Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The place was lovely, with a beautiful view of the mountains. It was really spacious as well with lots of space inside, and super warm with the fireplace and underfloor heating. Biggest thing was it was a bit different to what was listed, the bunk beds aren't there anymore and we'd taken that into consideration when choosing the spot and there were spare mattresses but no spare linen. So now there are just x3 queen beds and x1 king bed, or bring your own linen for the mattresses. What was a nice surprise though is the listing suggested there was only one toilet, there are actually 3 toilets and two showers. There are also no curtains which didn't bother us as we are up quite early anyways and it was warm enough, but something to consider if we went back in summer. Overall would recommend and I'd go back.
