Nice staff and location, but basic and too pricey.
Pros:

The location is great and parking on site is helpful. The staff are friendly and breakfast was nice.

Cons:

The beds in the rooms were uncomfortable. The breakfast doesn’t get served until 8am? we were going hiking early so this was a big negative. The jacuzzi/sauna has an additional cost. Overall I felt like the hotel was priced too high.

Muy muy sucio
Pros:

Quizás la ubicación, es un pueblo muy bonito y estar rodeado de tanta naturaleza hace más fácil la estancia

Cons:

Esta claro que reservamos un hostel, o un barracon, y eso se encarga la chica de la recepción de volver a confirmarlo, pero no quita que las habitaciones y baños tengan que estar tan descuidados y sucios. He ido a festivales con más limpieza e higiene que este lugar. Una cosa no está ceñida con la otra. No lo recomiendo.

Great for 3 peaks challenge hikers.
Pros:

There's everything you need for a decent night sleep after a long hike. Great location if you're doing 3 peaks challenge. Highly recommend booking the hot tub only a fiver per person. Great for sore muscles. Parking is easy round the back.

Cons:

Hot tub wasn't as clean as it could be. Rooms are very tight. The staff didn't have the correct details for the booking. I called previously to say we have 6 people for dinner & hot tub. They'd only put down 2. Only 2 meal options left too beef and turkey so didn't get to pick as that's all that was left.
