Stayed 1 night. Staff very pleasant. Area beautiful and did briefly see one of the famous red squirrels. Seems to cater mainly for coach trips but they were well organised with this and it wasn't that impactful on us. Main eating area felt like a canteen. Room was reasonably comfortable

This Hotel building has soooo much character! It was a true delight and the staff were all so friendly and upbeat! Beth from the bar/dining room was especially fun with a great sense of humor! She made our stay even more enjoyable! Shebby (sp?), Waffi (sp?)) and Nevin (sp?)were also very fun and pleasant! We will never forget the wonderful three days that we spent here and can’t recommend this place enough!

Wonderful.

We love this hotel. The staff can’t do enough for you. The setting of the hotel is wonderful with many walks and the red squirrel sanctuary. The hotel is spotlessly clean. We will definitely go again.

We got to this property by chance. What a fun surprise. It is an old but very well kept inn. It has many beautiful hikes around. It is in the middle of nowhere. And that makes it even more fantastic.

Great for an overnight stay

This is a great hotel for an overnight stay.Our room was a little cramped and the decor was looking a bit tiredbut it was clean and comfortable. We booked our breakfast slot after the coach parties and there was not a lot left to eat. Check-in was excellent but staff could have been more attentive at breakfast time.

Very good service, room comfortable with a lovely Lounge and Bar with beautiful fittings and decor. An amazing lift and great ambience in the Dining Room. A delicious dinner and breakfast. A stunning after dinner walk in picturesque surroundings. Could do with an advertising board nearer the M6 as you are such a hidden gem!
