Warm welcome and comfortable stay
Pros:

Warm, friendly owners were invested in making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, which made us feel like we were visiting friends. They were also full of advice when asked, whether it be on local facilities like places to eat and shop, or things to do, best hikes, etc. which really helped us get the most of our 2 nights stay in this beautiful area. The beds were comfortable, nice duvet, good heater, and the room was quiet. Everything was super clean and in good working order. The breakfast was outstanding and served in a welcoming and bright room (the porridge is legendary). It was a lovely stay and we'll make sure to visit again if we come back to the region. Highly recommended.
