Acceptable stay. Some issues exist

helpful staff adequate room breakfast service small room bathroom mold overpriced food

The staff was friendly and helpful. I appreciated the room size. I also found the breakfast service to be quite good each morning.

The room was a bit small. I noticed some mold in the bathroom, especially in the shower. I also felt the food prices were higher than they should be, considering the quality.

clean accommodation warm accommodation comfortable accommodation poor room service unmade bed missing toilet paper

i was very happy with my accommodation. it seemed like i was staying in a cabin as opposed to a tent. it was clean, warm and very comfortable. we had breakfast on our own terrace and walked our dogs on the quarry paths early in the morning.

the main disappointment was the room service. our beds were not made properly. toilet paper and tea and coffee were not replenished. it was really disappointing and not value for money.
