The King's Head

"Trying to review restaurant only as did not stay over Suited my friends as they enjoy the charm and tasteful decor - singer also which was a lovely surprise. Possibly the best we could have gotten in the area but feel I need to comment that even though the Sunday roast lamb was tasty and enough with 4 slices; the veg consisted of 3 half inch strips of spring cabbage and a tiny roasted carrot, tiny roasted parsnip and one or two small roast potatoes. The plate is stacked and 2/3 filled (not sure why the space is left on the plate ). Not sure what the aversion to vegetables is about- I did comment and ask for more but not allowed. The crumbles my friends had, they said were delicious. I’m bemused by the kebab pudding. The marshmallows, strawberries and brownies were skewered and on the plate base is a cold oatcake. Now my birth town is Stoke on Trent and this looked and tasted like a pottery oatcake. These are warmed or toasted and eaten with bacon or cheese- certainly not eaten cold 🤢😂- won’t harm you but not that pleasant. Possibly the chef isn’t able to make crepes 🤷‍♀️…..ask the master chef 24 who has his photo on the wall !"

New Crown Inn

"The full inclusive arrangement is only possible if you book directly, not via an intermediate. However, booking online does not present the full option. The best way seems to be to book by phone and make your wishes explicit. The hotel facilities are new and very pleasant. A good hotel in a tranquil location. "

Augill Castle

"Cracking boutique hotel, with lovely staff. This hotel has been rescued by its current owners after buying it as a wreck 20 years ago. It has been refurbished sympathetically to a very high standard. We went as a Motorhome stopover(which they can accommodate if they can, but only if they have space, and requires you to book). We had dinner and breakfast and although a limited menu what was available was excellent quality and very tasty. The breakfast was excellent value for money and came with superb service. This hidden gem deserves to be fuller."

Redstones Hotel

"We stayed here by chance. The original plan was to camp, but a forecast storm suggested a change of plans. The Redstones was right where we wanted to be, had a room on the same night and was a decent price. Everything looked good. Arriving at the hotel we were impressed by the quality of the finish (everything looking brand new -the hotel has been open almost a year). The bedroom was really comfortable and the bathroom spacious. Breakfast (cooked to order) was superb with good quality sausages, bacon, black pudding and haggis. Good coffee too. Would definitely recommend this place as a base for walking etc in this area. The building is an old youth hotel and still has a kit drying room."
