The creak of old floorboards and the smell of a proper cooked breakfast — this is the kind of place where thick stone walls keep the weather out and the welcome's genuinely warm.
Old Hall works for couples after a comfortable base, walkers who've earned a hot shower and a real bed, or anyone travelling with a dog who'd rather ask ahead than assume. The camping pods offer a middle ground if you want your own space without pitching canvas, while the guest house rooms give you the full B&B experience. It's open all year, so you can tuck in here whatever the season throws at you.
