Beagle - The Upland Goose hotel has now closed, being turned back into houses (which it was originally was).
The other hotel is the MalvinA House Hotel, not the Malvinas, named after Malvina James, daughter of a Sheep farmer there in the 1880s, Malvina being an old scottish name, and nothing to do with the Argentinian name for the islands.
Contrary to popular opinion, rainfall in the Falklands is generally lower than most of the UK

But it is definitely windy.......................................
