4/5 - Good
We had a walk in the community garden opposite the hotel which was lovely.

I booked a single room and was given a double which was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable with a good bathroom and shower. My evening meal of venison steak was well cooked and presented and was very good.

Superb low level and reasonably flat and varied walking for such as myself with mobility issues. Easily accessed from Boat by short drives. Makes access to the magnificent views possible.
Great little village shop just across the road from the hotel sells everything. If you’re on a walking holiday as we were, there’s a great walk to do directly from the hotel. I would recommend this hotel and area
