"A well appointed convenient and comfortable loft with fantastic views. Very pleasant and quiet in the late afternoon and evening. We were dismayed at the level of evasive noise including music and clearly audible conversation from the cafe below beginning around 7.20am until the end of the day. Jos did address the loud music in the early hours but still a lot of noise coming from below. Descent sound installation would help. If you are not bothered by noise then a great place to stay"

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 2 nights & absolutely loved it. Hilde was the most welcoming, hospitable hostess and nothing was too much trouble. The view is incredible & well worth the road trip in. If you're looking for a place to destress or simply enjoy nature then we thoroughly recommend XSPOT."
