"Lovely"

10.0

Everything. The lodge is located in a remote area at the bottom of a mountain. It is secluded and private with nature being your only neighbor. The couple who runs the place were lovely. The views are spectacular.

The journey is not for the faint hearted. Plan accordingly.

Großartig! Das Lodge liegt ca 5km von der „Haupt“ Straße entfernt. Ausstattung ist super und man hat alles was man benötigt. Highlight war definitiv der wunderschöne Aufenthaltsraum mit Ofen. Die Schlafräume waren zwar nicht stark beheizt aber es standen Wärmflaschen zur Verfügung Strom und warmes Wasser sind ausreichend vorhanden.

"Dion was a great manager of the property and explained everything at the out set."

8.0

Very well equipped kitchen with communal “left over” food. Ovens and hobs and kettles. We didn’t need it but can imagine the log burner stove in the winter would be amazing.

No charging facility in the room after 10pm
