“A traditional inn set on the eastern edge of the National Park. Cosy rooms are full of character with antiques & patterned wallpaper. An atmospheric restaurant, with exposed beams & a fireplace, serves good pub fare. They also have their own smokehouse and microbrewery. A charming rural hideaway. ”
