A lovely welcome by the owners to this 2 year old property.
Appreciated the lift so we didn’t have to lug the suitcase up stairs.
The room was beautiful.
Bed ultra comfy.
The views of the mountain were great. Loved their snow caps.

Kate and Shane were wonderful hosts during my recent stay. The continental breakfast was perfect and had the bonus of nice yogurt, fresh fruit and fresh eggs too. I could not have asked for a better place to recover from a day being battered by headwinds on my bike!
I will definitely stay here again when the opportunity arises. Thanks again to both of you for your wonderful hospitality.
