The location is peaceful. The staff is friendly. The room had a modern shower. The 'hikers breakfast' was exactly what I needed. It was AMAZING!!!

Okay stay
amazing trails drying room billing error dining area
The location proved fantastic for my walking holiday. I found it very easy to access many amazing trails. I stored wet clothes and boots overnight in a drying room.
The staff did not seem to know the menu. One staff member did not know what cream was. They also had a disagreement about a billing error in the middle of the dining area. This was not good.
