This hotel is the BEST! Me and my partner have been travelling for a little while and this is the most charming, cosy, and characteristic hotel we have stayed in. It was brilliant. Firstly, the staff are all lovely. We were given recommendations for local hikes in the area (diamond lake and Rocky Mountain trail FYI - insane!!!) and the meal was 10/10, tender and tasty lamb rump and amazing croquettes. We stayed 2 nights and ate here both nights, really delicious. The room was so cute and decorated so tastefully. It was comfortable, clean and had gorgeous views of the area. We even got a little balcony area which was a bonus and just lovely to sit on. Laundry and amenities were spot on too. I absolutely raided the gift shop, I wanted to buy everything. The art work around the historic hotel and restaurant was amazing. It was such a special stay and unbelievable value for money. I will make sure I get to come back to visit this hotel again in the future! It’s left a mark on me - honestly one of my favourite places in the entire world. Thank you so so much.

Had the most relaxing low key stay with kids. A must-go for when you’d prefer to have quality time with the family rather than be distracted with all the bells and whistles of other accommodation options. Great restaurant and bar with food made from local ingredients. We will definitely come back 😊

The property is right next to the bar by the roadside, and the bar’s courtyard is just outside the room. Although the bar says it closes at 10 pm, they were still playing loud music after 10:30 pm, and customers were chatting in the courtyard. It wasn’t quiet or private enough, and the room was very small.
