The scent of old timber and woodsmoke hangs in the air as you step into this converted stable block, its thick stone walls holding the warmth of evenings past.
This is a spot for walkers and small groups who want a roof overhead without the fuss of canvas — shared bunkhouse sleeping plus a camping pod option for those after a bit more privacy. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one along. The location works well as a base camp for hikers, with year-round opening meaning you can dodge the worst of British weather when you need to.
Facilities are kept simple and honest — this isn't a hotel, it's a no-frills shelter with character. Campfires are allowed subject to checking in when you arrive, so there's still that proper camping feel if you want it. Expect a sociable, laid-back vibe where you'll likely swap route notes over a brew, then sleep soundly after a long day on the hills.
