Almost there
Pros:

Pretty close to the Pekoe trail (the bus can take you back and forth to the trail, 3 km away) and with a view of a hill and lake. Nice staff. Hot shower.
Great buffet lunch and breakfast.

Cons:

Spotty WiFi, light switches were behind the TV, tv remote didn't work.

Pros:

Personál byl extrémně vstřícný, pomohli mi naprosto se vším, co bylo potřeba. Potřebovala jsem pracovat a trochu jsem bojovala s pripojenim k internetu, dokonce mi půjčili wifi router až na pokoj!

Cons:

Pokud potřebujete na spaní opravdu ticho, je lepší mít u sebe špunty do uší. Večer byla dole hudba dost hlasitá.
