Akani is a great host and if you need anything he will bend over backwards to help! You can park right next to your chalet, which is very helpful. - I personally hate lodges where you have to park a distance away! - There is a pub nearby that gets noisy at times, but if you run a fan it drowns out the noise. The property is very close to the main road and is very safe! ##### Donald Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### M, UK Dec 31, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Accomodation.
