Something quite different - an entirely informal hotel, with the atmosphere of a house party - the hosts being the owners, Morag and Kevin and their 3 children. Delicious meals are provided, you help yourself to drinks and coffee, children have lots to do and their own meal times. Morag and Kevin take care of everything for you - from making your breakfast, to planning your sightseeing, to taking you to the doctor if you need it. It's a beautiful place to spend a break both relaxing and enjoying being with your child/ren. It has all the benefits of self catering without the stress of the actual catering, and all the benefits of a hotel without the formality. |
