Perfect location amidst mountains with footpaths in all directions. Car parking was tricky when small car park full.
Not entirely sure what made our “Superior Room” superior as didn't look into any “Standard" rooms but was adequate, spacious and quiet, simply furnished, smallish TV, no real “luxuries” and no bath, just a large (nice hot) shower. Not the best mattress ever.
TV channels oddly only show London and Central – something to do with reception I was told – which isn’t much help for checking the local weather, although a printed forecast is put on the check-in desk every day.
Friendly and attentive staff during our three night stay, cosy residents and public/walkers bars and comfortable lounge, bar food menu rather limited, restaurant food and breakfasts excellent.
Some public areas, notably the doors and walls in upstairs passages very shabby, otherwise all in good order. The condition and simple room furnishing would perhaps not justify the tariff elsewhere but the great location compensates.
