Pros:

It suited us for our walking holiday. Food at the pub was good although a little on the expensive side. Hosts were very helpful and nice.

Cons:

The cost of the food and soft drinks added to the cost of the room but I guess in a small location you have to be thankful for the availability of the meals.

I couldn’t find any faults.
