We were pleasantly surprised by this little gem of a hotel. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the hotel had clean and inviting rooms with wonderful views. We especially loved the fact that they allowed dogs and had a walking room to dry off after walks in the fells. The location was great, not far from a beautiful waterfall, and there was even free parking available. The breakfast was included in the price and there was free WiFi, making our stay even more enjoyable.
Don't have any issues at all.
