excellent stay, minor hiccup

large roomcomfy bedfriendly staffcozy bar
i found the room to be quite large with a very comfy bed. the view from the bedroom was really nice, overlooking the scenery. staff members were both friendly and helpful . i especially liked the bar and the log fires, they added a cozy touch.
i noticed the bathroom needs some cosmetic maintenance, as the door didn't close properly. it couldn't be locked either, so i felt slightly insecure
