Staff are great, helpful and friendly. The complimentary breakfast far exceeded my expectations. As I was travelling alone I stayed in the very understated basic room. In addition to being warm, clean and comfortable it is very tastefully decorated and a good size. The common lounge area is great for mingling with fellow snow enthusiasts and well stocked with tea, coffee a fridge and everything you need to enjoy your takeaway meal in comfort. I would probably ditch the pool table in favour of additional lounge furniture as seating was a bit tight on occasion. All in all a fabulous property and a great place to stay. And then there is the restaurant 😊
