"Great location with free parking. Very friendly & helpful staff. The room we stayed in was on the top floor, which meant it was an unusual design, felt cramped. The en-suite had a very small shower and the extractor fan sounded like a tractor! Just feel like it needs a bit of maintenance/modernisation/love."

"Really lovely stay. The room was very spacious, spotlessly clean and well kept, with a modern bathroom. The spa was excellent, and it was especially nice to relax in the hot tub overlooking the mountains. Breakfast had a great range of options, including a hot breakfast and continental selection, and the food was excellent. Would definitely stay again. The only slight downside was the £10 parking charge, although I appreciate parking in the area is limited."
