The young man running the Three Shires is a credit to you. Hard working and still polite with a sense of humour.

The heating & hot water was not working when we arrived. There was no customer support from the staff. An electric radiator could have been put in the room to preheat it and courtesy tea/coffee provided as it was cold and snow forecast. We felt there should have been someone experienced managing the situation. Therefore we decided to cancel annd leave after waiting for three hours.

Room was spotless and very spacious. Bathroom modern and shower worked great. Plenty of walking routes from the hotel and a warm welcoming log fire to return to after a good days walking. Food was very well presented and tasty. Special mention to the lovely staff, very pleasant and nothing too much trouble.

I had a lovely stay at The Three Shires Inn which is in the lovely, quiet spot in the middle of the countryside. Loved seeing the mountains and sheep. I would highly recommend.
