“A great place to stay when visiting the South Coast.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

Stayed 3 night at this hotel (pronounced Hlith) Outside was nothing special, modern spacious, tasteful and warm inside. Our room was a good size double with en suite, very clean. The bed was comfortable and we had no trouble sleeping at all. Very peaceful location.
The hotel manager was really really helpful and pleasant. He even arranged for an earlier breakfast for us on the day that we had a long drive.
Breakfast was a thoughful continental, an array of teas, preserves, cereal, yoghurt, warm bread, crispbreads, ham, cheese etc. Very nice indeed.
The evening meal was a set meal which was really good. When we were there the hotel was doing a nights package so the meal was the same each night. We ate out on the second night but as we had enjoyed it so much at the hotel on the first night, we decided to have our dinner ther on our final night. This of course means you can both have a drink or 2.
The hot tub in the garden was lovely for a soak after a hard days sightseeing too.
would go back tomorrow!!

“Very simple hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

The hotel is very simple. Rooms small and not very clean. Dinner was decent but the breakfast was very poor. Staff were pleasant. Nature around is wonderful but I do not recommend this hotel.

“More than OK for a short stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

Set off the main road and about 7km from nearest Hervagerdi. Very similar in format to Holiday Inn Express or Premier Inn. Rooms ok size wise with two single beds (can be pushed together). Bathroom ok with nice shower and clean towels. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was good with cereals, yoghurt, fruit followed with choice of breads, cheese, meats, salads etc etc. More than enough to start the day. We also had dinner included which was ok but nothing special so maybe better to eat out. Also best to stock up on drinks as no shop within walking distance. Hot tub at back gave nice chance for a warm soak before bed. Free wifi also available. Stayed for four nights and location ideal as base for south west peninsula. As I said more than ok for a short stay.

“Amazing hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2009
2
people found this review helpful

my group and i travelled to hotel on a tour group and rented out all the rooms in the hotel. the hotel is amazing. but before actually going i was a tad worried as the pictures of the hotel on the website made it look like a travel lodge, and i have had bad experiences with travel lodges. but if it wasn't for our bus driver i would of never found it in the middle of no where, but this is nice and offers some great views. whilst on our visit we saw the northern light which we could see clearly as there was no other light pollution. the food at the restaurant was actually amazing, all home cooked fresh food. the staff at the hotel are the nicest people you could ever meet and there hotel was beautiful. the hotel dog was amazing especially as she came meet us everyday when our coach pulled in everyday. the hotel also offers a hot tube which i never got time to use as when we got back from our jam packed days we were sooo very tired.

“Pleasant stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2009

We stayed for three nights and found it clean with basic needs. It is set at a very quiet location on a very quiet road. Breakfast was basic with a cold selection of foods. Evening meal was good with a variety of home cooked foods to eat. Overall a pleasant experience.
