We stayed at the Higher Trapp on Christmas Day 2011 and I would say it was just average, nothing particularly negative or positive to say about this one. The hotel is set in a nice peaceful location. It's not particularly hard to find but it's further from the main road than you expect it to be. Check in was straightforward... More
