“Nestled within sweeping dales views, this inn truly understands comfort, from rooms that invite a peaceful rest to a superb breakfast that sets the day right. The kitchen turns out beautifully executed dishes, particularly a deeply flavourful steak and ale pie, while the attentive staff make every interaction a warm one, even extending that hospitality to canine companions with their own menu. Wandering the grounds, which include a nature reserve, feels like stepping into a landscape painting brought to life, a perfect counterpoint to the cozy, memorabilia-filled interior.”
