The area is also known for the range of outdoor pursuits on offer and there are a number of adventure centres nearby which offer the chance to have a go at climbing, canyoning and ghyll scrambling amongst other activities. Upon entering, guests will find themselves in a hallway from which a door leads into the impressive open plan sitting/ dining room: a stunning, light filled room with wooden floors, a contemporary style wood burner, plump sofas and Smart TV. A wide opening from the dining area leads through to the sleek, well equipped kitchen with AGA for year round warmth.
