Time out
On arriving we noticed front door was very dirty. Was expecting a welcoming Yorkshire hospitality surprise but nothing. The windows were really dirty and loads of cobwebs. The bedding was nice and clean and we slept really well. Our neighbour Neil was very helpful and offered us some kindling and firelighters thst first night he even got the fir going for us. Such a lovely man nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Neil. Gillamòor is a lovely village the local pub served good food and plenty of lovely walks nearby.
