A lovely quiet peaceful place to stay
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Clean and spacious room complete with comfortable bed. The balcony offers scenic views of the forest and the city skyline.However,the exit door to the balcony presents a tripping hazard with its door base. Very satisfied with the hot food served at breakfast. Due to its remote location, driving to this premise may be a bit tricky even with the help of the gps.

This is an amazing location but be aware the drive is a bit treacherous in the rain. It doesn't say on the website how steep the descent to the hotel is. This has been a stunning hotel in the past but does need updating in places. The beds are super comfy though. The drinking water however is not nice, really weird tasting (spoilt the tea/coffee) so take bottled water with you. We mentioned it but was told it's always like that and nothing wrong with it. Staff were friendly but looked a bit scruffy for such a nice hotel. We would stay again but not in the rain and we'd take our own water.

Nice view, the freezer was nice and the spa tub was a nice option in the room as the pool was very cold. There was a few ants crawling in various areas of the room but overall nice
