If you’re in the area, honestly a must for a night
Pros:

After many days sleeping in my car and hiking a lot I treated myself and I’m happy I stayed in this gem! Lovely room, nice hut tub, gorgeous bar and restaurant with delicious beer and food :)
Very friendly staff too.

Cons:

The only reason why I don’t give 10 is the wifi, maybe it would be better just using a normal password for everyone than these room codes because my connection got lost every 2 min and I needed to type everything again :(

Als je de kans krijgt om hier een nachtje te slapen: Doen!
Pros:

Prachtig hotel met een lange geschiedenis. Heel goed onderhouden, met overal in de tuin mooie bloemen. Heeft echt charme. Het restaurant heeft een gezellig terras en een uitgebreide keuze voor ontbijt. Leuk personeel! Vlakbij zit de Cardrona distilleerderij, wat ook een bezoekje waard is.

Cons:

Één klein minpuntje: Bij de douche hangt een douchegordijn, maar dat is veel te kort. Daardoor wordt een groot deel van de badkamer nat tijdens het douchen.
