Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in a lush green area of mature trees, offering a tranquil setting close to the Zip Wire Slate Caverns attraction. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay with great lighting. However, the dining options were limited, and some amenities were not included in the price.
The hotel is situated in a lush green area surrounded by mature trees and nestled in the hills. The rooms offer a really comfy bed with stunning views but could benefit from updating. The service, although efficient, lacks a personal touch. The dining experience was pleasant with good coffee and fresh bread rolls. The facilities are adequate but not luxurious.
What I loved about this hotel was its stunning views that truly took my breath away, but there were some areas that could be improved. The rooms offer a beautiful view but could be more spacious, and the bathrooms were quite large, which was a nice surprise. I found the service to be top-notch, especially from a female staff member who assured me that my feedback would be passed on to the management. The location, nestled in the hills amidst lush greenery, was serene, but it was a bit far from certain activities I had planned. The dining experience, with its stunning views of mountains, was not included but was worth ordering, and the home-made bread was a delightful touch. The facilities were satisfactory but could use some modern upgrades.
