A great stay in the heart of Cumberland

Riding Fool is a hidden gem. Located on the main street in Cumberland, there are great restaurants, a brewery, a bakery and a great bar located all within a block or two. The trails are a short ride down the street. Rooms are very clean, bathrooms are clean and located close to the rooms. A great stay.

We enjoy.d the old building which is clean and comfortable. However, we had a double bed up against the wall which made it difficult to get up in the night. We would like to book a queen bed if that is possible as my husband is a big man, another time. Thanks Althea
