I found this accomodation after being let down by an online booking agency. Well. 'every cloud' as they say! Lovely location, very good accommodation and if you have kids, there's plenty to keep them occupied. The staff were very friendly. Highly recommended.

We turned up on the off chance we could get a bite to eat at the "Room at the Top" and were received warmly with a "yes". Great staff, nice meal, nice selection at the bar, superb location. Definitely recommended. I guess it might be best to book ahead in busy season.
