The place is amazing and views spectacular- lots of space for 8 adults. Each room was comfortable with adjoining bathrooms or ones close by.The upstairs room with a fireplace was relaxing as you took in the scenery in front of you.Easy walk to the local pub - which was also friendly and welcoming.Outside areas are lovely with lots of different areas to just sit and enjoy the place.
