Our second visit in two years. We booked for two nights but stayed for three! Ian and Karen warmly welcomed us back, and we thoroughly enjoyed the great breakfasts, cake in the afternoon which was very welcome after a long coastal path walk, and extra touches like toiletries in the bathroom.

Our second stay at Downton Lodge confirmed our initial impression, that the McMasters greet and entertain their guests as if they were family.
