The property is a outdoorsy lodge style with log walls and a nice fireplace always running in the main lodge. The rooms were relatively large, each with a patio and balcony and a private sliding glass door. I stayed in the main lodge, which was nice, but there are also cabins. The staff was attentive, breakfast was good ( a full English breakfast with all the trimmings), as well as fruit, juices, yogurt and pastries. The hotel is about 2 km from the main village. I'd stay there again, I was there for 2 nights.

Location was convenient. Nice communal sitting area with fire and snooker table and selection of dvds you could borrow. We had a large suite, it was quiet if a little dated with drafty windows and it needed a new mattress as was very soft and roll together! Breakfast was included with modest buffet selection of food plus choice of cooked egg.

Upon check in we were greeted by Alex. He was super helpful with what walks to take, what restaurants etc. Very cute, cozy place with super view! Only issue is with the strong musty smell and the shower was odd. Two glass walls and no door so floor got very wet and slippery. Need grab bars in shower. The tub was awesome for a warm soak after long days hiking in the rain! Breakfast was very nice. Cleaning staff hung up our dirty towels, but Alex gave us clean ones after asking. Nice towel warmer also.
