Great place to stay

I have stayed at the Sleeping Giant several times. All the rooms are superb, and having a great restaurant is a bonus. I have stayed in different rooms; the bigger ones are really special. All have air conditioning and outdoor sitting areas. The area around is also stunning.

An absolute gem of a find. Beautifully designed and finished to the highest spec. Everything you could ever need. Pub on site which has such a warm friendly environment with excellent food. The Zoo is worth a visit and free too (donations to support it). Great for walks. The waterfalls are spectacular. We will definitely be back.
