“Tucked away in a quiet rural setting, this hotel's rooms genuinely surprise with their thoughtful comforts and the genuinely stunning mountain vistas. The real draw, however, is the welcoming atmosphere fostered by the owners, particularly evident in their exceptional vegetarian/vegan restaurant and the cozy, fire-lit bar that feels like a local gem. It's a place that understands the simple pleasures of a well-appointed room, a quiet escape, and good food, all within easy reach of Keswick.”
