    Cozy log fires set a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for winding down after a long day. Breakfast options stood out, cooked to order and offering a nice variety, making for a solid start to the day.

    The location can feel quite isolated, especially for those seeking additional amenities or options beyond the immediate hotel. Some rooms overlook a busy road, so be prepared for potential noise if that's your situation. wardrobe space seemed cramped, with a lack of personal areas like a dressing table, which might be inconvenient for some travelers.

    I had a delightful stay at High Force, where the staff's warmth shone through. The cozy atmosphere made it easy to relax after my day of exploring the stunning natural surroundings, particularly the nearby waterfall. The breakfast offered a nice variety, though a bit of a wait for food occurred during peak times.

    The small double room was snug but worked well for our one-night stay. The décor was really lovely and felt high-end. The en suite bathroom was surprisingly spacious and super clean. The toiletries were nice. It was a cozy space that made us feel comfortable, even if it was a bit on the smaller side. Nice touches overall!

    We enjoyed a warm and inviting atmosphere with great food. The veggies stood out, though a little more meat in the dishes would enhance the dining experience. A dog-friendly environment made our stay enjoyable. Future guests should look for the dog-friendly areas, a real bonus!

    Staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, contributing positively to the overall experience. The evening meal was fantastic, and breakfast followed suit with delicious dishes. The room was cosy and well-kept, with comfortable bedding and an immaculate ensuite. there was a bit of a wait for service during dinner, and the decor felt slightly dated in some areas.
