6.0

The location, the kitsch decor, and the ping pong table.

We came midweek and mid season, and found it just ok. There was animal excrement on the mat in the climbing cave, and no toilet paper in the toilets.

Quaint room with decent bed to sleep there while visiting the area. Tea, coffee and a kettle provided in the room!

Communal Toilet - didn't realize the booking didn't include a toilet. The room we were in (42) was next to the bar, so noisy when there are functions.
