Very nice Stay!
helpful owner large portions
Andrew was helpful! The room was very comfortable. I enjoyed dinner. Portions were large and tasty. I also enjoyed the dog snuggling up to me while I worked!
The room backed onto the reception area. It was possible to clearly hear conversations at night despite the television being on.

The hotel includes a cozy lounge area with a log burner and beautiful ambiance. Fresh water bowls were readily available for dogs. This is so great. Campers can use the 24-hour tea, coffee, and juice facilities, so kind!!!
Rooms

My room was huge, containing a king-size bed and two singles. The room felt luxurious. The hotel offers rooms for families and solo travelers. Each room provides a comfortable bed and nice accommodation.

The staff were really good and so friendly and I have to admit that I was quite impressed! From early morning until late at night, there was always someone around to assist. Nicole, Francis, and Lee couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.

The setting is beautiful, nestled between mountains and trees. Pretty lights surround the house and campsite. The morning sunrise was out of this world. I caught the views and everything was amazing!!!

Comfortable stay with great amenities
friendly staff comfortable beds homely room
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. A conversation started immediately upon arrival. The beds were amazingly comfortable. The room felt just like home, but the bed was even more comfortable than the one I have at home.
The room was quite small. The pictures made it seem larger than it actually was. It was still manageable, but I needed to be creative with storing my luggage.

The hotel features complimentary tea and coffee available at all times. Breakfast is included, offering cereal and toast. The shower rooms are kept very clean despite the outdoor conditions. The location between the mountains offers a quiet setting.

The breakfast was convenient with toast, jam, coffee, and juice available. the thick dark curtains and blind were very effective at blocking out light. i found multiple sockets available in the room for charging my devices. The dining area was also clean.

limited space shared bathroom
The single room was small. there was virtually no space for luggage. furthermore, the shared bathroom was not only used by other rooms inside the house but also by those camping. This lack of exclusivity was disappointing. the continental breakfast consisted of limited items such as bread, cereals, and instant coffee.
