between the mountains
and the sea. You
are only a short drive
to the spectacular

Firth. The town is
steeped in history with
it's own castle, ancient
market place and
interesting buildings.
The birthplace of
William Wordsworth is
located next door to the
hotel and Dove Cottage
is a short drive away.
