Can't say enough great things about this fabulous family run B&B, would give 6 stars out of five if I could. Wonderful comfortable bed, spacious rooms with powerful showers the view out of the window, which I've attached, is simply stunning. And that was all before breakfast, which was better than anything you could buy anywhere and prepared by somebody who cared. What a stunning location and what a wonderful place. We'll definitely look to come again.

Excellent stay overall in a beautiful setting. The only let down was the lack of any noise insulation between rooms.

Booking confirmed by Hotels.com but not by propert

Booked a room via Hotels.com only to realise that the booking notification has never reached to Antlers. We arrived at the property hoping to check in only to realise that they don’t have our booking. Not sure what happened there but we were left stranded.
