Great stay. Location is amazing. Staff warm and friendly, particularly Tom. Rooms need a bit of attention - finish esp ceiling in room isn't great and is easy to rectify. Food is very good and great atmosphere in pub and restaurant. We hope to be back.

Manager was super helpful and kind. He checked my tire pressure for me, gave me great directions for my hike, and let me check out a bit later as I wasn’t feeling well. Met his girlfriend the night before over dinner and she was very nice and also helpful with recommendations on my trip. Overall, great experience
