Amazing stay
Pros:

The hotel is in a very quiet and nice area. It has the restaurant/bar so that’s a plus, the food is really good there! The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were amazing, really helpful. He even provided a fan which he was using cause we told him that the room was a bit hot, we really appreciated that.

Cons:

Nothing in particular

Pros:

O restaurante serve boa comida. Funcionarios bastante prestaveis.

Cons:

O quarto apesar de limpo a cama nao e confortavel, nao tem ar condicionado o que o torna muito quente tivemos de dormir com a janela aberta. Tem um exaustor que trabalha quase a noite toda o que nao se consegue dormir com o barulho.

Friendly small hotel in a beautiful location.
Pros:

The staff are efficient and very friendly and helpful. Our shower head didn't work and was fixed immediately.
The garden and woods behind the hotel are lovely, and the Cataran Trail runs up the side of the hotel into some beautiful scenery.

Cons:

We asked for a quiet room at the back of the hotel and we wanted a walk-in shower. The hotel has 17 rooms and only ONE has a walk-in shower. (Room #3) It is at the front of the hotel facing the bins and the curve of the road. So it wasn't quiet, and the curtains were too thin the keep the daylight out at 4.00 AM. The mattress was old and had two dips from long-term use.
Breakfast is a la carte and there are lots of choices, but with two waitresses they can only manage a 3 or 4 tables at a time and you have to book a time or be prepared to wait.

Good location good food relaxing environment apart from the noisy plumbing.
Pros:

Location, comfort and dinner was good value for money and the best Cranachan I've ever had.

Cons:

Paying £5 for parking at an isolated country pub (where else was one to park) if I'd known before hand I wouldn't have booked...also the noisy water heating/plumbing needs looked at as it was pretty noisy in our room not nice late evening/early morning.
