“My stay revealed exceptionally comfortable shepherd's huts, particularly well-insulated and warmed by a log fire and thermostatic heating, making them an excellent base for exploring the wider area. The welcoming staff consistently went above and beyond, notably with thoughtfully prepared early morning breakfast provisions when departure was unavoidable. Dining at the community pub proved a highlight, serving surprisingly excellent meals, including a standout vegetarian burger.”
