10/10 Excellent
"Warm & Welcoming We had a wonderful stay here! The hotel was warm, cosy and very comfortable, with beautiful mountain views. The breakfast was delicious and had a great selection. We especially loved having our own private hot bath — it was the perfect way to relax after a day exploring the mountains. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing mountain getaway!"

8/10 Good
"Everything you need, and nothing you don't. The rooms were very cosy even though it was freezing outside. This was a great little stay for our family of four. Only gripes would be the mattresses were old and tired so you could feel the springs and they bounced around a lot, and the wardrobe in the bedroom would be a lot more useful if it was replaced with shelves or a chest of drawers. Would recommend this place again though despite these things."
