The click of the latch on a proper guesthouse door, the smell of breakfast drifting upstairs, the quiet of a place that's open when most campsites have battened down for winter.

The Red House offers both traditional guesthouse rooms and camping pods, so you've got options whether you're after a proper bed or something closer to sleeping out. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, and it's the sort of place that works for couples after a cosy base or anyone walking long-distance routes who fancies a roof but not a full hotel. Year-round opening means you can plan trips in the shoulder seasons without the usual "sorry, we're closed" disappointment.

Campfires are worth checking about when you arrive — policies can shift with the weather. Facilities aren't shouted about, but that's often the sign of a straightforward, unfussy setup. Expect a warm welcome, a bit of flexibility, and the kind of place that feels more like staying with someone who knows the area than ticking into a corporate chain. Quiet, honest, reliably open.
