No alcohol policy.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Location was fantastic. Amazing to finish the walk and arrive for an amazing burger, lit fire and cosy beds. Such a memorable stay with amazing hosts - fresh coffee in the mornings, cinnamon buns, hot hot showers and a cosy place to rest before and after the hike. Cannot recommend highly enough.
