    Nothing to fault.

    Very comfortable, well equipped apartment, in the grounds of a beautifully appointed Inn/restaurant. Views from the property are spectacular. High quality food that caters equally well for vegetarians and meat-eaters.

    Location. New local owners took over in January and the decor is very tasteful. Rooms in the annex were ideal and good value. Dinner and breakfast ( extra cost) were excellent.

    The studio was a little tired, bath panel needs to be refitted, kitchen cupboards were a little loose, and could have provided better utensils.

    We had a great little 2 night stay at Winyard's Gap Inn. A great location, fabulous views, good accommodation and food. Had everything we needed. Very comfortable.

    My only suggestion is coming up with a more inclusive breakfast option. With charges for all drinks and elements of breakfast it can end up being expensive just for breakfast. The food is great though.

    For visiting family the location is perfect and not far from coast either. We’ve stayed here a few times and every time the room has been clean and very comfy. The pub itself is lovely and food always great. Really lovely place to stay. Breakfast is great, freshly cooked.

    The staff were so helpful, welcoming and friendly, we were treated like kings during our stay. The food was very nice with a broad comforting menu and the rooms had a really lovely airy feel to them. And even though the weather outside was so grim and cold, we were toasty inside our cabin. A great night's sleep in a beautiful place.

    I loved this little cottage style property. It was a beautiful room airy with character throughout and bathroom was lovely with fluffy towels. The staff were exceptional. Friendly warm and welcoming. The stylish & character pub dinner was delicious with a modern menu. The location is peaceful and views are stunning.

    Some regulars in the restaurant bar area who clearly thought it was their right to shout to each other and have a very noisy banter with the one of the bar staff. We would have moved tables had one been spare. Did not like the ideas of paying for extras at breakfast eg to be charged for a second cup of coffee or toast and marmalade.

    Great location, easy parking , excellent accommodation and very good food in restaurant .

    Menu was unclear about Gluten Free options. The bar had loud music a lot of the time which made it difficult to talk and relax. Due to the loud music not being to our taste we ate elsewhere a couple of nights.

    Room was spacious and away from the bar. Dog friendly. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good. Plenty of parking.

    The shower was at best lukewarm but there was a bath with very hot water so it didn't matter. We didn't have any phone service or wifi in the studio but could access it outside.

    Very comfy bed, room had everything we needed and was beautifully presented.

    Only small thing I would say is breakfast at 8am is perfect for holiday but a little too late for me when staying for work , not an issue though as I had a self catering apartment, I will be back

    Location is beautiful, apartment was lovely and ideal for work or leisure, food was excellent, ate there every night. I will be back next month Only had breakfast on the last day, it was beautiful, hot fresh and delicious.

    The rooms were all big ( we had 3 as we had family with us), with large bathrooms, and king- sized beds. The restaurant had delicious food and the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. In addition, the view from outside Winyards Gap was stunning, and we enjoyed sitting in the sun looking at it with a glass of wine.
