Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has some drawbacks with cold rooms, a leaking window, and noisy surroundings, but the breakfast delivery in a paper bag at 7 am was disappointing. However, the area offers beautiful leisure facilities and a lovely outside area for relaxing. The restaurant is praised for its hot and delicious food, but the breakfast menu and quality were subpar.
The hotel had a good size room nicely laid out with an extra basin for little people and a lovely view. The service was very good and helpful, especially by the owner's son, although some staff seemed disinterested. The location was the only good feature of the hotel, with easy access to hiking spots. The dining experience was not good, with low-quality breakfast options. The facilities needed refurbishing.
