    The beautiful mountain setting compliments the serene, attractive grounds of Malachite Manor. The lamb shank dinner is not to be missed and the freshly made hot breakfast is a gentle homely comfort.

    Beautiful place set in a beautiful part of the region, with modern and very well-furnished rooms. Wide ranging menu for dinner (some of the best beef we’ve had) and a beautiful garden to sit in during late afternoon
