Stunning surroundings

Comfortable enough and lovely location - great views. Could do with a sort-out of the crockery etc (eg too many side plates but no bread board and only one wine glass) and it's not for those who like good looks, quality or modern style. But it's decent value, good place for walks and, overall, does the job. Thank you

Facilities were good, although they could do with some sharper kitchen knives. Thank you!
