    I loved every minute of my stay here. Like others I didn’t want to leave and stayed until the very last minute! The hut and surrounding areas are beautiful. I made sure I came back early evenings to enjoy my dinner and glass of wine in the peace and tranquility whilst enjoying the views.

    I liked the cozy atmosphere of the Victoria Inn, the friendliness of the staff. My bed was very comfortable and the room including the bathroom was very clean. I really appreciated that I was provided two bottles of water everyday free of charge, as well as a selection of tea bags and coffee-

    The staff who were from another inn to cover were fabulous. They worked really hard supporting the guests needs as best they could. Evening meal choices limited. However, what was ordered was fresh and well presented.
