    Great location in centre of Dufton. Very clean comfortable accomodation. Great cafe next door serving breakfasts, coffee, scones etc. Terrific pub accross the green with exceptional food, friendly welcome.
  • Melanie

    Loads of space and everywhere was done up to a really high standard. A lovely tea shop next door and the most incredible pub opposite (worth ringing in advance and booking as it was full every night!)
