didn’t take long at all to walk in and back from the Main Street.

Great staff but needs updates.
Very friendly staff but hotel was older with taps that had hot on one side and cold on another. Water temp on the shower was variable and sometimes went from scalding to freezing cold in an instant. Made for an interesting adventure. We only stayed a night and probably would stay again if we were pressed for a hotel as the staff was very helpful and welcoming.
