This community owned and run Inn is fantastic. The staff and locals are friendly and could not be more welcoming. The bedrooms are large and well appointed and quiet. The chefs do a great job producing excellent home cooked meals. The only thing to remember is that they don’t serve evening meals on Monday or Tuesday but as there are other places locally this was not an issue.
