We stayed in the Coniston room for the weekend, it was perfectly clean and the bathroom is stunning. The owners are helpful and friendly, home-made cakes were a lovely on arrival.

First, let me start off with a wee anecdote to demonstrate the true consideration of the Archway's owners: my wife and I arrived late on a Friday night and were met by both owners, Stephen and Jennifer. While Jennifer welcomed us and supplied us with local insider information for travel, as well as providing us with invaluable maps and transport... More
