Gorgeous Stay
Absolutely gorgeous stay at Rum Doodle. Staff couldn’t have been nicer, felt welcomed from the moment they met us at the door. The room was decorated beautifully, exactly what we needed for a few days away. All sorts of amenities and extras - the breakfast options were vast and really tasty. The only thing worth mentioning is parking is up a very tight small hill and when there is a lot of cars in it does get a little difficult. Nothing that would stop us from making a return though. Will absolutely be booking again in future. Thank you for a thoroughly lovely stay!

The Rum Doodle was in a great location with easy private parking. The hosts made me feel welcome and the room was exactly as shown. Great breakfast menu and they made a packed breakfast for my last day due to an early start.

The room was really lovely, light, plenty of room, with a nice ensuite. We were greeted with a cold drink and the breakfast the next morning was excellent. We would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again. The location is perfect being in between, you can go to either part of the village easily. Parking availability is a bonus.

Stayed for the weekend, room 6 was amazing and we had no idea we would get breakfast in our room. Breakfast was quality and we will definitely be returning when we come back to the lakes!
