wildlife wonderland!

i loved seeing the red squirrels during breakfast! the owners put out nuts and seeds, it was a delight to watch them. our room had a fantastic valley view, we even spotted deer from our window. they also offered a packed lunch, very cute and convenient for our hikes.
the nearest pub was a fifteen minute walk, a small inconvenience. but it was ok.

good breakfastsmall roomlack of soundproofing
The location was quiet and the breakfast was good.
I found some issues first the room felt quite small and cramped it was difficult to move around freely especially with luggage. there was a noticeable lack of soundproofing I could hear conversations and other noises from adjacent rooms and the hallway. This made it hard to relax and sleep well.

The location was peaceful. The room overlooked the garden. Red squirrels came to feed. The room was clean with a decent sized bathroom.
The guesthouse is not dog friendly. Our dog was attacked by a house dog. It was let into the dining area by mistake. The owners offered to refund the pet charge only.
