No one on property, waited for an hour and a half as notice on locked doors said walking the dogs. Found a mobile number and after 2 phone calls, got a txt to say babysitting, room 10 was open. We found rubbish bin in kitchen full! T.V. did not work. Still no one there at 8.30am next day and notice still saying walking the dogs. Would never go there again and will tell friends and family to not stay there.

Just a place to lay our heads on the way home. We arrived after dark and left early morning. Arranged to have the unit left open for us. Beautiful view of the ⛰️ mountain the next morning.
