Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has comfortable beds with a pleasant view over the green surroundings. The shower provided plenty of hot water. Despite being located in the center of the village, the warm fire in the pub downstairs adds to the cozy ambiance. However, the rooms could be improved in terms of cleanliness.
This hotel is a gem nestled in the green surroundings, offering twin rooms with nice and comfortable beds. The service is top-notch, ensuring a pleasant stay for guests. However, the dining options are limited. Overall, a great value for money stay.
The hotel is perfectly situated in the center of the village with a lovely view of the mountains. The rooms are cozy with a good shower providing plenty of hot water, and the bed is very comfortable. On the downside, the price could be more budget-friendly, but the mountain view makes up for it.
