Kate and Mark know the area very well and enjoy sharing this information with their guests, whether it is about exploring the outdoors or sight-seeing. When not working in the B&B, Kate will be outdoors, fell-running, cycling, rock-climbing, mountain-walking or wild swimming. She also loves gardening and has an allotment nearby supplying the B&B with the occasional produce. Mark also enjoys all these activities and also runs an outdoor activities company 'Mountain Journeys'. In the winter months Kate and Mark spend time in Costa Blanca, Spain - in mountains and on the coast.
