fine viewswarm unitgreat atmospherehelpful staff
The unit had fine views and was toasty warm. The restaurant atmosphere was great after cycles and walks. I liked the helpful staff and fires. The hotel's location provides access to the walks and cycles.
Some cupboards had locks, suggesting it belonged to someone else. This detail felt slightly odd.
