    friendly owners
    loud guest

    Bowness vibes 🌊🏞️

    Brekkie was top-notch, I mean seriously, the black pudding was a game-changer! And the owners are just so lekker, making us feel right at home. the mountain view from my room was just stunning, I could sit there all day!

    Only downside, had a bit of a loud guest during the night, but otherwise, all good!

    cozy lounge
    late check-in
    early checkout

    Comfy bed and cozy guest lounge with charm.

    I was disappointed by the late check-in time. it delayed our plans. The early checkout time was also quite inconvenient. we noticed a lack of USB chargers in the room, which made it frustrating since I had to buy an adapter during our stay.

    cramped space

    We stayed for a couple of nights, and while the room was super comfy and clean, it felt a bit cramped. Breakfast was a standout, especially those poached eggs!

    superb breakfast
    helpful hosts
    cozy café
    late check-in

    We had an amazing time during our group vacation! The hosts were super helpful with local tips. We loved exploring nearby hiking trails and visiting a cozy café for lunch. The breakfast choices were superb, and the homemade bread was a highlight. Everything felt tailored for us.

    The only downside was that the check-in time was a bit late, which cut into our plans on the first day. It would be nice to have a slightly earlier option.

    friendly service

    Couple looking for a lovely retreat

    We stayed for 2 nights and Rob's breakfasts were epic! One morning, he made a custom dish just for us—now, that's service!

    It wasn’t the least expensive stay, but the experience was totally worth it.

    very nice hosts

    Couple looking for a cozy getaway

    Clare and Rob were very nice hosts. Rob's breakfast was nothing short of extraordinary, especially the homemade porridge that had everyone singing its praises. The room was a cozy retreat after our days of exploring, with a beautiful mountain view that you couldn’t ignore.

    It wasn’t the cheapest stay, but worth every penny.
