United Kingdom“Really clean. We were upgraded which was nice. Dog friendly. Great shower, friendly host who gave good local information. Can't fault it.”- Danielle Australia“Staff were super friendly and looked after our bags while we did an overnight hike. Actually let us leave our things in the room and come back to the same room. It was a super small thing that made a big difference to us. Thank you!!”
